never saw her again for over two years. It really moved me to see how happy they were to be reunited with their mother again. This story confirmed to me once again that my purpose in life is to serve my community.
When a position came up at the Advice Office, I took it with open arms. I started as an administrator at BWLADO and now I am a fieldworker. My work as a fieldworker at the Advice Office provides me with a platform to live out my purpose helping people such as the time when we helped a family who was evicted by a farm owner after their father passed away. The family was grieving the loss of their father and their home as they were stranded without a place to stay. We took the matter up with the farm owner and he agreed to compensate the family so that they could buy a house. It is stories like this, where I can see we are making a difference to people’s lives, that make me happy to go to work every morning at the Advice Office.
