Woman one.
It was my first experience gardening and I learned so much on Saturday. The staff, Bernadette, and Angie were great teaching me. I will like to do it again and I’m sure I will plant flowers at my new place.
Woman two:
We love you, Thank You.
Woman Three

Woman Five
I enjoyed myself; I need more of the program.
Woman Six
This is my first time to spend Saturday at Nellie’s Shelter as I usually head to the church, eventually I stayed in for some physiological reasons. ………….I was invited to help in the garden and honestly, it was awesomely great —- an experience and also quite getting to collaborate with my fellow roommates. Enjoyed the event as it save me some of my loneliness. But the best part the meal was fantastic which never fail to amaze my choosy palate. Thanks so much, I look forward for these fabulous programs.
Woman seven
On Saturday, we had a wonderful day. It was a great experience doing planting with all the women. It was so nice and relaxing doing planting as a team and having fun together. I would like to thank Marlene and Jamuna for allowing it to happen and also thanks to Angie and her friends for donating the flowers to us. Big thanks to Bernadette for participating with us and buying the snacks. Bless you all and all the best to all of you.
