MY LIFE STORY

By -



Hi there
I am a 65 year coloured female. I have been on retirement for the last 5 years and still have a lot of get up and go in me. I am married to a wonderful man called Bertram for 41 years. I have three grandsons aged 20,16 and 10 and also a son 31 years of age. my daughter was murdered 9.11.2000 and her children haved been with me since then. So at the age of 55 years I had to start a new family all over again with a baby of 5 weeks old. It has been a tough 10 years but God is good and has carried me all these years. My life is very full at this moment in time I am a volunteer for the last 1 and a half years at an organisation called New Dawn. We provide breakfast for the chidren in Kew Town plus minus 110 children each morning before school so I am out of the house before 7 o clock. and we leave at 8.45 each morning. I normally go to Gym after that. We also I also have a aftercare programme on a Tuesday and Thursday where we have Literacy classes for them which is from 1pm and we leave at 5pm. I also do line dancing on a wednesday morning which I thorougly enjoy that is and have been doing it for a year. I also attend the Pat Kelly Bible College on a Monday night.

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.

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.
