Day 2445: Thinking of the Saharawi People this Africa Day

“If everyone does something… something will change.” – Catherine Constantinides

 

It’s 12 : 19 PM on day 2445 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,   have breakfast, read Exodus 20:12 and learn a new word – Definitions for cantankerous
disagreeable to deal with; contentious; peevish: a cantankerous, argumentative man.

 

Today is Africa Day and although this continent has a lot to celebrate the illegal occupation of the Western Sahara by Morocco remains an ugly scar on the continent. On this day I pledge to continue speaking about the Saharawi People until the day that they can return to their country, the Western Sahara.

Day 2234: “25 Smiles for Smile Train and the Western Sahara”

We die a little each time we stay silent about things that matter – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 10 :  26 AM on day 2234 of my journey towards independence and I managed to have breakfast, pray, read 1 Peter 2: 9,  learn one new thing – The English word alphabet came into Middle English from the Late Latin word alphabetum, which in turn originated in the Greek ἀλφάβητος (alphabētos), from alpha and beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet. – and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –raised $8 136.04 only  $4 363.96 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

 

Yesterday I posted a video titled “25 Smiles for Smile Train and the Western Sahara” it’s basically an update on 25 Smiles (for my YouTube subscribers) and an introduction to the Western Sahara. Watch “25 Smiles for Smile Train and the Western Sahara” below:

[Update January 12, 2017: Campaign ended 2 days ago. Final total raised is $10 317.04 [enough money to sponsor 41 smiles]]
