And it's been a very great experience, and I feel extremely fortunate to be here because every morning when I, you know, wake up, I just feel like jumping out of the bed and going to class and learning all the delicious new recipes that we're going to make.

The instructors, I feel, They support me to fulfill my dreams. And after this course, after taking this course, I feel confident that when I go back to India, I can convert easily, you know, the basic staple foods into raw cuisines and empower people to be healthier versions of themselves. And I didn't have this confidence before I came here. So I feel very blessed to be a part of Living Light, to be a part of this community.
