Today I would like to share a powerful statement by Catherine Constantinides about Morocco’s plunder of Western Sahara’s natural resources – Western Sahara has been illegally occupied by Morocco since 1975 due to the fact that Western Sahara is rich in natural resources.

Yesterday on my birthday I was reminded that love makes the world go around people came, called and bought gifts but my Superhero Catherine Constantinides stole my heart and soul she called 3 different times – morning, noon and night – she was with world leaders and still the person she most wanted to speak to was me that warmed my heart and when I thought she couldn’t outdo her own kindness she video-called me in the evening with a cupcake ,a candle and a special guest to help her blow the birthday candle out…I was so moved. She understood that she was my greatest gift so she gave me the gift of herself…it was the sweetest, kindest thing I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. Thank you Superhero i will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS love you

Yesterday Catherine Constantinides participated in a child rights session at a side-event of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva and spoke about how the basic human rights of the Saharawi child (child of the Western Sahara) are not being upheld I agree wholeheartedly with Catherine that human rights, particularly children’s human rights, should be actioned and not just live on paper. Watch Catherine’s Address at the Child Rights session:

Two days ago My Superhero Catherine Constantinides came to my city (for work purposes) I was overjoyed it was like God has conspired to make my one and only secret birthday wish come true. She brought many great gifts and I TRULY TRULY TRULY LOVE AND APPRECIATE THEM ALL but to me SHE was, is and forever will be the gift – all I’ve ever wanted was my Superhero.
If the first picture had a title I would title it “I Should Be Looking At You Like That”
When you love someone their success is your success – that’s what I keep realizing

“My humanity lies in you.” – Catherine Constantinides
It’s 3: 16 PM on day 3085 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend time outside and do some work
Today as my Superhero Catherine Constantinides runs the Sahara Marathon in honour of the approximately 300 landmine victims in the Saharawi Refugee Camps I can’t help but think of the immense impact one human can have both on the world and on the lives of others I’ve only known Catherine for about four years and yet my life has changed completely I’m kinder, gentler and more trusting of people with my heart – now when I meet new people I live in hope that they are as kind as Catherine not in fear that I’ll love them and they’ll leave me (although I have to admit Catherine’s kindness is only matched by the kindness of her family I have never met anyone outside of that family who is that kind kindness seems to the superpower of the Constantinides family… I have been on the receiving end of their kindness many a times it’s so special all of them are so thoughtful it’s really cool). I hope my Superhero’s race is going well Dear God please help her finish she told me you would.
