I have had little formal education and was hesitant earlier about going to
the government offices but after attending The Hunger Project’s Women’s
Leadership Workshop I feel confident to go to the Block office and ask for
information regarding government schemes. I was considered a person with
a philanthropic bent even before I was elected and the village people have
benefited by a quality of mine in times of need. Now that I have entered the
realm of governance, I approach the government agencies and make use of
allocated funds for the benefit of the poor.I want to stand for re-election so that I can continue to help the needy and
poor people of my village and I am confident that the villagers would also like
to have me for another term.Yomrik Lollen
