Shani- Her dream to become an agriculture officer married to her boy friend and having two children age 2 and 1
You already read the dreams of the two participants of the Youth life skill Development Programme conducted by Dambadeniya Development Foundation with the assistance of AJW
We never stop dreaming until our death and start it with an unknown smile when we are infants on the laps of our mothers. Dream leads us to our destinations.
It was a very good discussion we had with 29 males and 25 Females in the age category between 19-23 about their dreams by 2020 and how they could look back through a reverse engineering process to plan their intervention path to make it a reality.
They were able to learn how to look back from 2020 in achieving their dream, the needs, interventions, sacrifices, compromises, diversifications, alternatives, assessment and fulfilling financial requirements during the period through a Fishbone planning process.
Interested parties could get more information and opportunities for participation in future life skill workshops from ddfit@sltnet.lk
