Returning their Hope. Another girl, Shibani Bagh, lost her parents at a young age, and was forced to drop out of school, to support herself and her younger sister. Joining Ankur Kala in 1986, she has become a good artisan - today she is a supervisor at the centre and trains other women in the art of Batik and Tie-And-Dye.
Like Parveen and Shibani, there are many other women, from many different communities who came to Ankur Kala helpless and rejected. Today these have blossomed into confident and positive persons, economically self-reliant and socially aware of their rights. More so, inspired by Ankur Kala's Mission - which transformed their lives- many of them want to become agents of social change by motivating other women to become economically and socially empowered.
Unity in Diversity. Although the women come from different communities and religions, they work and share together as one community, An important factor behind this spirit of oneness is the daily morning prayer and meditation at Ankur Kala, where the women meditate, pray and sing together as one family - "Saab ka mangal, saab ka mangal, saab ka mangal, hoi re," ... Let good happen to everyone. This is a special part of Ankur Kala's training programme and many visitors who participate in this morning prayer are very touched and inspired by the experience.
