Thank you for this group. I have a little WhatsApp group in South Africa called Storm in a Teacup. We join ,just simply because we are women facing the same problems . And collectively we solve all our problems..And believe me like any other part of the world we face same struggles ,and I just I have a few best friends from there too ,for life . I've just read how a lady in our group was scanned because she wanted to make an honest living. It upset me as this is what we are fighting for . Education for our children,and peace in our community . We had arranged for a visit to a local hospital this month where we met unregistered workers ,and how they earn their livelihood and every single story is horrifying and majority land up in the hospital's with no medical care They left their homes to improve their lives by working hard,but am sick with noone to take care of them . Through the forum of world pulse I will keep writing their stories,as none wanted to be pictured . Please hold my hands so that I can give them a better life they deserve .And a kind word is all I need

Hi dear,
Another great post from you. I loved your WhatsApp group name " #storminateacup " wow!
Women with common goals fighting for one another :-)
Can I join? Or is only for natives?
I can forsee them impact you got on one another splendid!
Thanks for sharing and I hope sincerely you find help for these women. Have you asked them/ introduced them to join world pulse? I think that way they get to write about their stories and be encouraged same time.
Take care of yourself and best wishes.
Regards
I have been sharing their stories here often.bThe women I am struggling with just to speak are not very comfortable with technology..I am also the Tech Soup Leader and am teaching them to use technology for months now. I have increased the classes since I became an Ambassador. Very soon we will have at least the younger ones here...It is a closed group,as they will stop sharing their lives if they dnt know the other girls ..So it is in currently only in the township I work for.
But I'll ask the elders ,if they are comfortable,I will get back to you .
Hi Basudha,
Thank you so much for sharing about your WhatsApp group. It such a wonderful idea that you share and discuss your experiences. We all face challenges on a daily basis and you need that outlet where you can reach out and talk to people and share solutions. This is a wonderful idea. We have a WhatsApp group as well of world pulse sisters in Uganda and we hope to meet each other on the 30th of November to get to know one another on a personal basis.
Thank you sharing.
Wonderful ..We try to meet on a fortnightly basis.It is not essential.tjat all members join,but we gather and talk and learn .Best wishes for you too .

Hi Basudha. Your title got my attention. It is interesting. Please tell us more about storm in a tea cup. And do share their stories. One may learn from them. It's alright when they don't want their pictures taken. We respect their right to privacy.
Please take my hand. I'm holding yours. Wish you'll get the resources needed to support them. Bless you my sister.
