Family Support Testimonies
A 14 year-old’s Testimony
“Do you get stressed, especially when your stats is coming up. Well I did, I was suffering for help so I realise there’s only one person that can help me Vien from the nia project
Natasha helped me out as well. It really help my stress down because I came and did the yoga it really makes you feel so good and relax but the most relax part is meditation, oh it was great. If you don't know how to meditate well now you do first you get a candle holder put some water on top burn the candle under the holder put some few drops like 3 or 4oils drops of oil that will make you relax and sleepy that will be good for bedtime and the Rose oil makes you concentrate more especially during studying. Then burn a lot of candleholders like a circle and you in the middle, cross oh yeah remember to turn the light of, cross your legs put your hands on your knee close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing or imagine you in a wonderland and leave all the bad things everything behind you and relax if you go to yoga they teach you some routine for meditation you should really try it is so good and so relaxing. Was scared that I might fail and didn't study well and one of the members of the nia project help me and that is Vein, she got me a table, on the table has Monday to Sunday and time 9:00am to 10:30pm and I have to fill in the gap saying what time to study what time to eat/break it was good it really help me on my studying some of the work I don't understand so Natasha from the nia project help me out it was great I felt so much better. Fact: did you know that if you eat fish and drink organic milk is really good for you especially your brain is quicker to remember because your brain works faster you should do that when you have your stats it really work. You should eat fish and drink organic milk on the week you study and on the day you have stats or you could have it for breakfast(I know it might sound disgusting just imagine its lunchtime)and on the day of my stats when I came in the room sitting on my own table with the stats paper on the table my heart beated so fast , I was sweating, so scared but I took a deep breathe and follow the routine how they Taught me in the yoga and it worked And I wasn't scared anymore I just went for it after I was proud of my self I thought I done well. When I got the result back from English, science and maths I found out I did really well especially in English. So if you are scared to ask for help well don't just go for it ask who you think can help you like me and it worked so if you need any help just ask simple.”
Parent Testimony

“We had a very good 12 weeks. I would like to say thank you to those who organised this program. I wish more similar courses or the same courses are organised frequently and
increased. It must give you wonderful feeling in organising courses in Turkish for those who do cannot speak English and those who are having cultural conflict and helping and enlighten them.
I personally, learned many things. I would like to join the forthcoming different events. Emine, you are very nice and sweet person, I am very happy to meet you. Thank you very much, I hope to see you again.”
