BEZDOMNE KOTKI SZUKAJĄ DOMU Urocze kotki (2 dziewczynki i 4 chłopaków, ok. 8 tygodni, + ich mama ok. 2 lata) szukają domu/domów. Maluchy spędziły pierwsze tygodnie swojego życia w ciemnej i zimnej, nowo budowanej hali przemysłowej. Kotki są zdrowe, bardzo socjalne, czyste i odrobaczone, korzystają z kuwety; mają też swoje książeczki zdrowia. Są dobrze wychowane, ciekawe świata i radosne.

Stress Management Workshops to teenage girls drive by dr Veechi Shahi

The future of the world lies in the hands that are tender today; it is both a power and a responsibility to guide them into moulding a fine tomorrow.

dr Veechi Shahi offers exclusive Stress Management Workshops to teenage girls and young women (over 13 years old), who are in educational institutions like schools and colleges, where competition, insecurities, making career choices, personality development, and high-energies need to be channelled. This workshop steps in to make a difference and help students shape a meaningful tomorrow.

Hone the inner power of an energetic generation from the uncertainty of a career ahead to intertwining of personal relationships among friends, from being guided by a good teacher to being misled by peer pressure, a college-goer has a lot to contend with. There is a highly-increased exposure to information, media and opportunities leading to deeper stress levels and overloading. Together this may put the college-goer in the middle of a storm that she may not be able to decipher. Veechi Shahi resonates with the youth and steps in to help students manage stress in college, and blossom into confident individuals: using a unique program - 'From Confusion to Clarity'. These beacons of tomorrow emerge as fulfilled people, who can balance their work with their personal life, and go on to become leaders in life. The workshops offer the following benefits to college-goers:

• Positive approach towards life • Self-love and self-awareness • Recognising strength and potential • Grooming and personality development • Decision-making Confidence in standing out amidst competition

• Street-smartness • Attuned to the future • Emotionally-balanced and motivated • Strong relationships with self and others
