My Journey of Transformation

--

My name is Pooja Makwana, and I come from Khodiyarnagar, one of the slum areas of Ahmedabad. Let me share with you my journey of transformation. It all began when I joined the Health Club and received training on sexual and reproductive health. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of a profound change in my life.

Shortly after, I was introduced to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) training. Before this, the concept of relationships and their significance was foreign to me. It was something I took for granted. However, through the guidance of Sanchetna team, and the support of my fellow group members, I eagerly embraced the opportunity to delve deeper into this training.

As the NVC sessions unfolded, I found myself learning invaluable lessons. I discovered how to communicate effectively, maintain clarity in my interactions, and recognize my own emotions and needs, as well as those of others. It was a journey of self-discovery and growth, one that completely shifted my perspective on life.

Today, I am filled with a sense of calm and peace, thanks to the mindfulness I have cultivated through this training. My thoughts are clearer, and my approach to life is more positive than ever before. I am deeply grateful to Sanchetana for guiding me on this transformative journey.
