“As we pray for the people of Boston, this quote from Mister Rogers comes to mind: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”” |

“Thanks Australia for your overwhelming response to giving blood after seeing the Today Show’s story about baby Ryven Harris. Since the story aired this morning, the Blood Service has been overwhelmed with appointments for this week. If you can’t get an appointment to give blood this week, don’t fret: your donation is just as important next week or the week after as it ensures that we have a constant supply of blood for the one in three Australians, like baby Ryven, who will need it in their lifetime. In fact, we need around 27,000 donations every week to meet the demands of Australian patients. Just so you know, the next critical date for us is Friday 26 April, as it follows a public holiday. Public holidays and long-weekends are challenging times for the Blood Service because regular donors are away on holidays. Thanks again for your support. To make an appointment, please visit http://bit.ly/13drJkY or call us on 13 14 95.” |

“An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ”UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?” ‘UBUNTU’ in the Xhosa culture means: “I am because we are”” |
