Lack of advice
The youth and women of Moshira were very happy after I told them that I would be there to talk
to them and give advice on life. That’s when they couldn’t wait to see when we start because
most of them have been having problems for a long time and need people to talk to. On the first
day of our meeting, I saw that it is important to always meet as women. We have so much on
our shoulders in our families, We deal with teenagers and siblings.
We went to the community to let people know that we would have the workshop, where they
walked around telling people that other people would come with them. They can also get life
advice. On day 2, I saw that now our job is big. We were there to talk about someone who is
always abused but needs help, after the session I went with another woman who was there
during the workshop to visit the house. We arrived there and luckily we found the wife, and she
said if you see the chairs come to my family. We will talk about the abuse because she was
there and this shows us that traditional marriage is oppressing women and they are emotionally
abused. This is killing us, but she told us she needs help seriously. I promised her that we would
deal with her case with the law because it was my job to help the abuse.
Interview 1
We as young people of Moshira loved the lesson we learned about counseling and still think
that one day we will get the same guidance that we ended up with. We think we will spread our
knowledge to the community that needs help. They can come to us so they can be spiritually
healed, your wisdom continues to help people.
Interview 2
We are the women of Moshira team counseling sessions, and we thank you so much guys for
helping us. I feel so relieved and healed. I learned so much from you and I promise you to
recruit other people. And I also learned that, if there is something before me I need to let it go to
make peace with my soul.

As a community, we need a session like this that will accommodate all genders, because this
session is helping. Those who were part of the session are saying it was helpful, and we can
see it is so helpful.
