Impacting the Heart
One young girl is taking noticeable steps towards changing her attitude and values.
Viola, a little girl from Shusha Village, was known to be very materialistic and possessive of her things. After attending the Transformational Community Development (TCD) group, the lessons on giving and loving others made a big impact on her attitude and values. She began to have a change of heart and decided to behave differently. She used some of her personal allowance and bought cookies to give to the group. She was surprised at how good this made her feel. Even though this seemed like a small step, it was meaningful because it came from a changed heart. Viola’s family testified with joy that she is no longer the same as she was. She is becoming a child who knows how to give.
Thank you,
