This is such a wonderful initiative and we were so happy to donate 50 packs of pads to this cause 💜. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Change is hard because it stretches us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It pulls us out of our comfort zone. It forces us to come out of the known and head into the unknown, and that is always a little unnerving. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the fact remains that in order to become everything we are meant to become in this life, we are going to have to embrace change. We are going to have to head fearlessly into new territories with a belief that the best is yet to come 🌞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today was one of the most incredible day's I've had in a long time, I got to do what I love and got to see what makes my heart skip a beat♡

There is nothing more beautiful than a child who's eyes shines, our youth is the future not only of our country but our world and we have to do everything we possibly can to give them a bright future.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We visited St George's Home for girls. It is the only residential care facility in the wynberg district which provides for girls who are abused, abandoned and orphaned. We gave them each a goody bag with reusable sanitary pads from @margaret_hirsch and @hirschs_homestores and some essential products.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not everyone is as privileged as we are and if we have enough to give we need to make it a habit to help those who are less fortunate. If you have anything in your cupboard that you don't wear or use anymore but that's still in a usable condition please DM me and help us put a smile on a child's face♡♡”

The Wheel of Life (also known as Goal Wheel) is a perfect way to identify which areas in your life are off balance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It usually consists of 6-8 categories that are important for a satisfying and successful life. It helps to identify how much time you spend on a certain category of your life and how satisfied you are with that area. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The wheel of life creates some sort of self-reflection that allows you to find out what to change in a certain part of your life in order to become happier and more successful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You also learn to set priorities 💫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@safepadsouthafrica is a reusable sanitary pad NGO

@safepadsouthafrica is a reusable sanitary pad NGO that is trying to raise funds to:
1. Distribute reusable pads and educate women about their bodies
2. Build a factory in SA for manufacture to create sustainable long terms goals and local employment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The pads they distribute are made by @realreliefway -
a Danish company that supplies them at cost price to @safepadsouthafrica. The AMAZING thing about these reusable sanitary pads is that they are anti microbial so even if you wash them in dirty water (not all women have access to clean water or soap) they will be clean, bacteria free and safe to use 🙌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These pads last up to 4-5yrs and are R155 for a pack (4 in a pack)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’d like to support @safepadsouthafrica in ANY way, please connect with Sarah on:
