Voice from 2021 alumni​ -Pramo

Pramodhya B. Dissanayake, Sri Lanka

“I was expecting to finally learn strategies to tackle local issues.

However, AHI repeatedly brought up the topic of secure relationship. I was thinking to myself saying (in my mind), “I know that’s important. Let’s move onto discussing our community activities!!”.

Then finally time came for us to start talking about the difficulties and issues in the communities and what we were aiming for. As we dug into the reasons for difficulties, surprisingly enough, we always came across the things described in secure relationship! In other words, we realized that the first thing we needed to work on was relationship building.

What was so unique was that we had discovered it through the learning process together.”
