TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

This serves to confirm that Tingadini A Richards carried out some community work at our establishment for several weeks during 2019.

T.A. Richards regularly came to Strickland Lodge and carried out lots of odd jobs assigned to her mostly relating to sorting and tidying out offices and storage. She proved to be reliable and capable and happily did anything she was asked. Strickland Lodge is a residential care home for elderly and T.A Richards related well with the elderly when she had occasion to interact with them.

T.A Richards is a friendly, polite and well adjusted young lady. We so enjoyed her company and she would be asset to any association.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further queries. Yours faithfully

Lindy Botha
