The Lotus Hope Foundation Impact
The Lotus Hope Foundation Mentorship Program has truly changed my life! I see now that though story telling I can help inspire other young women to live a more fulfilling and happier life, without so much fear of failure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I was so inspired by the workshops. They helped me to focus on ME and to stop thinking about other people’s negative comments about me. My world has really changed! Thank you so much MJ and The Lotus Hope Foundation.
I was stuck in the same routine, day in and day out. I wanted more out of life but didnt know where to even start. The Lotus Hope Foundation Mentorship Program helped me identify where I was and helped me to set a path for my future. I’m on my way to achieving my goals. Thank you to my Mentor MJ for your guidance.
Your 1st workshop on ‘Dreams can come true’ made me a believer. No matter what I did, I couldn’t see that I had the ability all along to change my future. Your Mentorship Program helped me with every step to pull myself together and to dream big! I’m on my way to realizing my dreams.
Thank you Lotus Hope!
Your workshop on ‘Creating a Positive Mindset’ was a game changer for me. I never realized that I had the ability all along to change to course of my path in my personal life and in my career. Your Mentorship Program gave me the support I needed to believe in myself and take the first leap to change my future. Thank you!
I walked away from Workshop II inspired to learn more about the world around me and to continue to educate myself. Thank you to Lotus Hope for reminding me that life is a journey that doesn’t need to stop after getting married and having children and a career. I can still do things for me.
Your workshops have inspired me to look after my mental health and my physical health. I needed that reminder. I now know that no one will do this for me, and I need to put ME first. Thank you. You have changed my life!
My 2 daughters( 12 years & 10 years) absolutely loved the “The Confidence Code” Youth Workshop and Mentorship Program. Your presenters really connected with all the young girls, and most importantly gave them a voice. We cant wait for your next workshop! .
The Workshops were a great opportunity to meet like-minded women and to share our stories. I loved the intimate setting of around 50 attendees. I was able to connect and network with almost everyone!
My mother-in-law and I had such an incredible time at your Workshop III. We both left the workshop feeling empowered. She passed away a few days later, but I know that your workshop had a positive impact on her in her last few days.
