It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership. – Nelson Mandela

It’s 7: 12 PM on day 270 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –at last the amount raised so far has moved up– thanks yet again to Stan (@Faryna) who has made a FOURTH donation :)– prepare my Kid of the Week feature for Sunday, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch TV, feed myself bread and chili chicken for dinner, watch some more TV and brush my teeth once more.

As you know one of my greatest passions in life is giving and getting other people involved in giving which is why I was SO happy to hear that Jack’s (@drjackking’s) daughters, ages 4 and 9, wanted to help me with Virginia’s Sandwich Run – thanks girls you are AWESOME! Do you follow from the front or lead from behind?

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

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

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
