Women committed to making a difference

Saturday 14 July 2007, 9.30pm

Worked the whole day cutting material to assist the group of women who are making conference bags for the Hillcrest Aids Centre.

I could see that they were really tired, but their dedication to achieving and to become something was so obvious that it made me so proud to be associated with them.

It will for eternity uplift me when I work with these women, most of these women live in shacks in the informal settlement, they always have a smile on their faces, always signing, always ready to go the extra mile and always willing to work and trust their fellow human beings.

The western world could learn so much from understanding this fellowship, learning that everything is never just black and white, and that every person is part of something bigger. That is what I am learning by working out in the township on a daily basis.

To the women I am proud to be able to work with, I say thank you so much.
