Hardships can lead to unexpected blessings, as demonstrated by 19-year-old Sohana Sital Chand. Despite facing difficulties and growing up in a broken family, she found hope and opportunity at Homes of Hope, an organization that offers support to young mothers and their children.
Recently, Ms. Chand achieved a significant milestone by graduating with a Certificate 3 in Tourism Hospitality from ServicePro International Tourism Hospitality Institute in Nasinu. She emphasized the empowering role of women and how her education has enhanced her skills in both personal and professional settings.
Her journey at Homes of Hope provided her with a second chance at life. In 2020, she was granted sponsorship to pursue her studies in the tourism and hospitality sector. Ms. Chand believes in continuous self-improvement and embraced the educational opportunity that came her way, viewing it as a blessing.
Balancing household responsibilities with her studies was a significant challenge for her. After completing her chores, she had to remain focused during her classes, and her busy schedule often required her to stay up late to finish assignments.
With her educational journey now behind her, Ms. Chand is optimistic about the future. She encourages those facing hardships to prioritize happiness and authenticity over the pursuit of others’ approval. Life is too brief to worry excessively; being true to oneself is the key to contentment.
