Stand Up

Lead SA is a new initiative encouraging every South African to make a difference by making small changes to their lives to make South Africa a better, crime-free nation. Similar to Nelson Mandela Day, where South Africans gave 67 minutes of their time to serve those less fortunate than ourselves in some way, Lead SA is motivating us to live daily for a better SA.
Small things like volunteering for an NGO regularly, driving at the speed limit, treating people with dignity and not talking on your cellphone while driving will all make a difference.
I have decided to search for the strengths in everyone I come across rather than judging their weaknesses. What are you going to do to stand up and make a difference?

Nelson Mandela Day

On Sunday 18 July '10 we have the most amazing opportunity to participate in the Nelson Mandela Day initiative. Nelson Mandela spent 67 years serving humanity and the challenge is that we all pledge to give a mere 67 minutes to doing good. It doesn't have to be a huge effort, but if everyone finds something small to do to help humanity, what a difference it will make. I would love to hear what people are planning to do.
