Umm Shahd attends the Transformational Community Development (TCD) group and enjoys it. She shared, “I am an introverted woman who doesn’t like to interact with people. I am known for not visiting anyone and not participating much in community events. When we were given the lesson on introversion and its negative effects, this lesson described my condition because I was lonely because I am introverted. I learned to participate in the TCD group and began having home visits with the TCD worker. I also encouraged my daughter to attend the TCD children’s class, and now I volunteer to serve the village children. I have begun to give space to the people in my life and try to remain positive. This has made a difference in my psychological state with myself and with those around me.”

Thank you,
