Why C.R.Y.?

I joined CRY in September 2002 after waiting for 4 months at home for a job that would allow me to do workshops with children. Got news about the vacancy from a batch mate who had done her internship in YW, CRY that same year.

Had just finished my masters in human development (earlier called child development) and I had so much fun at the interview with CRY that I knew I had the job!!

Since then I discovered more and more each year that every life experience I’ve had in my own childhood and youth was to prepare me for doing what I do at CRY. I’ve discovered one of my key life purposes within and through CRY- to enable children to know and stand up for their own rights.

That’s what keeps me here and keeps me going- knowing that I’m fulfilling my life’s purpose, my calling and more so through an organization that is willing to go the whole mile with this goal.

To me, the movement for child rights is very real, very personal and relevant for my whole life. It’s always worth fighting for- within CRY, outside CRY and even within me.
