My wife and I were contacted by a friend about Circles. We decided that it would be something that we could commit our time too so we started Ally training. Little did I know what a significant impact it would have on my life. I had major assumptions around why people are poor. Boy was I wrong.
I was assigned a Circle Leader (family moving out of poverty to work with for 18 months. I met with my Circle Leader most every week, and we have now become good friends. I had to confront the assumptions that I had around poverty and it changed my life. I now look at everyone I meet with new respect and as an equal. I am not better only my circumstances are different.
Circles is capable of transforming ourselves and our communities to make them a better place for all.
