The
magic of Collective Action
 |
In
a similar move , the group members reconciled an estranged couple,
belonging to the group. The woman was so badly affected that she
threatened to commit suicide. But through mutual dialogue separately
with the husband and the woman, the issue was amicably settled and
both were reunited. Later, the husband and wife team even received a
prize from the group for growing the best-gooseberry tree in their
village as a token of appreciation.

Couples
do get carried away
On matters very silly,
And keep clinging to their ends
Silly willy,
Not understanding the true repercussions:
|
|
At
times like these,
We need messengers of peace;
It was apt for SHGs to act as cushions:
|
Mediating
with great care,
They spoke separately to the grieved,
Painstaking yet a great share,
Reunited and finally relieved
To understand their own mistakes,
To forget their own small deeds,
Forgiving- a trait better to inculcate,
Better late then never - in deeds |
