our senior club

By -
Today we had a great day with all our seniors. I did the arts and crafts with them which was very exciting because they all created their item in different ways. Our senior moms and dads, they haven't done anything like this in their whole life, were like little children all over again, creating things.and when they saw how it was taking shape, they got so caught up in the project that they did't even want to take a tea break.

Jemima had a debriefing session with some of the seniors, and each session they did was like a whole new refreshing experience for them. Our moms and dads have lots of things that is taking place in their lives which they don't want to talk about, and these sessions are just one of the ways in which they release some of the tension they are experiencing .

Jemima will be carrying on with these sessions until all the seniors has gone through this programme. I know that what she is doing, is going to change their lives one way or another

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.
