It is sweet to serve one’s country by deeds, and it is not absurd to serve her by words. – Sallust

It’s 8: 11 PM on day 241 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a  chicken hotdog for breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for a few hours –no luck this morning but Galen – an adoptive mother of TEN kids with special needs – made a donation yesterday evening – I love you Galen you give new meaning to the word SPECTACULAR 🙂 – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch TV, tweet about my campaign some more – still no luck 🙁 –and brush my teeth once more.

As you may or may not know Table Mountain located in Cape Town, South Africa is one of the twenty-eight contenders vying to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world and although I did my patriotic duty by voting I doubt my vote is all it will take to make Table Mountain the ultimate champion which is why I’m asking you to log on to http://www.votefortablemountain.com/ and vote. Here’s how:

• Step 1: Click on the ‘or vote online now’ tab
• Step 2: Select the seven candidates that you feel are most deserving of the title ‘Natural Wonder of the World’
• Step 3: Fill in the registration form
• Step 4: Click on the link in the confirmation email that is sent to you

Please help her do an amazing thing. http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/nisha-varghese/nishavarghese

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.
