Committees Come Together

By Snezana | TCD leader - Serbia

Listening intently to others sharing ideas
Listening intently to others sharing ideas

I have been personally encouraged by the home group that we started last December. New members joined us for the first time.

Today, we selected committee members from Mahala, and then we'll start a training committee. The Association of Citizens offered us their room so we could meet there and later host seminars for Mahala, all for free.

Our “Person of Peace” is Gordana and her life is completely changed. Upon our association, she listened to some lessons about kindness to others and then shared them with others in Mahala.  One villager, a woman, shared how she began being kind to others even when some were difficult or outright rude to her.  Weeks later, she noticed those same people who were once rude were learning from her example and being more kind to her and others.

We have also taught lessons about health and hygiene. Our plans for the next quarter are for training of committee members, and later volunteer training.

Thank you!

Snezana
