Renewal (SAQA Regional)

Renewal is:

-rekindling, looking to a new future, finding hope,

-resuming an activity after an interruption, renewing a past friendship,

-the cycles of nature: spring growth, forest regeneration, a new moon,

-extending validity, such as renewing a passport, a library card, a subscription, or marriage vows,

-repair of something worn out, restoring to an original state, recovering strength or urban renewal.

Renewal happens in many ways, combined with hopes and fears.
