You are what you stand behind– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 20 PM on day 266 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, give our housekeeper computer lessons (see next paragraph to understand why) – she’s really sharp it’s a shame she had to quit school because she got pregnant and to make things even more tragic her son didn’t even live to see his second birthday 🙁 – feed myself chocolate muffins and chicken nugget sandwiches for lunch, watch TV, feed myself an orange for dinner tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck so far :(– and brush my teeth once more.

As you may or may not know the Nelson Mandela Foundation launched Mandela Mondays – an initiative which aims to promote community service by urging citizens of the world to do something every Monday to make the world a better place – was launched on 1 June 2011 and in honour of that I am going to give our housekeeper – Nandipha – computer lessons sometime today. How will you commemorate Mandela Monday?

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!
