"I also learned a lot from community visits. Each of the people we visit has a different story. We learn from their experiences and, at the same time, they benefit from our knowledge of psychological coping skills. Also, my own behavior has changed a lot since I started working as a Harikara. Now, I am able to relax and calm myself when I am angry or in a bad mood through the exercises the FYF protection team showed us. I like this job a lot because I am able to help my community, friends, and family. It makes me very happy."
