Today I visited a Self Help Group formed by a group of amazing women in Bihar, India. They are doing extremely well, and proudly shared with me their accomplishments and success stories.

As I listened to the hostess explain the benefits of her garden, I was brought a delicious cup of chai. Another woman politely interrupted the other, explaining that I had witnessed one of the numerous, practical changes brought on by the Cornerstone teachings. Since the hostess was busy facilitating the meeting, her husband made the chai for the group. The couple looked at each other and smiled, as a group member explained that this wouldn’t have happened just two, short years ago.

They took time out of their busy routines to pose in front of their impressive Kitchen Garden. Both were all smiles, clearly!
