Only in Africa!

The Boys!

The picture above is of Caleb's first holiday on his own - Let me explain -

On Sunday Caleb decided he was going to the airport to fly away on holiday all on his own without Mommy and Daddy - he then unpacked his entire wardrobe and threw it on the floor in Daniels room - we are not sure why it had to go in Daniel's room, it just did! It was too sweet! He then packed three over-night bags with all his things - including Dad's motorbike boots - picked up all the bags and waved goodbye to us as he "left" for the airport!

Daniel rolled over today for the first time!! YAY! I am so proud of him! He is such a lazy and laid-back little boy that I am surprised he did it at all..lol. I usually have to force him to do his tummy time every day - he would much rather lie on his back and watch the world go by.. It took him 3 months and 3 days!

Power rests with Africans

Last week, Obama fever hit the world, sweeping across South Africa, instilling a sense of worldwide optimism, ushering in, in the minds of the people, a dawn of hope.

While Obama-mania roars forth, the words of the Congress of South African Trade Unions' general secretary, Zwelinzima Vavi, rings true.

He remarked that South Africans should remain level-headed, because not a lot of things will change in Africa.

Even though such a comment may seem cynical, Vavi has a point, stressing that Africa will still be facing the same political reality, unless its people fought for change.

It would, indeed, be foolish for us to now pin any great hopes on the President of America turning the situation around in Africa.

It is up to each and every one of us in this land to begin making changes and to build this nation. - Riaan Englebrecht -

How true these words are - if we only keep making noise about change, but actually change nothing ourselves, then change will never come to Africa!

Change one thing today and know that you have made a difference!
