Practice and win.

By -


I had a very busy week at the Impact centre and so did the rest of the volunteers and staff. Everyone is so dedicated and passionate about their calling.
It is so encouraging to see people's lives being changed. The one moment you see them coming in with no hope the next you see them smiling. I am part of the seniors citizens group, I do the health talks, motivational talks and the pampering. Beryl does the arts and crafts and pampering, Gloria does the sports, excises and pampering. Then we have Rae, Natasha, Yolanda, Sharon and Juanita on the pampering team.
We are having our Golden sports day on 28 May where 30 of our seniors will partake in different events. They are very active and are always on time for their practice sessions. Precautions are set in place regarding their health.So come Thursday they will be wearing their Impact t-shirts and tracksuits.

My RLabs Mom's Journey

Hi all, I am Salma Richards,a parent with 3 adult children. I am told I am a chatterbox,empathetic and determined{just a bit slower}. My interests are reading,gardening,home crafts and the outdoors.It took an accident that happened 16 years ago to make me realize that the choices we make will determine the quality of life we will lead.It was, and is a long, hard road to get to where I am today. Imagine,having to learn to write,walk,remember,eat,cook,dress and just about everything we teach a toddler to do, well it took me 16 long,trying and very difficult years to become the person I am today! I have now realized it's my Creators mercy at giving me a real second chance at life .I now try not to offend  people and also to be more tolerant because my family and friends had the patience to guide and teach me simple things that you would take for granted.Thank you once again to RLabs facilitators and all who in the past and present taught,helped and guided me.MWAH.

Good afternoon world on a lighter note,on wednesday we took our seniors around the peninsula.Our first stop was Sea Point opposite the SABC offices. Where our seniors enjoyed a snack.thereafter we went to Hout Bay where they stretched a bit.Some of our seniors interacted with the coons.Our aunty Ellen,Vicky Jonck and Freda Davids enjoyed dancing with the coons.We then went back to Maidens Cove where we served them lunch.After lunch we served them fruit and some doughnuts and juice.We then boarded the busses at 3.05 and was taken on the beach road for some more sightseeing.when we got back to the centre,our seniors were all handed a gift before they went to their respective homes.What an awesome experience.
