SANIBONANI South Africa- Charity

This past weekend I attended and participated in a ladies lunch and fashion show to collect funds and raise awareness for Gaza, Palestine.

Thanx to all the organizers for all the hard work that they put in, the event was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all the attendees.

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the struggle in Palestine. Apartheid, yes, being South African we all know what that is. Being born in the 1990's I was fortunate enough not to experience apartheids oppression. Yet looking into the eyes and listening to the stories of those who lived through it, brings shivers and tears to my eyes.

Reading about and viewing pictures of the current state in Palestine is heart breaking. The little that we can do to assist the people of Palestine, must be done. Looking at SA and how far we've come, brings hope for the future of Palestine. Please remember them in your prayers. Palestine must be free!

A wider meaning would be that of modesty.
