TESTEMONIALS

THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES WERE POSTED ON THE WEB FOLLOWING SHÉRI’S SPEECHES AT THE GRADUATION CEREMONIES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE IN MAY 2011:

“Thank you for a very special ceremony. Sheri Brynard was very special, and her sister was one of the graduates!” – Drina



“I attended this and would just like to say how much I enjoyed it. It truly was a wonderful event and a positive experience. Sheri Brynard’s motivational talk was an experience.” – Ronelle




“And the speaker ... I read about her in the paper this morning. I then realised that her speech was a truly exceptional event. To hear her speaking first-hand and to feel the impact of her message was an experience I will always cherish.” – Delene  

“The choice of speaker was excellent and, from watching the students, I could tell that that young girl had made an impression on the lives of most of them, perhaps even a life-changing impression.” – Danie and Carina



 

“Furthermore, thank you for inviting Ms Brynard as speaker! She is truly an inspiration! She reminded me that success doesn’t just fall in one’s lap, but that it is something that can only be achieved through hard work.” – Lezelle


Thank you for an excellent graduation ceremony and for the new format. The speakers, Brynard, Prof Jansen and the Chancellor, were inspiring.” – Nico



The following note was written by Dzivhuluwani Ramabulana of ETVRamabulana    - /  

Against All Odds has been given an opportunity to play on ETV.

We have selected our most inspiring stories to play at 21:30 on Tuesday 28 May 2013.

Sheri’s story will be the leading story on the program.

Feel free to watch it again or inform those who may have not watched the initial episode.
Sheri has inspired thousands of South Africans and so have you. We received multiple emails of parents who thought that their children had no hope of a future and resorted to isolating them and keeping them away from society. After they saw the episode of how you encouraged Sheri they have changed their entire perceptive on their children with Down syndrome and are taking the Suzette Brynard approach.

God bless Sheri and all her future ventures.

Dzivhu

Sheri is part of research that is been done on the following, in London:

With the Down syndrome population now approaching eight million, it is important to understand the nature and cause of the AD-like dementia that can occur in this disease. The aim is to understand dementia in Down syndrome at the neurological, cognitive, behavioural, cellular and genetic levels, which will also inform our general understanding of Alzheimer's disease.

This multi-disciplinary team will focus on the development of biomarkers for early diagnosis of dementia in Down syndrome, the biochemical and cellular characteristics that differentiate those who will develop dementia from those who are protected, the genetics of behavioural and cognitive phenotypes seen in Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome, and stem cell approaches to therapies for dementia.

Dear Mr Coetzer

I assume you were the 'fellow South African' that recommended the speaker today. If not I apologise for sending this email to you!

But I was just emailing to say how much I enjoyed that assembly. That was honestly one of the best speakers I have seen in my 7 years at Lord Wandsworth College. A truly inspirational person and a lesson to everyone in overcoming adversity.

Please pass on my regards!

Dear Sheri and  Susette


Glad to hear Sheri got home ok.
Just a note to say thank you Sheri for participating at  our Women in Academic Leadership which took place on the 25th and 26th of March 2015. Your contribution did add tremendous value to the delegates. You got an average score of 5 and 5 being the highest number.
The delegates and I were very inspired and some will be in contact for speaking engagements.
Unfortunately my budget was not much but next time I will be looking at a fee for Sheri.
Thank you so much Susette for sharing your daughter with the world. You really have an exceptional young woman.
I look forward to working with you again in future.
May God’s great grace invade every area of your lives.
Best Regards,

Debra
Dear Miss Sheri Brynard,

It was indeed a great privilege to hear your address at the recently held WDSC 2015 at Chennai, India. Your perfect speech left all in amazement at your ability and achievement to conquer your affliction. You are the role model for all those who aspire towards a higher life state.

It was also a pleasure meeting you and your Mother who has been instrumental in your life and it's fascinating progress. You have done the impossible and beaten all medical dictum.

We wish you the very best in your future endeavour and consider ourselves fortunate to have come across you to learn as parents and hope it improves our own daughter in the years to come.

We intend to stay in touch with you to exchange notes when possible.



Regards

Mr Naveen and Mrs Smriti Sarawagi
