There are times in life when we feel so disappointed within our lives that it seems like an end. We become so hopeless that except in darkness, we don't see anything. In this moment of life, even a bleak hope can light up our lives.
Always give hope to others. Talk positive, show them the bright side, take them out and uplift their spirit. You may not be able to change someone's situation, but by giving hope to them, you can change the way they look and handle it."

This is what South Africans had to say about the touching story

Carol Blackman:

"As a retired teacher, I know what receiving a letter as this felt like. Recently I had a message posted on FB messenger from a past pupil. He is nearly 50 now but there he was telling me that I was one of his favourite teachers. So heartwarming to know that one has made such an impression."

"Never underestimate the power and influence you have to shape and teach young minds. Thank you for caring and inspiring and most importantly for listening. So many of us don't take time to actually listen. Thank you also to that student for showing you that you are appreciated and loved, inspiring you to keep on going even when you sometimes feel like throwing in the towel.

Wendy Goetze:

"Oh my soul....how beautiful....teachers are so undervalued for the exceptional work they do. Well done Miss McCann, well done❤️"

Jeanette Nel:

"What a beautifully written letter by student L.Kasongo.
Just the diction and the deep and loving concern and appreciation expressed for your wellbeing show what an impact your nurturing has had on this precious soul.
May you both be forever blessed for who you both are. ♥️♥️♥️♥️"
