Abhaya Action

The most fulfilling and powerful part of this teacher training program for me, was the chance I had to volunteer and get close to people that I would not have a chance to meet otherwise. I have learned so much and connected so deeply, that I felt it was me who was benefiting from it. They gave me so much joy. I had never felt my heart so open before!
