Cheryl Sachse and Sharon Castle are changing lives<br />

with their Wings of Hope outreach programme.<br />

Both Sharon and Cheryl are hoping to see Wings of<br />

Hope continue to grow so they can help more people.<br />

“Our goal isn’t to ‘motivate’ people, but rather to inspire<br />

them towards transformation from the inside out and<br />

help them understand that what they need is already<br />

inside of them. Every one of us has the capacity to live a<br />

peaceful life. If you understand why you react in certain<br />

ways, you will understand yourself,” says Sharon. “People<br />

are desperate, sometimes even suicidal. It is amazing<br />

what just a 30-minute conversation can do. It can be<br />

life-changing.”<br />

As trained and accredited life coaches, Sharon and her<br />

team know how to correctly impart the information they<br />

have - with love and always without judgement.<br />

Wings of Hope is a registered NPC (non-profit company)<br />

and while they are currently funding it on their own,<br />

Sharon and Cheryl are hoping to obtain funding through<br />

fundraising and corporate sponsors, to be able to help<br />

more people.<br />

“Anyone who needs to see us, can come in for a session.<br />

We do screenings for one-on-one sessions to ensure we<br />

are able to help the person and to match them up with<br />

the right coach. We also have a ‘friendship bench’ outside<br />

my rooms at Burnedale,” says Sharon. “Our coaches will sit<br />

there intermittently, and anyone can sit down and chat to<br />

them. I would also like to have a permanent community<br />

drop-in office where there is always someone to talk to,<br />

or something to read. I want to make Wings of Hope as<br />

accessible as possible to this community, which has been<br />

so good to me over the years.”<br />
