*I ponder on the the question -who am I?
*I love SALT but practice is difficult.
*Want to explore the connection between SALT & spirituality.
My professional interests are facilitating community conversations, participatory action research, participatory evaluation, gender and equity issues; complexity and systems thinking; Public health and child and bonded labour and child are two issues I have primarily worked.
My dream:
-Non-judgemental
-Have no expectations from anyone as they are cause of misery
-to be selfless in whatever I do. If I help I do not expect anything in return, if I care I have no selfish motive. Otherwise its business.
-to connect as a human being with others
-to be appreciative
-to be a deep and compassionate listener
I'm proud of:
I have tried to follow my inner voice. When I facilitate SALT, feel that this is what I was meant to do.

yes, my name given by my father does have special meaning. It consists of two Chinese characters: Tian(甜) means 'sweet';Fang(芳) refers to 'fragrant' which was given after my three older sisters (the last character of their names is Fang). But yet I still don't know why my father gave Tian to me, because I can not figure out its relation to my sisters' names. My father's answer to this was simple. He said:" I prepared a boy's name because we supposed you were a boy...so when I know you are a girl, I just randomly picked out a character from a Chinese dictionary."
Hi Rituu, I see Australia is not one of the countries listed in the header. I would like to encourage some friends to join, so could it be please? I would like Australians to know more about other countries' stories and vice versa.
Thank to invited me to join us. It´s a pleaser to meet you and to see all the love and passion you have for your work. For sure i have a lot to read, hear and learn about you.
Thanks for attending the AIDSCON and making an excellent presentation. It was really a different way of presentation without entangling the audience in power point presentation and making an effective interaction with audience.
I would have loved to meet however I moved to Milan in February and I am based here at least until July. Sorry about the confusion, a good reminder to make sure I modify my profile.
Hopefully we will still be able to meet up at some point soon enough.
Thank you Rituu for your welcome post. I just wrote a post on my experience with Joke and Gemma in Kerkrade in November. I'm sorry for writing this report in Dutch (with lots of quotes in English ;-) Maybe I find time to translate it in English.
Thank you for the welcome Rituu. I am very happy to be part of such a wonderful group of people and applying this o the project I am buidling. Looking forward to listening sharing and lots in the future. Hopefully we will get to meet!
I know only a very few things on the work being done by you all. would like to know more and participate in one or two events you are organizing. would like to discuss about the tools and tips on health education and health related training programs. Congrats for your committed and concerted work.
HHave used SALT in my studies especially when doing our project work this has helped us to complete our project faster and incorporated everyone's point of view. This has helped all members to own the work done by the group as their own and justify information given by the members like it was their original idea.
It is experienced that children and adolescent girls can provide unbiased feedback and raised the issues affecting them, their families, schools and wider community-if equipped with skills, opportunities and platforms for participation. We are building skills of children and adolescent girls for up streaming their issues through writing their stories, participating in community level participatory planning on their needs, communicating with service providers, influencing gendered and development oriented behaviors. Oracle under its CSR initiatives is supporting us for empowering adolescent girls in sphere of integrated community development in Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh. We would like to associate with you to share and enhance journalistic skills of children and adolescent girls for their sustainable empowerment.
Your post is inspiring! I had to grab the last part and repeat it here:
Everyone knows what isn't right...their flaws, their weaknesses, but few people know and focus on their strengths, the talents, their skills, their blessings... what is right. It's true isn't it... when our own mental patterns guide us we feel so empowered, no matter what challenges we have, no matter what mountains we need to climb, we make a plan and go about getting it done. More importantly, when we share our dream with others they feel the need to help us fulfill our dreams. We dream together and each other’s words feed our minds and stimulate thought and action.
I end with a beautiful quote by Dom Helder Camara: When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.
My experience in this particular is brand new. Most of my experiences of community both good & challenging have been faith-based in the United States, Canada, & Puerto Rico.
For several years I was active in the Mankind Project local community in Cleveland, OH. New Warriors is a rite of passage for men with weekly groups for support. I facilitated several of these during my time there.
I love everything about community, especially sitting in circle. Currently, I am a co-host for monthly World Cafe online calls. Also, taken a course on The Circle Way.
My BIG wild idea is a sustainable ecosystem where each of us is supported for life. We have someone greeting us at birth and usually helping us leave at death. Our first breath is witnessed by another human being. And, so is our last. Why not have life support for every breath in between? From cradle to grave.
Thanks for adding me on Community Life Competence group. As per your suggestion I have added my profile picture. It is really nice to be a part this wonderful platform.
