[VERSE 1 — SERVICE] As
Deputy
National
Women’
s
Organiser,
The
journey
has
not
always
been
easy.
When
the
hours
were
long,
When
the
work
was
demanding,
When
responsibility
became
heavy—
You
stood
with
me.
Your
prayers
gave
me
strength.
Your
encouragement
gave
me
courage.
Your
trust
kept
me
moving.
So
today
I
say—
LEAD:
Thank
you!

WE
ARE
WITH
YOU!

From

the
wards,
From

You
organise,
You
mobilise,
You
sacrifice.
You
carry
communities
on
your
shoulders.
You
nurture
the
dreams
of
families.
You
keep
hope
alive
at
the
grassroots.

daughter
can
look
ahead
and
say—
