Something to smile about

Yesterday I was at a meeting in Pietermaritzberg where the topic for discussion was "Supporting the Elderly Caregiver." Unbeknown to me a former LETCEE student (who graduated at the end of 2009) would be sharing about how she was working with and empowering Gogo's in her community. She explained that the creche's do not have toys and so she took it upon herself to show the Gogo's of the children in the creche how to make toys from waste. She had learnt this skill whilst studying at LETCEE. She also shared how the Gogo's have taught other Gogo's in the community as well as practitioners at other creches. It made me smile as I began to realize that we often do not even begin to understand the impact of what we do!
