My Journey at SVP
“From “I am willing to help you” to “I have so much to learn from all of you.”
From “we will do this for you” to “what can we do for you” to “how can we help you in your journey.”
From “been there, done that” to “wow, one more new insight.”
From “I want to be of use, but don’t know where and how” to being a member of a great group of likeminded people and part of an organisation which helps you find the right NGOs to work with and helps you grow.
From “helplessness and nothing can change” to “inspired optimism and confidence that, together, we can make an impact.”
Thank you, SVP, for helping me grow. I wish I had joined earlier.
