Love your observations, Paris! And I'm sure you'll pick up the rope spinning if you have it a few weeks (or years??..... but surely you'll take less than a few decades to learn!) - also love this & I totally agree 👍 - "Archana's story isn't really about masonry, or carpentry, or hair oil. It's about what happens when women are given the tools, the funding, and the trust to keep going long after the first fight is over."

Love your type A personality and couldn't agree more that there is so much work left to be done! But you've done your part so beautifully this week. Take what you've learned and go change the world. AWC is so happy with your contributions .

"One thing I’ve noticed across every organisation we’ve worked with in Kerala is that none of them are trying to “save” people. They’re creating opportunities and then trusting people to shape their own futures. That feels like a much more respectful, and much more sustainable, way of creating change." 👏👏👏

Thank you so much for sharing your perspective, Maria. This is exactly what the programme is designed for! Honest reflections on what you see on the ground, and real venues to express them.

So happy that you got to meet Sister Thresiamma 👏 Women Can!

"I realised that collaboration isn't only a loud, visible togetherness. It is the quiet strength of a system built so strongly that a sudden absence doesn't sink the ship. Instead, it simply proves the strength of the crew." 

You did well, Paris!

Lorelai 😍 you write so beautifully. 

Can't wait to meet that person at the end of 6 weeks 🤗

Abiiiii!!!!!! Couldn't have guessed that you were pushing yourself outside your comfort zone 😉 you looked sooooo at ease as the group leader.
