Mohit Takes Off..!

I was elated to receive a text message from Dr. Mahapatra from IHS, which said:

“Did Mohit Jaiswal tell you he got a job due to his confidence in the National Conference? First Success Story you need to celebrate”.

Yes, we need to celebrate! Just goes to show that meeting and sharing can do wonders. I am sure each one of us who participated has a story to tell post the event. While some of us revived the SHGs in our respective towns and attended in big numbers, some started blogging about their experiences. Sumeet shared about being associated with an NGO, and Pawas is spreading awareness on stammering in the HR world. And now, we have the first success story from Mohit Jaiswal – a young and candid NIT student from Kharagpur. First of many more to come...   

Keep sharing your experiences after the National Conference, and as we do it, let us all wish Mohit all the very best for his first job and all his future endeavours. Hearty Congratulations to Mohit from TISA!

Mr Manimaran has suggested following topics; if you have something in your mind, which is not covered by the current agenda, please leave it in comments with your name and email ID:

Additional topics to be considered:

1. Why relapse of stammering in a few months after attending speech therapy?.

2. The connection between thinking & breathing?.

Best,

Bidding ends!!

Dear all,

Due to the lack of enthusiasm in all of us for organising the first National Meet, we have accepted the bid of IHS( http://www.ihsindia.org/ ) at Bhubaneshwar. No, actually, we approached them and they kindly agreed to our request! This sets all of us free to concentrate on participating, rather than worrying about organizing everything. So, let us take advantage and start blocking the last week of December 2011 for this Maha-Kumbh mela..
Please keep checking this space for more details. I hope all of us will be there to make this event a grand success and to prove for once to the society that yes, stammering is a BIG ISSUE and NO JOKE!!

Best,
TISA

National Meet!!

Dear all,

NSA is having their 28th National Conference this July
(http://www.westutter.org/opencms/export/sites/default/nsa/pdfs/2011_Conference_\
Program.pdf).

So, how about an all India Meet this Christmas. Do you think we can have a four
day meet at some suitable location in India? It will be an awesome experience,
thats for sure!

Looking forward to your comments (We are already lagging behind by 28 years ;-)

Thanks,
JP
