Day 1988: Brownies & downieS South Africa

For a successful entrepreneur it can mean extreme wealth. But with extreme wealth comes extreme responsibility. And the responsibility for me is to invest in creating new businesses, create jobs, employ people, and to put money aside to tackle issues where we can make a difference.” -Richard Branson

 

It’s 12 : 25 PM on day 1988 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Titus 3, watch Sunrise on ETV – yep you guessed it I was watching because Catherine Constantinides was on 🙂 –  learn one new thing – The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), and in theory nothing can travel faster than light. In miles per hour, light speed is, well, a lot: about 670,616,629 mph. If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second.-have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –  raised $2 972 only $3 278 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far :)  ).

 

Yesterday on Introducing Up & Coming Current.. – a vlog by Dennis Ngango – I heard about Brownies & downieS – a coffee shop and lunchroom in Cape Town that primarily serves as training centre for the intellectually disabled – I love that Brownies & downieS is trying to give people who have intellectual disabilities independence and purpose. Residents of Cape Town: Please visit Brownies & downieS and buy a brownie on my behalf (I haven’t had a brownie in ages my mouth is watering just thinking about it).

 

(Note: Brownies & downieS did not pay me to write this post I did it because I believe business that care deserve support.)
