Namaskar, I am Dudh Kumari Gurung from the 7 Days Training Hall. Today marks the last day of the 7 Days Training , and I am filled with joy. I truly feel like I have become a more complete person. As human beings, we must seek knowledge, and today, I have taken a significant step toward that.
Growing up in a remote village in Lamjung, I never had the chance to explore the world beyond my surroundings. It was a journey of discovery for me, as I came to understand that women have their own rights. I have learned about our struggles and the strength we possess to overcome them.
During the training, I discovered the power of group dynamics and the strength that comes from seeking support from others. I learned to reduce unnecessary expenses and gained valuable insights into my strengths and weaknesses. I was truly amazed by how much I could learn in just seven days.
As an illiterate woman who struggles with the Nepali language, I found it remarkable that our trainer, Sunita Gurung, taught us in our own language. Her ability to explain concepts clearly filled me with joy and gratitude, reminding me that with the right support, we can overcome any challenge. It was not only easy for me it was easy for most of the group members because we are in the same ethnicity.
Through this training, I strongly feel that my life has been changed a lot. We learn how to manage time, how to make business plans, and very importantly to visualize where we want to be in three years from now. To speak honestly, I never think about where I want to be.
In the beginning, when we first heard about the 7 full days of training, I was unsure whether I would be able to stay that long and absorb so much information. However, time flew by, and now I feel that the training should continue for a few more days. We received seed money of 25,000 rupees, and I am committed to starting my business according to my plan.
