67 minutes for Mandela

Today is Mandela Day, but how we approach it and which activities we engage in will no doubt look different than it did in previous years due to the pandemic.

But to quote the inspirational Nelson Mandela himself: “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”

ADSA and NSSA collectively launched this booklet on Mandela Day (18 July 2020), in the spirit of goodwill and to support and guide the prolonged humanitarian response to fight hunger and malnutrition. The recip-e book will be shared with regional and national food relief organisations, for use and further distribution.

We encourage every follower of this page to share this recip-e booklet widely (aim for at least 67 people), including to local organisations involved with food relief and humanitarian efforts, soup kitchens, households and individuals.

Saw this quote shared on FB today and was struck by the enormous truth in it. In all areas of life...business, personal (including fitness, nutrition, weight loss, general health), social, community, relationships.....we all fall off the proverbial wagon or trip and fall somewhere in our journey. It’s in the getting up and carrying on that we learn, that we grow...that we live.
