Love letter to my mentor Tami

Dear Mentor Tami,

I am always a kind of girl who finds happiness in helping others and in other’s happiness. I have sacrificed many of my own wishes in helping others or just to give the happiness to other people. Yes I am satisfied by doing this as happiness for me is to be satisfied. Now is the time to look after me as I feel the great need of knowledge and ideas to maintain my love to live life. I feel one cannot give happiness to other if he/she is not happy itself.

I had chosen VoF as the way to give voice to those who are unheard but throughout this journey I also have listened to myself, I have gone through the inner part of my heart to listen what it says. I need to strengthen my capacities and take out my weaknesses. I have always loved learning and the biggest challenge is the lack of resource to learn and now you are there, I want to listen to you as well so that I can learn more from you.

I have found that the way I communicate has been the biggest asset of mine and I want to use it to improve my as well as other’s life. For that I have even joined the short training based on community development. Together with you I want to strengthen the power of womanhood and make my ‘voice of vibrancy’ a tool to live my life delightfully.
