A Family Learns to Thrive
By Snezana | GHNI Partner
Jelena lives in a orgovska mahala with her husband and three children (two boys and a girl). Her husband is a musician and supports the family as such. Life has been very hard for them. Now, Jelena is part of our Transformational Community Development (TCD) group. Her behavior towards her husband and children has improved and there is more peace in the family. Jelena has also learned how to care and maintain good health from the TCD.
Jelena’s daughter has a problem with her spine and leg. Jelena listened to the advice and took her daughter to the doctor. She's doing better, thanks to the TCD teaching. We hope to see more improvements in social and health areas in the community.

Young Man Takes Responsibility
By Snezana | GHNI Partner
Branka is a 43-year-old woman with a 16-year-old son, Vasa. Despite his young age, Vasa got married. There were many problems in the family due to finances, but thanks to TCD lessons, Vasa took responsibility for himself and his wife by forming an orchestra. He now earns an income for both of them.
Other Updates
Last month, villagers in jorgovska mahala were busy with agricultural work, harvesting plums. Now a large number of them are absent because they went to harvest grapes. Also, a number went to work for two months in Slovakia. Even with smaller numbers, we held regular meetings and made personal visits to families in the mahala.
Though they came into meetings tired from work, they were excited to hear our Transformational Community Development (TCD) lessons. Special attention was drawn to family topics on responsibilities in marriage and the upbringing of children.

Transforming lives
By Snezana | GHNI TCD leader
Transformative development is slow but visible in Dorgovska mahala Village. Last month, the children prepared an event for Easter. The parents were delighted to listen to the program prepared by their children in mahala. Women were baking cookies and they all brought juices to share. Villagers understand that unity can accomplish a lot.
Dragomir is part of our committee in mahala. In the past, he was a criminal involved with drugs and conflict with people in mahala. Today he’s a completely different person. Together with women from the Transformational Community Development (TCD) group, he teaches and continues to progress. He talks to others about what he has learned.
Our board in mahala is actively undergoing training. We are expecting great strides in progress.
