Success Stories
It has been a wonderful experience to attend the series of workshops offered by MIAG's ‘Women's Empowerment Network’, presented by Hirnakshi. The knowledge and information imparted is invaluable and would go a long way in building confidence in women. The content is interesting and captivating and the presentations are excellent. The casual discussion after each segment is superb which keeps the participants engaged and interested. These workshops are a great help in developing healthy bodies and minds. At this juncture with COVID around, it has played a very positive role in uplifting the moods and spirits of the participants and has motivated them to carry on the journey of life with hope. Such kind of social activity, healthy practices and involvement with others and learning new skills of adjustments; is the best way to make best use of one’s time. It is really commendable. All the efforts made by MIAG and the executors are highly appreciated. Hard work and passion is depicted in all the workshops and one has a feeling of elevation after attending each workshop. What a great service! Keep it up!

MIAG is a place for me of learning, teaching and acceptance. The staff are respectful. I have already learnt a great deal from the Women Empowerment Network sessions. After only two classes l am getting confident and acquiring knowledge on Zoom. Another confidence booster was the personality colour test, it makes one accept who we are with pride.
I definitely recommend this program to others. These classes are essential for everyone. It gets us together, its a learning experience and we also get to meet new people. The facilitator is patient, respectful and always follow up with any questions.
Thank you so much.
