It Takes a Village

A family is a patchwork of individuals tied together by heartstrings - Kav L'Noar

In everything I do, I am blessed and ever so grateful to have a village surrounding me. I have learnt that we cannot do everything alone, that there is a time and place for everything.
A time to give and a time to receive.
We have to learn when is the time for both and move accordingly.

The NiNa Programme is no different, the village of Pat and Avinash surround me making this journey so much richer and rewarding.

On 23rd July  2019, we have another opportunity to interact with young ladies who always show up and teach me about unconditional love, the power in respecting others and that non judgement has an impact on decisions made.

It is never an easy road hoping on the Journey however, knowing that there is a Village is worth the trip.

I Give Thanks

Peace
