BR is an NGO in a country in Middle East North Africa region where a team of devoted staff work through the community approach of Community Development Education (also known as CHE). BR works with women in many poor villages. In a village in the suburbs of a big city, a local partnership was formed, and volunteers from the partnership were trained in CHE. Classes were formed and then met on a weekly basis. After listening and learning from them about their needs, the villagers decided to receive and discuss lessons on disease prevention, parenting, self-care, and moral values. These classes became an outlet for the women to speak from their hearts, share their problems, and find support and hope for their future.<\/strong> The volunteer facilitators also continued to be regularly empowered in their training and communication skills to enhance their work with the women.\u00a0 We praise God as these classes produced a huge impact in women\u2019s lives and their families.<\/p>\n

Transformational Stories:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

A woman attending the class shared<\/u>: \u201cI did not feel I had any worth. I did not finish my education, and this made me feel inferior and small among others. Because of the lesson on self-worth, I realized I have great value, and I am important because I am a human being created in God\u2019s image. And knowing my worth made me feel self-confident. Now, I also know that I am important to those around me, especially my husband and children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another woman shared<\/u>: \u201cIt was easy for me to get angry, especially with my children. After taking the lesson on parenting, I am trying to control my anger, and instead trying to use polite conversation with them. This has had a very good impact on my children, especially my daughter, as previously my relationship with her was not good at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another shared<\/u>, \u201cI benefited a lot from the lesson on nutrition. I used to focus on certain kinds of food and neglected the other kinds, but now I am including a variety of foods from the four food groups. I started to cook whole grains for my children.\u00a0 I also add yogurt to our meals and serve more green leafy vegetables.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
