A Cooperative Spirit
Through learning the value of obedience, one girl transformed her behavior, becoming closer to her family and friends.
Aisha is a beautiful and intelligent girl who loves to laugh and play but was slow to respond to commands, which annoyed those around her. One day, during a Transformational Community Development (TCD) lesson on obedience, she learned it is an act that can bring harmony and peace. Aisha realized the importance of obedience and decided to try to carry out commands immediately. She began to listen and comply at home and in the group, and she became cooperative and responded with a smile. Since then, Aisha has felt comfortable and happy because she realized that obedience is not only pleasing to people but also draws her closer to her parents and friends.
Thank you,
