Statement by international Activist Catherine Constantinides to the seminar on resources of #WesternSahara . #StandInTheSand

“Stand for something or you’ll fall for everything.” – Unknown

“Underdog” by The Script

“This is for the lost, the left out, the looked over

The ones who fight wars, the true soldiers

For the ones who keep marchin’ on

This is for the highs, that our eyes could not believe in

The woes, the low blows, we won’t give in”

The Script, “Underdog”

Recently I heard “Underdog” by The Script it’s such a good song I had to share

I’m back

The Springboks Are In The City #SpringboksTrophyTour

Nisha Varghese (1991-Hopefully A LONG TIME FROM 2019)

Nisha Varghese is survived by her loving family. Nisha was kind, compassionate, generous, courageous, loyal, honest and fair. She appreciated everything, expected nothing and when she was on your side you truly felt it – she spared no effort or expense to make family, friends and sometimes strangers feel loved and appreciated. Nisha travelled the world, met new people and lived as though everything was a miracle because to her it was. She lived to make a difference and inspire others to do the same but what she did not realize was that the difference she made in the world was also making her. Nisha lived fully!
