“I believe it doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop. As the saying goes, ‘Nothing is impossible’. The words itself say it’s possible for me,” she says.
Charlene Moodley (34) says her daughter is a fun-loving, caring and vibrant little girl who always tries to be the rainbow in someone’s life. “She is the most loving and caring child, treating young and old with the world of respect,” she says.
Her daughter’s spontaneous and responsible attitude astonishes them.
“She is our princess on the ramp but knows how to differentiate between home, school and being a little model,” says Charlene.
She and her husband Elvin Moodley feel blessed to have such a beautiful daughter who they are very proud of.
“Nikyla brings nothing but love, joy and laughter into our lives and without a doubt she is the apple of daddy’s eye,” Charlene adds.
