Character Solutions in India

In April 2008, Indian community leaders requested CSI training for youth and adults across the country, a three-year project. This prompted the translation of Character Solution International curriculum into fourteen Indian languages to be used and distributed at seminars. The expected outcome of this project is one million leaders trained and challenged to cultivate character and to build healing relationships within communities.

"Cultivating Character book is one of the great resources for anyone who is willing to live a life with a right direction and purpose...character is always an issue in everyone's life. Very often people do not have a proper compass that guides them to develop such qualities in life, and hence have disastrous results. I would like to impart the same in the community where I live." (Seminar participant)

"This is very much to change the life style and attititude of people. It challanges them to positive thinking and to care for others. I believe this training will touch many lives because I myself have been blessed by examining my own life. Before I teach others I need to implement these virtues in my own life." (Seminar participant)
