Restoring Faith since 1991
I am glad to have been associated with Vishwas as a volunteer. The intense training, induction and supervision and various connects with other volunteers are helping me to learn and grow as a counselor. As I reflect upon myself, learning from Vishwas is helping me in my personal life and the way I look at the world.
Live and learn life by empathetic and deep listening. I look forward to Vishwas to keep improving myself with an experienced mentor and wonderful fellow volunteers. I am grateful to be part of Vishwas.
As I am interested in psychology and counseling I was looking for a volunteering opportunity in this field where I could serve keeping in line with my values.
From the start of my interaction on email for volunteering with Vishwas, to my understanding of their values and my intense training and the process of feedback and supervision, I feel highly fortunate to be part of this team. Vishwas is professionally organised and ethically committed and integrity is of paramount importance.
I signed up with Vishwas on hearing about their dedicated , passionate and professional team of volunteers. It has been barely a couple of months and I’m still in training but I can already see how rigorous , systematic and organised things are here and why the Vishwas model works. Looking forward to being a part of this team.
I wanted to do something which can bring meaning and purpose to my life and increase my wellbeing. Volunteering has positive impact and benefits me as a person to improve my relationship with others. It helps me to connect to the community and hold a better perception about life in general.
I am really excited to begin my journey as a volunteer with Vishwas. After going through the intense training, I am seeing the learnings finding expression in my day-to-day interactions with family and work, and it’s definitely helping me become a better version of myself. Being Empathetic and non-judgemental is simple to understand but can be quite difficult to practice, I am hoping that I am able to inculcate them as a way of life, as we go along.
I had heard of Vishwas and the excellent work they were doing to help people with emotional stress even before I settled in Bangalore. So it was with great eagerness that I volunteered. The superb training programme took my breath away with its tremendous learning, sharp insights and hammering in of all the essential ingredients to become a committed Vishwas volunteer.
It has been eight years since and though I have learnt a lot, the learning is still ongoing…
My journey in Vishwas started as a wish to help people, what I didn’t expect was all the growing and help I keep getting back. I am so proud and grateful to be a part of this wonderful family, Vishwas!
Having raised two teenagers and simultaneously cared for elderly in law’s and parents gave me lot of perspective in life. I wanted to help those who need emotional support dealing with these issues. I wanted to learn the techniques and insights for doing effective counselling. Vishwas provided me the perfect opportunity to learn, understand the nuances on how to deal with the counselling intricacies. Viswas’s training was very interactive and insightful. It provided me completely different perspective on how to deal with emotional issues. I realised that I have lot to learn but I am confident that I can do so with guidance from Vishwas. I would like to thank all mentors who took time to guide and help me.
Reminiscence of a path I have followed over the last 22 years with passion and perseverance. Vishwas to me has become my way of life. This most satisfying and fascinating journey has made me the biggest beneficiary. It has awakened me to understanding the uniqueness of human minds and their behaviors. I have moved away from taking stands of right and wrong to accepting and realizing that there are many perspectives. The challenge is to tune in to the right frequency of these perspectives be it – a couple, a family or a work situation.
I want to use this opportunity to thank each one of my colleagues for their faith and support they had in me over the years. I truly believe that Vishwas wouldn’t exist but for this support. I would also like to express a deep sense of affection and gratitude that the people I reached out to have bestowed on me. Their good wishes and positivity keeps me going until today.
And to Vishwas all I want to say is you taught me commitment, discipline, empathy and humility.
I salute YOU.
Vishwas has positively impacted me in more ways than one.
Here, I have learnt that though I can never really change anyone, I can help. I can be a resource. I can nurture, listen to, empathise, understand, serve, sacrifice, appreciate, accept and affirm. I can provide the opportunity, the nurturance and the encouragement.
And as I endeavour to bring comfort to the anguished lives I am privileged to touch, I with reverence and gratitude in my heart say to Vishwas, ”You lift me and I lift thee, and together we ascend”.
