Strength TogetHER 5- Session 8

 


14th December,2020

Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from our own actions. To be happy we need to cherish even small moments of our lives.

 In order to cherish the smallest happiness and to add more sparkle in our lives, Strength TogetHER cohort 5 conducted its eighth session on the topic ,"Best things in life are free.". The session was moderated by Mrs, Aayusha Gupta, who has currently ventured out into starting into her own practise firm. She is a young chartered accountant and also loves talking to people of different background.

We started the session by hearing each one's story which added more joy and excitement.

• Our first speaker confessed that she finds happiness in very small things. It is very difficult for her to get sad. Concluding, it is good as well as bad trait that she possesses.

• Our second speaker says that she finds her happiness in her family. She feels happy when she is able to bring a beautiful smile on her family members's face even if it is by cracking a small silly joke.

• Our third speaker shared an incident which gave her immense happiness. She was able to help a lady by offering her a glass of water who was very thirsty and was roaming outside in search of it everywhere. Some happiness cannot be bought because it's priceless.

• Our forth speaker said that she finds happiness in almost everything, starting from helping her friends with their work, cooking food with her mother, eating oranges under the sun during winters, or getting what she was thinking about the enitre day.

After hearing all the stories, our moderator asked us to think for a moment about the instances or activities that gave us happiness on that particular day. It was really a fun session. At last, we came too the following conclusion;

• Cherish small moments of life.

• Value relationships.

• Never outlook small things.

• Inculcate your goal as a habit.

• Small things gets accumulated to become something big.

The session was a huge success which was lived for about 90 mins through the virtual world of zoom. It was really a fun, interactive and productive one.

Don't forget to be happy and cherish life and it's gifts.

December 29, 2020 Give time to yourself to think about the things you are achieving in your day to day busy life. With the same motive, on December 29 we had a session to discuss about the development and changes we noticed in us during the phase of lockdown. At around 5:15 pm we gathered via zoom.We all were really excited to go to the past and talk about our wonderful experience during that time. It was exciting as well as something to be remembered as it was the first session of Strength TogetHER where we had a session without any moderator. As the sessions were drawing to end, we decided to make it a learning session with each other. Facilitated by ‘Lokopakar’ youth organization which focuses on the development of youth personally or professionally in Nepal, 'Strength togetHER' virtual program is created especially for girls and young women of different mindsets and backgrounds. During the sessions, they all come together to share various views, ideas, perspectives, experie

  17th October,2020 Audre Lorde once said and I truly quote, "It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences." If we really give this quote a deep think, we will realize the heavy truth prevailing in this simple thread of words. We often tag certain things as "unordinary" just because our version of the "ordinary" was different. To put up in simpler words, most of the times, we are unsatisfied with the reality because we had a different expectation put up in our head. But, it's not wrong when we hesitate to accept the unordinary because it's a "human thing" to do. To accept the unordinaries, whether it's a place or an event or our friends or even our own selves, the topic for this time was "Accepting the unordinary." We had our session on 17th October, 2020 and to help us see the beauty of our flaws and celebrate it, our moderators was our joyful and energ

5th September 2020 "A strong woman stands up for herself and the stronger one stands up for everybody else."  The main motto of Strength TogetHER is to rise ourselves by lifting others as well. A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely. She is both practical and spiritual. And, that's what we all are in this session- strong women. Strength togetHER is a virtual platform which provides safe space for girls. It is facilitated by Lokopakar, a youth organisation bringing innovative programs for the youths. It has already helped many girls to gain self confidence and realise their self worth. This program has inspired many young girls to discover their self love. Therefore, we decided to expand the session to a larger audience. And I feel so proud to say that we have conducted the introductory session of Strength togetHER, cohort 5 successfully. We were really excited to start the session with a new group of girls. I was very excited to meet and talk with new p
