My personal assets map

Module 2, Assignment 1 and 2

I made a map of my personal assets using Power Point and have attached it to this post.

I feel my greatest asset right now is the network of friends and experts that are helping me achieving my goal of reducing the incidence of childhood sexual abuse in India and providing support for survivors. I may not be able to post each one of their photographs but without this network of facilitators I would not be able to make any progress. I represent them with a multicoloured icon in this public posting. However, I maintain a detailed list of contacts on my computer and various communication devises.

My second asset I feel is my own inner strength. Having lived over half a decade and faced many challenges in life, I have gained resilience to weather hard times. I am also very fortunate that I had access to the highest levels of education which in itself brought me many opportunities for training and experience. Although I am posting a picture of myself to represent this, I do not stand alone - the asset is an integration of me as a person within the societies that I live in and take strength from.

My third asset is the physical space I live in most of the time on Vancouver Island, Canada. It is a safe (very important factor of women) and beautiful place and I find peace and healing when I am in my garden or in nature. This gives me strength to face the challenges of the project that I am trying to do which can be very emotionally draining at times. This space is my self care haven.
