This training has inspired me.
The fact that
women would all get together
and discuss on the fact that they are able to do something
and be able to
encourage eachother
to move forward in order to
advocate for
themselves but also for their daughters
and other women who will soon emerge.
This training has inspired me to always use
a non violent communication
everywhere I go.
be it at work,
in groups,
and in my family also.
Being a leader in
the Association Fontaine Isoko
I will try to bring people to awareness,
to advocate so that
my entourage
would be aware of
the participation to the 2015 elections.
In my province, I will try to sensitize small groups of people
but also sensitize women who are
in associations
in order to make them participate
in getting elected
in the coming days.
I saw how someone can get
someone to accept his vision.
I got to understand that I also had a vision
that others can follow.
I can convince them
to also follow my vision.
As we are in the pre-election period,
I will teach others,
especially women,
burundian women,
so that they may also participate
in the 2015 elections.
I would also wish that women
with me in the association, to elect
and also to be elected.
I want to show them that
they are also able to do something.
They are able to change
something.
I would begin in my family,
in my society, I will do what I can
but there are other things that I cannot do on my own means
so I will look for help elsewhere
and set up an awareness project.
I'm a teacher
in High school
in grade-one and grade-two classes.
Especially those youth of my class because they are young and will soon be leaders.
I will first talk to them
about characteristics that define a good.
Prepare them because they are the ones
who will lead us.
And become presidents.
I will talk to them
about skills of communication,
non-violent communication that a leader needs
and
that I have seen in our everyday life.
Sometimes we don't communicate
as well as we should
in the messages we communicate
there are no
messages that raise others
that give
hope
to the future
and sometimes messages without prejudice
especially if you know
in our tradition
there are prejudices
prejudices taken as though they were normal
so we have to come out of those normal circumstances
in order to open to the world and finally help others.
There was a question that was raised to know if
everyone
is involved in change
in advocacy.
In the beginning we had
women who said that
advocacy was for
the elected representatives,
administrators,
deputees,
for the governor,
but after the trainings
they came to understand that
they have a role to play for change to happen.
The training has not been
a platform where I transmitted techniques, or everything I knew
rather it has been a framework for exchange.
We discussed.
The impression I had
is that they already knew their mission
and they also knew that
they had experience
so as I shared with them techniques
they shared with me their experiences
and their experience served for me as a study case.
I also received from them
and I have a positive impression.
