Deeplaxmi Amberkar

English Teacher, Dharavi Centre

"It has been a pleasure and I truly appreciate the opportunity to work with Hamaara Sapna.

In my one year of interaction with the women here I have gained an insight of the problems they face and the lives they live. I can see that they have gained skills and confidence here. The teaching goes beyond the class as few of the women here send me messages in English with their queries and communication.

The real challenge in life is not being better than others but being better than yourself. In this regard, I would say that Hamaara Sapna has become a success as the women here have shown improvement as compared to the first day that they walked into the class. Thank you Hamaara Sapna for giving these women a life changing gift."

Pushpa Singh

Embroidery Teacher, Tardeo Centre

"I would like to share my experience with you. It has been 2 years since I joined Hamaara Sapna. This is really a great platform for teachers as well as students (i.e. for ladies) to learn and explore their knowledge “Hamaara Sapna” is one of the best NGOs I have come across. It fully and purely work as NGO, for development of women. It’s my pleasure to work with such an organization. “Hamaara Sapna” has built my confidence at a great extent. I have worked with many organizations before, but such an environment of working is commendable.

Minal mam you are doing a fabulous job. You are building self confidence among the housewives who are not able to explore their talents. You are providing a great help by educating them and building their skills and motivating to come up.

Last but not least, mam thank you for giving me this opportunity to work with you and your organization. I am glad to inform you that I am enjoying my work and I am learning a lot too."

Sanjali Jain

Intern, Hamaara Sapna Tardeo Centre

"In the winter of 2016 I volunteered to work at Hamaara Sapna , a non profit organization dedicated to providing women with a strong foundation which helps them to be self reliant and independent. This was my first time working at an NGO. It was one of the most elating experiences of my life. Interacting with the ladies showed me a whole other side of our society. The honesty and openness with which they told me about themselves and their feelings about this organization did not once make me feel like a stranger. Helping them out with English and Computers made me realize that such small contributions by people like us can leave such a big impact on others. Their dedication and sincerity to learning and growing was what made me want to come here every day. Every time they would see me they would make an effort to greet me in English. I asked to not just greet me but even converse with me as well their peers in English. They were shy and embarrassed at their English in the beginning but even giggling and laughing at themselves they made an effort. The eagerness to learn which Hamaara Sapna has instilled in them is what marks the success of this organization.

Another highlight of my experience was in helping in planning and organizing the 5th Annual Day of Hamaara Sapna to be held in February. A lot of them were very keen on participating in the Annual Day. It was truly a joy to see their enthusiasm and excitement. Their confidence and eagerness to not just showcase their talents but even to explore their potential is what I admired the most. The event has dance performances, Yoga Performances, Singing , Acting and a lot more. It is amazing to see how gifted the ladies are and that they are being given a chance to realize their talent. The teachers here constantly encourage and push the ladies towards being the best version of themselves. The bond the ladies share with their staff and faculty is what makes Hamaara Sapna so special. The multifold and holistic development approach of Hamaara Sapna has helped these ladies in a tremendous way and will continue to do so. Being able to contribute here in whatever small way that I could, has really been a great experience for me. I wish Hamaara Sapna all the best in its future endeavors."

Krishnakumar Shinde

Yoga Teacher, Tardeo and Dharavi Centre

"I am working here since last three years as a yoga teacher. Thanks to Minal madam for giving me a good opportunity to be the yoga teacher. As I am teaching yoga practices to students, I can see that they are improving at the physical and mental level. The confidence level of students has also increased. Effective yoga practices for knee pain, back pain, headache is making a difference to the students.

There were some who were having a negative attitude towards yoga to start with. However a gradual positive change has overcome them as well. Now Yoga is becoming their favorite subject."

"Since I started, over five years ago it's been an amazing and enjoyable learning experience at Hamaara Sapna which inspires learning growth and challenges to these women to rise in their lives. I hope I have been able to do justice to the ladies who come to learn computer from me. Throughout my experience, I have received wonderful support from the students and all staff members. I always feel safe to talk to administrative team about areas of growth.

Teaching here is an experience, never to be forgotten. It’s like a new Family with the presence of caring students and all team members as if I belong to this huge family, not just a outsider.

I would just like to say a big thank you to the whole team of Hamaara Sapna.
