Miss Emira

Dear friend, I’m writing you this letter in the first place to greet you affectionately hoping you are doing well together with Minga Peru’s team; I always pray to God so you all will be enlighten in your work, friend Emira. I want to tell you that one friend told me what was going on with her husband that has another partner, she has just find out that and does not want to have relations with her husband, but he forces her, and, what does he does? He is forcing and beating her. She is afraid she will get any disease but I told her to denounce him because no one has the right to do this if we don’t want. My friend went to the town to denounce him, I advise her that because I shouldn’t keep for me what I learn in the workshops, instead I have to teach others so they can defend their rights.

 Hi friends, I hope you are doing well together with Minga Peru team. This is to tell you that in my community I was a woman that liked gossiping; I was a bad mother with my children. I was a woman with a low self esteem, I didn’t know my rights as a woman, I didn’t understand my children nor my husband. My husband had other women; I didn’t know what to do. I thought that my husband was like this because  I wasn’t a worthy woman and I felt a low self esteem. But one day Yoly and Richard came for a MInga Peru’s meeting and my community chose me as their representative and I accepted and I went to the workshops to receive training. All what I learn there now I talk it with my partner and together we understand many things and take into account how worthy theses things are. Now he understands me and helps me in everything. And I have more patience with my children, I give them love.  Now my family is happier. We understand better each other and don’t pay attention to gossips with other women that like gossiping. Now I realize that I am appreciated by the people in my community because I share my ideas with them.

My dear friend, after a long time that you were absent, I hope you are ok with your work mates from Welcome Health Radio Program. We are very proud because we listen to the program Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays because it gives us a lot of learning. One big hug for all the people working at the radio.

Friend Maria, after saying hello I want to tell you about the following activities. In the past I was very machista, I used to hit my woman but as my wife learnt in the workshops I realized my mistakes. Now it is not like that we are happy and I thank all Minga Peru’s team, in the past I didn’t want to wash the cloths, now I do it together with my wife.

I have nothing else to tell you, regards to all people that work in the program Welcome Health.
