Brenda

My name is Brenda and I’m blessed to be a mom of two! I have way too many favourite colours, but if I had to choose, it would probably be yellow. If I won the lotto, I’d love to start a taxi bus service to help people get to and from work every day, as we live in a more remote area and transport is an issue for so many that want to work. It’s also a dream of mine to open a children’s home for children who have nowhere else to go.

Lungelwa

I am Lungelwa! I can be quite serious at times, but I enjoy a good laugh. I dream of learning how to cook and becoming a professional chef. I would also love to see the world and travel, one day. I am also passionate about taking photos, so if I won the lottery, that’s exactly how I would spend my money. Traveling the world and taking photos. My favourite colour is black and I would choose a pair of jeans over a frilly dress any day!

Sarah

My name is Sarah.. My family is extremely important to me and I enjoy spending my free time with them, laughing and having a good time. I’m extremely hard working and determined. I’m not afraid of a challenge and I also enjoy teaching others.

Meagan

My name is Meagan Lee. You’ll always find me visiting friends over the weekend and even though I’m hard of hearing, I have earned the nickname chatterbox at work! I love learning new things and if I’m not stimulated enough, I often get bored. I take great pride in my work and like to take my time making sure my products are perfect. My desire is to one day learn to become a chef and to be able to make my favourite food, pizza, for others to enjoy!

Elizabeth

My name is Elizabeth, but my friends call me Bettie. I’m in my 50’s and have 2 beautiful children, a girl and a boy, and one angel child, in Heaven. I prefer wearing jeans over dresses and I absolutely love shoes. If I won a million rand, I’d spend all my money on shoes, I love them that much!

Sarie

I am Sarie. I am a very caring person and I’ll always find the space, time, and money to help whoever is in need. People often tell me I have a heart like a taxi.
If I won the lotto, I’d like to buy a house for my family, and then I’d like to donate the rest of the money to a cause very close to my heart, cancer research.

Mercia

My name is Mercia and I was blessed with two angels who are now in heaven. My favourite colour to wear is black, because it makes me look thinner.

I am Chanté! I’m a wife and mom. When I first started working I only had 2 children, but I now have three children and I am able to support my family completely, through the income I earn at Wild Mongoo.

I’m a patient, kind person and people often describe me as selfless and brave.

Angel

My name is Angel. I enjoy nothing better than relaxing over the weekend and falling asleep in front of the tv, besides maybe ice cream. Ice cream has to be my favourite food. Like all 20-something-year-olds, I’m still deciding what I’d like to learn to do when I’m older, but I really enjoy working for Wild Mongoo.

Daniel

My name is Daniel. My three favourite colours are red, white and black. I love wearing pretty dresses, but I don’t like wearing makeup. I prefer a more natural look. I dream of starting a hostel for children and students who don’t have a place to live. I’m always helping others and you’ll usually find me helping someone who’s struggling with their work over doing my own. I love singing and listening to music on my phone.
