Basreen – A “Shadow of Peace” for Her Whole Street

Basreen shared that before joining the program, her neighborhood was full of petty fights, jealousy and backbiting, which destroyed everyone’s peace of mind. After attending the SMG program and personally practicing patience, tolerance and effective communication, people noticed a clear, positive change in her behavior. Women in the neighborhood now come to her house during disputes, and she comforts them by sharing the guidelines taught by her trainer, which helps resolve their issues. One neighbor called her a “shadow of peace and comfort” for the entire street, and she has become a counselor and helper for her community. Within her own home, too, Basreen was going through a very difficult time in her marriage, as frequent fights created tension that led her children to fight with each other. Through the program’s lessons on controlling anger and solving family problems, she changed her habits and learned to handle disagreements with patience, maturity and calm conversation. As she brought love into her relationship, the whole atmosphere changed, the children stopped fighting, and she saved her marriage.
