About Us… Director

 

As we reflect back on the past year, we realize how

much we have done and how many people contributed

towards the Children’s Haven. The enthusiasm and

willingness of all the staff, committee members, and

stakeholders were boundless. We can only hope that

the way in which we used our opportunities at the

M.T.R. Smit Children’s Haven will justify the faith that

all stakeholders placed in us.

 

Serving the children at the Children’s Haven has given

me a purpose in life. It is this purpose that produces

and energizes passion. My passion is to care for those

who cannot care for themselves. This also defines what

is essential in my life and gives me a foundation on

which I allocate all my purpose and on what to focus

my energy.

 

Rick Warren states that if you want to impact on other

people’s lives and to make a difference in the lives of

others, you must have servant hood fuelled by love.

The Mrs UNSA Community Service Awareness title

created a bigger platform for me to enrich the lives of

others and I have seized every opportunity to contribute

to the good of others. This title also enables a woman to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

 

In the voice of Graca Machel, the wife of former president Nelson Mandela:

 

“We must do anything and everything to protect our children, give them priority and a better future. This is a call to embrace a new morality that puts children where they belong – at the heart of all agendas.”

 

Sincerely,
