  Team Feedback:
  
  Dream Girl Foundation being my first project, gave me an insight into the consulting world. Working with DGF helped me to not only serve society in a way but also learn important skills like research, managing third problems and party solving real-time problems. I developed a perspective while working in the social space and learned acceptance as a life skill. It also helped me broaden my horizons in terms of social activities and organisational working. A big plus point was that I made a network that is going to last long. While working on the project, I was empowering others, but in hindsight, the process empowered me in inexplicable ways.
