This activity is good for groups where the participants have a strong oral tradition but may have limited writing skills. Ask each participant to share a saying or a story that gives them strength during difficult times. For example, my grandmother used to say, "There is no perfection on Earth." This helps me when I am critical of myself for having made a mistake. This activity draws on the strengths of the participants, and builds group cohesion by letting each member know that they have something to offer and to share.
