Ever had a job

weren’t allowed to

That’s Parenting!

Hello..
Compliments of the year, well not so much
of the New Year anymore J. Its been a
while since I’ve written this news letter
and so I have a lot to share, there’s been
so much happening on the back ground,
so seat back and lets get started.
Last year we took a Leap and held three
successful Boot Camps, moving away from
one-day sessions that we used to have
from 2015, it has really helped the girls to
benefit even more from the program. I
want to Thank all the Parents for
supporting the She-is-Me program and
releasing your daughters to our care.
A big Thank you to Ngomo Lodge
and the staff for accommodating
the girls and catering for their
needs.
A special Thank you to the She-is-
Me Facilitators/Partners who
came through to the camps to
facilitate on certain topics, you
have added value to the She-is-Me
programs, Thanking you ever so
much for your time and
contribution towards the success
of She is Me.

Thank you Gugu Nkosi and Chris Msibi,

Thank you to Shirley Nkosi for being the
key person in making sure that she
liaises with the parents and gather
together the girls from different
locations.

I also want to thank Our Sponsors for last
Year's boot Camp, It is true that it takes a
community to raise a child....we are truly
grateful. Lastly I want to thank the junior
mentors for their participation and the
dedication that they’ve shown.... it has
been nothing less than what it really
means to model womanity, which is what
She is Me is all about.

She’s a best friend who’ll always be
there for you.
She has fought a thousand battles but
is still standing.
She has cried a thousand tears and is
2
still smiling.. She has been broken,
betrayed, abandoned, rejected but
still walks tall. She carries her
burdens with such ease. It’s only
when you look into her eyes that you
will see them beneath. She wears her
heart on her sleeve everyday of her
life. She is a phenomenal woman..

She is a
Mother, a
Sister, a
Daughter..
You may shoot
her with your
words, You may
cut her with your
eyes, You may
kill her with your
hatefulness but
still she’ll rise
Take heed of her
love, her caring
side for if you
don’t you might
lose sight.
She is a
phenomenal
Woman
She is a women
of Proverbs 31
And She is
inside of all of
us, She is the
woman in Me.

Parents…
How are you doing?
Lets talk
(continued)
So....Parents how are you
doing? Its a genuine
question..., How are you
doing?
I’ve recently asked my 16
year old daughter the
question, “daughter how
am I doing as your mom?”
as you can imagine, it was
an unexpected question but
it didn’t take her very long
to say what she thought and
one of the things that she
said, made me think long
and hard.., “Mommy you
stress a lot”.., pounding on
this question, I wondered
how many other parents
stress unnecessarily. The
biggest part of our stresses
are around our daughters
Safety, our daughters being
protected from bad influence that
could lead to undesirable
behaviors, so much that we often
don’t take note of how well we
have taught them and I am
assuming here that to a certain
extent we’ve all done that and
now is the time to reap the
benefits of our labor.
Trust allows independence that
is crucial for our daughter’s
development.
If we are to really have a healthy
relationship with our daughters
we got to trust them and be open
to tell them about our fears, rather
than being unreasonable. We got
to show the human side of
ourselves.

Hopefully this can be the beginning
of finding a common ground for all
sorts of conversations that can
potentially lead to a more healthy
relationship, trust allows
independence that is crucial for our
daughters development. ‘The
extension of ourselves is involved in
listening to our children, to respond
to their healthy needs, we must
change ourselves, only when we are
willing to undergo the suffering of
such changing can we become the
parents our children needs us to
be.’

2017 Awards
Last year we had our very first She Is Me Awards Ceremony at Ngomo Lodge. The main purpose was to
encourage and acknowledge the girls who have participated and have been involved throughout the camps.
It was a special time to honor the girls who have been with She is Me from the very first session we had back
in 2015. Some girls got attendance certificates and others got awards, it was indeed a wonderful time and we
thank the parents who came to support the girls, it was indeed a memorable occasion. We reward good
behavior, in developing character for we believe there’s future in our girls.
There are a number of new girls coming through to the She is Me boot camp for the very first time this year
and we look forward to welcoming them. Here’s to a fun filled year ahead.
Until next time, stay accountable, She is Me.
