Day 1979: Ubuntu Awards, Youth Diplomacy and Catherine Constantinides

#Ubuntu is a verb, an action, a word that talks to spirit of serving others! A quality that includes essential human virtues! #UbuntuAwards – tweeted by Catherine Constantinides at the Ubuntu Awards last night.

 

It’s 12 : 20 PM on day 1979 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 1 Timothy 4,  learn one new thing – That’s 3 main rings and 5 dusty rings for a total of 8 rings, 9 if you count the Cassini Division. But there are even more rings around Saturn. There’s the Janus Ring, the Methone Ring Arc, the Anthe Ring Arc and the Pallene Ring, as well as the Roche Division. –have breakfast,  and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –  raised  $2 387  only $3 863 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far :)  ).

 

Last night the second annual Ubuntu Awards were held in Cape Town – the event is hosted by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation and celebrates South Africans who are flying the South African flag high globally – my hero without a cape Catherine Constantinides won the Youth Diplomacy award I couldn’t be happier for her honest-to-God she works her butt off and does the right thing even when nobody’s watching (whenever I think of Catherine this Bible verse automatically comes to mind: the humble shall be exalted). Congratulations Catherine I’m SO SO SO proud of you and I love you forever and a day (if you don’t become President of South Africa one day my name is not Nisha-Benny Varghese 🙂 ).

 

In loving memory of Graham Michael Constantinides – I never had the honour of meeting you but in all three of your children I see what kind of human being you must have been and you were indeed A GIANT OF A MAN 🙂 . Rest in peace Mr. Constantinides.
