Assah's Story

Memories of being a mother...I was filled with such joy for I had brought a life into the world. The labour pains were all forgotten. 

I am the Godmother of Tashinga and I have a few other God children. I have two children of my own. 

I had to get up during the night to feed the children and change nappies. Somehow I found the energy to do all that with very little help. God gave me the strength to do this labour of joy. 

A mother's job is never done even when the children are at school or at College. Once a mother, always a mother! It is a lifetime job! 

I had to cope with sleepless nights and sickness. I was there when they needed me as a nurse or a tutor. 

I was there when they needed someone to play with or when they needed a shoulder to cry on. 

My children are grown up, but I am still doing this labour of love for them and my grandchildren. This is a lifetime job, a labour of love.
