Subject: 💐 Celebrating the heart of our homes & workplace - Happy Mother’s Day! 💖

Helloooooo thereeee People!


As we celebrate Mother’s Day 💐 this Sunday, we take a moment to celebrate the incredible women who nurture, guide, and inspire us in countless ways - both at home and in the workplace. Whether it’s a mum, grandmother, step-mum, or a mother figure, their love and quiet strength leave a lasting mark on our hearts. This edition of the gazette is lovingly dedicated to them - the everyday superheroes 🦸‍♀️ who make life brighter.


At work, many mums wear multiple hats 🎩: team leaders, multitaskers, problem-solvers, and motivators - all while balancing the beautiful chaos of family life 👩‍👧‍👦. It's no small feat, and we salute their resilience, patience, and boundless love. 💖Through stories, insights, and tributes, we’ll shine a light on how motherhood blends with professional life, and how flexibility, support and understanding can make all the difference.


So, whether you’re a mum yourself, celebrating someone special, or simply reflecting on the role of mothers in your life, we hope this edition brings a smile 😊 to your face, a bit of inspiration 💫, and a reminder of just how valued these remarkable women truly are.

DID YOU KNOW?

✌️In Mauritius, we celebrate Mother’s Day on the last Sunday of May. It’s a cherished occasion filled with flowers, home-cooked meals, thoughtful gifts, and emotional family moments. In schools and workplaces, it’s not unusual to see handmade cards, WhatsApp greetings, or even heartfelt poems dedicated to mums.


🌸 Mother’s Day is celebrated in over 50 countries, though the date and traditions vary. In the United States, it’s held on the second Sunday of May, inspired by Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honour her own mother and promote peace. In Thailand, the celebration is held on 12 August, in honour of the Queen Mother. Meanwhile, in Ethiopia, the occasion forms part of a multi-day autumn festival with singing and feasting. 🎶🍲


💕Regardless of when or how it’s celebrated, the message is universal: mothers matter — and they deserve to be recognised, appreciated, and spoiled every now and then. 💕🎁
