My life started all over again. I dropped out of school when i was grade 8.I never really had a chance to complete school due to circumstances .I could not get a proper job because i did not have skills. So one day i was sitting at home and i ask myself is this the life you want for your children? Surely not, i needed to do something about it. I needed to get out there and get my self educated.So i did a office admin course, and same time i heard about Young People@Work.I went to one of their workshops and there i decided to become a volunteer.My live changed. I was never the same person.I actually discover who i am and what i wanted in life.With Young People@Work i went through different stages of training,attended every workshop they where having .I just became more hunger to gain knowledge Then came the day i was one of the volunteers who had the chance to go to R Labs .

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
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.
