Voices From Our Community
Hear from parents, teachers, and students whose lives have been touched by Light Lives
Before LightLives classes, I had some negative habits, but after attending the classes, I've noticed a positive change in myself. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow with LightLives.

Before joining, I struggled with self-expression and confidence. However, through the program, I've learned valuable lessons about personal responsibility, gratitude, and public speaking. Our teacher's polite and patient guidance helped me overcome my fears. Now, I feel confident speaking in front of others and expressing myself clearly. Thank you to the LightLives teacher and class for this wonderful opportunity.

Before attending LightLives class, I used to always tell lies. But, after attending LightLives classes, I got the mindset to speak the truth. Moreover, before attending LightLives classes ,I was weak in studies and scored less marks. But after attending LightLives classes, I am interested in studies; I have started scoring good marks. For example, earlier I got 5.5/30 in Science but after attending LightLives classes I got 22/30 for Science.

Before attending LightLives classes, I never used to respect women and elders. After attending LightLives classes, I have started giving respect to women and behave well with my teachers. I have improved in my academics also.

Light Lives is extremely useful and enriching to our students. They are very involved in every section and eagerly looking for the next section. The instructors especially Jacquline Antony are very much committed, and patient enough to deal with different types of students. They instil in them the fundamental values, arousing in them a sense of behaving proactively in their daily interactions with others. Thank you so much for designing such a wonderful programme.

My teacher Jacquline helped me to face the audience without fear, also how to behave in class and have good manners. It is very good because it makes the students speak English. Now we are ready to speak English.
