One Good Act !

Today I feel very happy and contented. I have known this friend of mine "Kashish" since 2006 when she was working just to make both ends meet and to sustain and survive, was also struggling to get the right reference to manage a choiceable job. Coming from a Government Institution, it was very difficult for her to cope up with the current situation. And then she sees a "Ray of Light" knowing me and that we both belong to the same community, speak the same language was like an "Icing on the cake" for her.

Gradually we both got down to working out a suitable resume for suitable position, taking all possible help from Google, professional help from Region of Peel, Indian Rainbow but in vain. Attending co-op program was useless and that too doing voluntary job for 3 months without pay when one has a family is next to impossible. Nothing seemed to work for her. Even referring her in my own organization wasn't fruitful.She ran from "Pillar to Post". She almost broke down, thought to herself "is this why she's here for?" But her children gave her hope and the strength to move on. She was so close to getting a permanent job but came out with no job at all and that made her even more depressed. The level of stress increased which is anyways the main cause of people falling sick in this part of world. Finally she decided to go for temp jobs and then we got hold of " Dixie Bloor Neighborhood" ( Thanks Evelyn) which gave her a boost. The 3 day workshop did wonders for her.

Today she made it to "Walmart" ( which is truly an international company) in Customer Support where she will have direct interface with customers & will gain some more experience and eventually she would know where to go from here. I think this is a new beginning for her & wish her "All the luck"

Thank God that I proved to be a Good Reference for her. At least helping someone who deserved to be helped is immensely satisfying.
