Geeky Moms

Yesterday the electricity was of in Bridgetown, so the Rlabs team had to improvise in keeping all the students occupied. They've decided that we should go into the community and interview some of the people in the street , as well as taking photographs of the area. The first site we spotted was a no dumping site, but on it was so much rubbish, its like people just ignore the sign board that has been put up and it is so visible to see. This dumping site is opposite a primary school, and next to the impact centre. My first interview was with a 10yr old, whom to my surprise gave out so much personal information about himself. It just shows that we can teach our children not to talk to strangers and inform them about all the danger in our society, but still they're so vulnerable and easily lured into so many dangerous things. My second interview was with with a 16yr old, who also gave me information about the struggle's of the youth in Bridgetown...

It was great reading through some of the ladies blogs and discover that the people of my generation and even the generation that is around way before me, has been going through the same kind of challenges, but all is not always lost if we take hold of opportunities and make the most of it. As I read through the ladies blogs I discover that we have been held back terribly by lives blows, we had to give our studies up and sometimes put our lives on hold because of circumstances . Today we have the opportunity to turn all of this around and wow wee are we!Yes we are the ladies here are matriculating and others are getting the education that was never granted them. They were very busy doing reviews and they also learned how to google information on their cell phones they successfully loaded some pictures to their blogs concerning their gadget they had to review. Well done class keep up the good work!!!

I would like to thank Rlabs for this opportunity for me becoming technology wise.It makes me feel good at what I'm doing.On a Saturday morning I get up very excitedly knowing it is class. The very class I mention is Rlabs. There we women become technology equipped. There they render a service to the community ,sacrifice there time for us as women.From as early as 730.am 1.pm.All because they really love what they do,for others.On a day was confronted by the owner when am I going to join up with the ladies, and my reply was it's not for me.I have three children,all are technology wish and I did not fit in with them.So yes I could not have a conversation with them. I gave it a thought and months later joined up.To this day I am very proud of myself to say it myself. My daughter is my facilitator ,of which I am very proud of.I am now in my second semester,and yes completely chirpy about it ,and now can relate to my children and my husband of many years in this trade.At times I gi...

Had an amazing week. Doing corporate catering for a well known NGO. Its tiring but I love doing what I do best. Thank you Father for my gift.

I find it exiting to learn new things every week. Taking my own pic was great, but i think we should have been warned so that we could have had the time to go for a quick make over. Nevertheless taking the pics without any makeover just reminded me of how far i got in life. It made me appreciate the things that i have more. It just encourages me more to go head on in life. My plan is to enjoy the ride.

I just went through a tough time the past two weeks and i can truly say in my moment and time for each day God gave me a scripture just to tell me He knows about me and that I'm not alone so if you should go through something never think that you are alone

It has been quite a week. I woke up on Monday morning and went to the bathroom, only to find water running down the tiles from the ceiling. I woke my husband up and after investigating, found that the hot water cylinder was busted. Fortunately we could shower in the boys section. We had to wait a couple of days to have the plumber sort out the problem But thank God no problem is to big to be solved. I'm showered and smelling good.

So, this is my first time blogging (i.e. being the author, I mean). I've always viewed, read and commented on several other blogs and am very excited to be writing my own. I've always looked forward to doing this - one of my reasons for enrolling in this course. I'm hoping my experience would be an interesting read. I am a "new" mother of an 18month old son, named Matthew, and I never imagined my life would change so dramatically, from the moment he was born, I thought of what's best for him, whether he's comfortable and safe, warm when it's cold, cool when it's hot and that he has healthy snacks to eat. Now I know what it means when my mom said you always think of yourself last when you become a mom. But there is a different view that I'm very conscious of and that is that I need to look after myself first because if I am healthy and balanced my husband and my son will benefit. Becoming a new mom has taught me the importance of looki...

For years it was a dream of me to further my education.Every time i looked at doing it,I looked at all the well known institutions,but the cost was like a Table Mountain:huge,fearfull(by the way i've got a massive fear of height)So i kept on dreaming for twenty odd years,but never really did anything about it. I believe that my GOD has a huge sense of humour.I also believe that for years he's been trying to guide me,show me in the right direction,but yaah me,will first do my own thing before i listen with an open mind to any suggestions,or thoughts that pop up in my mind.So i had to learn the hard way.Round about a year ago all hell broke loose:i lost my job(under educated),found a job but was underemployed, underpaid, etc.To cut a long story short, i was forced to look within my community to fullfill my dream. So here i am a year later: in a computer class, got a matric certificate- everything was done in my community, and the beauty of it all, that whatever i want t...

i spent the week away from home. feel rested and refreshed. enjoy classes on Saturdays. very informative. need lots of learning. attended funeral service of ma Morgan today.

This has been a tough week for me and my fam but we made it through with Allah`s grace. I listen to the ladies in the class you think your problems are big but there are people with bigger problems than mine. It sadden me to listen to listen to the some of the other ladies but once again Allah is good.

Today was quite interesting, learned all about blogging. Something different and new to me. I enjoy attending class each week. Good to see all the ladies and to know we all made it thus far. Ladies, let's embrace our uniqueness, be true to yourselves and be overcomers. A special quote for all today,"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses." The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate -for the good and the bad. Be not mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends, author Colin Powell.
