If I could sum up 2018 in a few words I would say it was a year full of important lessons to be learnt, a few challenges and most importantly, fun! I feel I have grown the most in this year and I’ve been able to successfully overcome many obstacles. The biggest change of 2018 for me was entering the work phase. I joined my first job, I have made new friends and have met people from all stages and phases of life. Overall, 2018 has been a great year!

Programmes Coordinator
In a nutshell, 2018 was life-changing. I graduated and got my first job, right here at Wishes and Blessings. Working at Wishes and Blessings has exposed me to so many new experiences, and some of these experiences would only have been possible through this organization. I met ammas abandoned by their loved ones now happily staying at Mann ka Tilak and street children at the W&B shelter homes. The highlight of the year came towards the end of the year when I experienced my first Birthday Manao. To celebrate birthdays with visually impaired children is something I still cannot put into words. I have grown personally and have found more confidence in myself and my work. I am very excited to see what 2019 has in store for me!

Harpreet Singh
Graphic Designer
In March I joined Wishes and Blessings and this was my first step towards social service. Working with the WB family has been an amazing experience… ups and downs, fights, arguments, fun, food and team outing etc. I think my most favourite moment was the Charity Pop-up. The mad rush was really a memorable moment.
The best coincidence was that the first Wishes and Blessings retreat at Manesar was held on my birthday!
Each day is a new day at work and I learn something new every day.

Event Manager
Smiles and laughter,
Beliefs and despair.
Lots of dreams,
Some came true, some still await.
Showered with love,
Soaked with blessings.
Hope the coming year is also as pretty as the one that just left!

Mohd Junaid
Project Officer
In 2018, I started a new job. Working in a new organization with a new team has been a brilliant experience! I think the biggest lesson I have learnt this year is that it’s important to be in touch with yourself on an emotional level. Each interaction and experience you have sparks different feelings and it is important to be aware of these.
