"For me, a woman with back bone, that inspires me on a daily basis, will be none other than my beautiful mother. She has been through a rough patch in her life, where my parents were involved in a terrible vehicle accident in 1997, leaving my dad in coma for 3-4 months. He had to start all over, from scratch. My mom helped him every step of the way - Teaching him how to eat again, how to walk again and how to have a normal conversation again. All this, while raising and bottle feeding 3 children. This is what I call, "n yster vrou" She has an unconditional love towards her family and children and this is shown each day.
Even though life smacked her a few times, she has never shed one tear or questioned her "life conditions" in any way.
She is selflessly, open-hearted and the most caring person I know! She is my mother 🙂
Why I nominated my mother, well, I think she deserves an applause each day, for facing her battles head on. Financially this will help her in so many ways and it will shed some light at the end of the tunnel.
One aspect about my mother that always shines through, is the fact that she keeps on giving. Especially to Children's Homes, where monthly donations is provided by my mother, in the form of cloths, food, toys. Constantly, she feels the need to give love, hope and faith. "Maerua Kinderhuis", here in Windhoek, Namibia is well known to the community. This is my mother's soft spot.
In my eyes, my mother is like Princess Diana - a mother with a heart of gold!

-She is unaware that I nominated her as I would like to surprise her :)"

Her organisation is called the I. C. A. R E organisation.

The Organisation launched a project last year to help eradicate teenage pregnancy and high percentage of drop outs in South Africa. This is done by talks in different villages and underpriviled areas but we have come to realise that many of these kids are going through the same thing or even worse. The project that the organisation has underway is called the underwear campaign and the uniform drive that is aimed at providing for the need of school uniform, underwear, toiletry and sanitary pads and also to encourage the youth and children to respect their bodies and report any abuse or violation to their bodies, in this campaign,The organisation encourage young girls to refrain from sexual activity at a young age.

The Organisation collects donation of toiletries and sanitary towels that are given to the kids from the age of 11 years to 18 years and ensure that they have received extra sanitary towel pack to give each student for a mom or sibling at home because it is not good to give a child just a pack yet she still misses class due to periods and the fear of being embarrassed by lack of sanitary towels again after sharing with those at home.
They aim to touch at least 2000 kids for the remaining months and also launch a TV show that is going to tackle issues around the education systems in our country and partnering with companies that are able to support the campaigns.

The two achievements that stands out as a highlight in the work that she does is the "Treat Her Like A Queen Campaign”- giving girls an ortunity to experience life out of the rural area by treating them to a ghalar dinner,gifts and pampering as well for their matric farewel. And the" Rare disease fundraising campain". Which helps young people who are diagnosed with rare diseases get transplants, specialised care from Milpark and sunninghil hospital as well as equipment they need to survive until operation dates."
