"Regardless of what anyone says, if you want to study medicine, then do it for yourself; it doesn’t matter where you come from or if you are not a straight-A student. Yes, you have to have decent grades, but if you have passion, nothing can stop you at the end of the day. NEVER doubt yourself." More on Cosmocreole.

" Fiy Kreol is the first business idea I have decided to pursue. Like many other new businesses in Seychelles, the idea for Fiy Kreol came about during the pandemic. The reasons why I thought of starting Fiy Kreol were; that many online stores had stopped shipping to Seychelles at that time and have not resumed international shipping to date..."

You're going to meet people who will leave you along the way, and you're going to have setbacks, obstacles, challenges and tough choices to make. Some days you're not going to be able to give your best, and it's okay not to be the best every single day. Some days you might feel like you want to give up or even doubt yourself. You will experience all sorts of criticism, people who'd look down on you, people who doubt you, and people who don't want to see you win. But these are the challenges you face along the way that build you and prepare you to achieve what you've been working for. So don't ever stop working towards your goal!" Natasha Chetty

    To all mothers, we hear and see you: To the moth To all mothers, we hear and  see you:

To the mothers of neurodiverse children, we salute you for fighting, paving the way for your children even though no one has paved the way for you.

To the mothers who have lost a child, you are heartbroken, but the way you move forward in grief is humbling and inspiring.

To the mothers of differently-abled children, tiredness is your life but you do not give up. We see your love.

To the mothers of adopted children, you are brave —giving them a home, being there—loving them.

To the mothers doing it alone, your determination is noted—you are stronger than you think.

We hope we raise children who understand  that their mothers are flawed but we try our best.

Happy mother's day to all the wonderful mothers and mothers to be. 🥰

Living with Bronchiectasis can be stressful and frustrating; whilst most people with the condition have a normal life expectancy, for people with very severe symptoms, however, Bronchiectasis can be fatal if the lungs stop working properly. Elaine needs a double lung transplant. Read Elaine’s story on Cosmocreole.

    Dear Mothers, To the mothers of neurodiverse chil Dear Mothers,

To the mothers of neurodiverse children, we salute you for fighting, paving the way for your children even though no one has paved the way for you.

To the mothers who have lost a child, you are heartbroken, but the way you move forward in grief is humbling and inspiring.

To the mothers of differently-abled children, tiredness is your life but you do not give up. We see your love.

To the mothers of adopted children, you are brave —giving them a home, being there—loving them.

To the mothers doing it alone, your determination is noted—you are stronger than you think.

To all mothers, we are unique—accommodating and fiercely protective women because of motherhood. However, never forget that as mothers we do not hold our children back but instead, allow them to feel safe enough to wander independently if they can and explore the wonders of life —the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Mother's are flawed but we try our best.

Happy mother's day to all the wonderful mothers and mothers to be.

    This year, for me, the celebration of women is a b This year, for me, the celebration of women is a bittersweet one. As a woman, wife and mother, I am heartbroken for the millions of families in Ukraine being affected by the war. So, this International Women’s Day, let us acknowledge the courage and determination of the extraordinary women facing the conflict.

From the women fleeing the violence to keep their families safe to those on the front lines or bringing us their stories on the ground as journalists, to the leaders managing the crisis. These women are playing an important role in this crisis, and we salute them this International Women’s Day.

We've compiled a small ebook, a reminder of the strength, wisdom  and determination  of some Seychellois women. You can download from our website. Link in the bio.

Happy Women’s Day

Get Creative With Soursop (Corossol)

31 August 2020 · In: Food & Drink

Soursop (Guanabana) also known as Korosol in creole ( Corossol in French), is a prickly, green tropical fruit – an exotic fruit known for its unique taste; described as a mix between strawberry and pineapple, with a hint of sour citrus flavour and with an underlying creamy texture reminiscent of soft coconut or banana. Although the exact origin is unknown; it is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean and is widely propagated. Soursop is quite a popular fruit in the Seychelles.

Here some delicious soursop recipes to try:

Soursop Sorbet

Ingredients

2 cups soursop pulp, Seeded, pureed and sieved
2 tbsp lime juice ( lemon juice could be used also)
¾ cup sugar, granulated

Directions

Peel and separate the seed from the pulp.
Blend with 1 cup of water and place the pulp in a fine strainer or sieve using the back of a spoon to press the pulp. Note: This is very labour intensive but worth it!
Add the lime juice and sugar. Blend until the sugar dissolves. Place in a metal baking pan and cover with foil. Freeze until firm (about 3 hours).
Note: You can freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Let the sorbet soften at room temperature before serving.

Another use of the fruit is as the basis of a salad dressing.

Soursop Dressing

1 cup soursop juice (strained)
1/2 tsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp mustard
finely chopped basil
1 tsp of olive oil

Directions

whisk the soursop juice with white wine vinegar, garlic powder, mustard, basil, and olive oil.

Serve on different kind of salads!

Guanabana Margaritas

Ingredients (Servings 4)

1/2 cup lime juice (4-5 limes)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup guanabana (soursop strained or canned nectar)
3/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup orange liqueur
sweetener (Your favorite, to taste)
lime wedges (for serving)
salt (optional)

Directions

Stir together the lime juice, water, soursop/guanabana nectar, tequila, and orange liqueur.
Add the sweetener of your choice, to taste ( typically 5 drops of liquid sweetner per serving).
Run the lime wedges around the rims of 4 glasses and dip in salt.

Fill with ice and divide the margaritas between the glasses.

Enjoy!
