Practicing Gratitude at Asha’s Dr Ambedkar Basti Slum Community

The sweeper of Dr Ambedkar Basti where people from the untouchable caste live, comes to clean our Centre everyday. Yesterday, the warriors and team suddenly said to her that they would be doing all the cleaning while she just relaxed. They said to her that they wanted to express gratitude to her for all her years of service, as well as value her for who she was. At first she was shocked, then became overcome with emotion and began to cry. I tried to place myself in her position and thought about how I would have felt at this gesture, never having experienced something like this in my life. I feel so proud of the team and warriors.
