What did you do after Matric?

I did a National Diploma in Food Service Management at the Cape Technikon’s Hotel School in Granger Bay.

What is your day job?

I homeschool our daughters and manage our household.

When did you join D4D?

2005

Why are you involved with D4D?

I see it as a wonderful opportunity to support my husband, Stéphan, in this worthwhile cause and to obey God’s command in James 1:27: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

Tell us more about your family.

I have been married to my hero, Stéphan, for almost 20 years. We were blessed with three beautiful daughters: Caro, Karla and Simoné.

What sport do you do? Any tough events done?

I have completed two half marathons, the Winelands and Two Oceans, which was a huge accomplishment for me. These days I have to resort to walking, seeing that I’m battling with knee problems. Hopefully I can start running again soon.

What are your future dreams for D4D?

My first dream for D4D is that we will be able to glorify God through everything that we do and that God will use humble and ordinary people to do what He guides us to do. Secondary to that, I dream of the day when Stéphan and I can be involved in D4D on a full time basis.
