September 2022
During the rainy season most people completed the threshing paddy. But not me. My big worry was how to get time to thresh the paddy. However, I had confidence that I would discuss this during the meeting next day and therefore I felt relaxed and slept well. Early in the morning I completed my household chores and was ready for the meeting. In the meantime Pabitra came and greeted me. I joined Pabitra and we went to the meeting. On the way I discussed with her about my worry to thresh my paddy, and as usual she suggested not to worry and discuss this in the meeting.
After the repayment and saving meeting, I requested time to discuss my problem. My big worry is that since my health is not good, I needed support from my team members to thresh my paddies. Everyone asked what type of help I was looking for. It was not comfortable for me to ask directly for help therefore, I explained my expectation. My group members look at each other for a while and then asked when I needed support. I said as soon as possible. The group decided to help the next day and each member would support with two-hours of work on my paddies. After listening to our member’s views on the needed support, I was so happy and I felt so proud to be a member of the WAWCAS group. Early in the morning the next day, we started threshing my paddies and by 6 pm we had completed everything.
I thanked them all from the bottom of my heart: Thank You Thank you Thank you
