“A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.” ― Nelson Mandela

It’s 1  : 43  PM on day 1039 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray,  brush my teeth,   feed myself  All Bran Flakes   for breakfast, make sandwiches -(more about that in the next paragraph)- read Joshua 22, publish my Disability of the Day feature,   practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles,   stretch my hamstrings and  tweet and Facebook about my campaign – no one donated so far today.

Today in honour of Mandela Day our housekeeper, Nikiwe, and I made sandwiches for the kids in her neighbourhood we do this every week but doing it today on Nelson Mandela’s 95^th birthday felt extra special Nelson Mandela has done so much for this country and the world spending some time making sandwiches was the least I could do. See pictures below (special thanks to sisi (Xhosa word for sister) Nikiwe for helping me make the sandwiches and taking the pictures):

Happy Birthday Madiba we LOVE you!
