Sutherland vat kleur kop toe ...

'n Propvol en besige dag het die Sutherland-dames se daaglikse roetine uitgedaag. Hulle het hierdie Vrydag weereens bewus geword van die feit dat 'n mens na jou gesondheid moet kyk. Die roekelose omgang en nalatigheid t.o.v. jou gesondheid, het 'n manier om jou op jou oudag in te haal.

A letter to the parents before the exams ...

Teacher day ...

The lawyer hopes you get into trouble,
the doctor hopes you fall sick,
the police hopes you become a criminal,
the coffin maker wants you dead,
only the TEACHER wishes to educate you
and liberate you from the bondage of ignorance.
Please hug the next teacher by your side,
he/she is one of your true friends.

[Thank you, Holang, for sharing this with us.]

The kind of plant you choose to be ...

If mankind was given the opportunity to choose whether to become a rose or a cactus, the majority would choose to become a rose because of its appearance and fragrance. The few that would choose to become a cactus would probably be because a cactus is native to their home land and not because of its appearance

Yes, a rose may be beautiful on the outside, but is it beautiful on the inside? Can it survive under tough conditions? Or even better, can it save your life if the two of you were the last things left on earth?" The answer to all of those questions is a big NO! The same questions were asked about a cactus, and the response was positive. Truth is, a cactus can withstand extremely hot and bitterly cold temperatures. It can survive for months in the desert without water. And yes it can save your life, because its inside has been used by past generations and it is still being used as medicine and an effective disinfectant of wounds.

So once again mankind is proven to judge a book by its cover, and making decisions based on the appearance of things, not realising that such decisions may not benefit them in the near/far future.

The kind of plant you choose to be, you shall possess its qualities, both outer and inner ones. So it's up to you, a beautiful appearance with bad qualities or an unappealing look with inner beauty and strength? Don't be a typical human being, make a wise decision.

Your life may as well depend on it.

A Strong Woman ...

She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens.
She smiles when she feels like screaming,
and she sings when she feels like crying.
She cries when she's happy
and laughs when she's afraid.
Her love is unconditional.
There's only one thing wrong with her.
She forgets what she's worth!
Happy woman's day!

How can we change the world?

A magnet for miracles ...

Remember - you are important ...

You and your child ...

Park run word padloop in Gariep

Foto's: Christelle Hattingh

Die kinders van Gariep is aktief besig om deur hulle vakansieprogram te werk. Stap was vandag op hulle program. En dit het hulle sommer met oorgawe gedoen. Buiten die feit dat hulle 'n bietjie oefeninge doen en ook energie verbrand, het hulle vandag 'n stapmaat gehad, by name me. Christelle Hattingh. Dit het die stap sommer dubbel so lekker gemaak, want stories en grappies word deel van elke tree.

Gariep-woongebied is 60 km van Groblershoop af op pad na Upington.

Die 2,8m-trek in die rigting van Upington ...

Christelle Hattingh het hierdie week die pad gevat met 'n klomp noodsaaklikhede wat sy op 'n bakkie en 'n 2,8m-sleepwa gelaai het. Laaier, bestuurder, koerier en maatskaplike werkster - 'n-alles-in-een-mens. Stopplekke langs die pad was Gariep, Groblershoop en Keimoes. Die dae is te kort en die hande te min om orals uit te kom.

Ons het almal 'n bietjie koestering nodig!

Lees: 'n heerlike vakansie-aktiwiteit
