Children is my passion and my belief is that all children must be treated equal.  Working with children means educating them and providing them a safe and secure environment. I never new when I started at the age of 17 that children is my love of my life even though I only had 1 child.  I dedicated most of my life to the company that I work for and still doing it at present.  In the past I took most of my work home at night and that means serving burnt offerings to my daughter due to forgetting that I had food cooking on the stove, but it gave me pleasure and I knew what I wanted out of life and what I am busy trying to achieve.  I gained so much experience due to observing and trying it out for myself.  I am a bookkeeper, fundraiser, administrator,

grade R teacher, supervisor and if my cook is absent I must cook food for 120 children.  It gives me great joy in what I am doing and I will keep on doing it until I retire.  I had a food fair on Saturday 27th October 12 and I am busy planning a trip with my grade R's to Hendon Park as their farewell and at the same time I am busy planning a concert with the children.  And at the end of the day I go home fulfilled.

When i started here all i wanted to do was to understand what it meant to be computer literate,well i am not there yet but thanks to the expert facilitators at r labs i am getting there.Looking forward to all the remaining sessions.Thank you R labs.

An amazing co-incidence

On Saturday night at 23:00 myself and Stephanie took my husband to work in Strandfontein. On our way back while driving we saw a stray maltese poodles running on the side of the payment.
It was windy and cold and it was very clear to us that this doggy was unable to see properly. As he was running he went against the payment and then almost fell into a drain.  Lucky the drain had a lid on with thin openings.  Stef stopped the car and said that we need to get this doggy into the car.  Oh my word I thought, this dirty dog.  She picked up the dog and put him onto her lap and started rubbing him.  Lucky it was clean . Immediately the doggy felt relaxed and secured.  We took the dog to the SPCA and phoned the call centre asking if we can book this stray dog in.  They called back and said that a gentle man will open the gate shortly.  When the gentle man came to the gate he looked very familiar and stef also recognised him.  As we went inside we introduced each other and discovered that the gentleman was a underdeacon in our church.  He booked the doggy in and chatted a while and left.
Stef felt relieved and after an exhausting day we went home and to bed. The next day which was Sunday Stef said that she wondered how this doggy was doing and on Monday morning she received a phone call from a lady thanking her dearly for finding her beloved dog.  He was very old and blind, but the wonderful part of this was that this lady also belongs to the same church and she was the sister in law of the gentle man (underdeacon) that booked the doggy in.

my new experiences at r labs

exsperience@RLABS

there is so many things RLABS had teach me threw the year WHAT A GREAT "EXPERIENCE"

my experience@ rlabs

Having a blast @ rlabs, you never to old 2 learn.staff @ rlabs are truly blessed.would recommend anybody old or young to this academy.

Steps to learning at Rlabs

Whenever I find my way to Rlabs it is with a sense of urgency and nostalgia. Urgency because I know that the facilitators and my fellow students are all putting of themselves into the learning process to empower others.
Nostalgia, because of knowing that the facilitators came through a process of learning and adversity and became better people.
The next process would be to empower others where we would be able to facilitate others.
This journey was exciting and mind-boggling because you get to know your fellow colleagues, their dreams, fears and challenges that they overcame.
Wish all succeed and that it would be an continuous, happy, social media journey.

Privilege

So glad that I have sign up at RLABS for the Social Media class, I've learned quite a lot.The grandchildren is so glad that I can send a e-mail on my own.

rlabs classes

Feeling good

Today is suppose to be a very special day, but my gosh spending more time at work, and organizing the food fair for Saturday, it really slipped my mind. Thanks to my precise daughter for remembering and thinking that I kept it away from her.  Well, the most important thing for me is that I am feeling good, active and full of spirit although my husband forgot.  I always make sure to put God first and other things last.  I always strive to be an honest, loyal and helpful person.
Working with children gives me great joy and I always make sure that they have a  happy environment.

Today's a new day

Today's a New Day

Today is my new day. A day where mercies are new and where God's faithfulness to me has become more real than ever before. So many times when we in a situation, we forget who God is and why He is, because we concentrate on how deep we are in our situations. We ask God so many questions when we should be praising Him through our circumstance. Why do we complain if God says He will take us through the storm, when He is Jehovah Jireh, our provider, when He says I Am. Trust and believe and it will be so.

I'm overwhelmed and feel so blessed knowing God still proved Himself  faithful. He is the alpha and omega, He knows the beginning from the end. And because He knew my beginning, He knows my end. 

I celebrated my 67th birthday recently and so everyday that survive I will seize and utilize with all I have to give for as long as possible by the grace of God and the added encouragement by those around me.

life is very fast

Life is very fast, if you don't keep up, life will go past you and you will stay behind.  When you see how the children operates the cellphones, computers and they are able to teach you as an adult. It is amazing!
You become so much dependent on you children's knowledge and abilities.

The world upside down

Hi my brothers,

Tell me how a man can love God who does not see but seek to destroy his brother was creating the image of God he claims to love?
