This course of the highest calibre enhanced the depth and breadth of my knowledge which has furthered my ability and confidence in promoting international mental health and human rights. The great source of material was valuable, as was the unique knowledge of the faculty. The feedback I received from the teaching faculty was very insightful. I cannot thank them enough for taking time to comment extensively on my work. The course made me enhance my analytical skills and made me realize that I can always do more than I thought I could to help those who can’t help themselves. I identified my strengths and weaknesses as a lawyer and learned how to provide legal advocacy. I explored how NGOs in the area can shape their work to best capture developments in human rights and how powerful can the ‘’silent yowl’’ of service users be. I’ve met some of the most inspiring teachers, fellow students and best friends I’ve ever had. There is a big distinction between my life pre and post Pune, both professionally and personally. Thank you for this priceless experience.
