My first journalism experience

By -
I really enjoyed walking the streets of Bridgetown speaking to people of the community.The first person I approached was a teenager who was very friendly and outspoken.Her name is Ashleigh she was on her way home from the shop where she purchased washing powder to do the laundry.The electricity at home was off and she had to do it at a friends home.To her it did'nt seem a big deal that the electricity was off but at the same time we spoke about Rlabs and also told her about our youth programme on a friday at the impact centre.We asked her what the youth are up to and it was sad to hear that our youth everywhere are busy with drugs&alcohol. It really came as a surprise to me that people from the community have never heard of Rlabs.Some people was very reluctant to speak but once i started speaking about social media suddenly there was a great interest.All the areas in Brigdetown was'nt affected by the power cut so most of the people i spoke to heard about Rlabs and they were very chuffed to hear the classes are free.I thank the Rlabs team for there innovation and creativity you guys ROCK!....

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.

SENIORS OUTING

By -
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.
