LINDA OBERHOLZER
BESKERMHEER VAN DIE JUNIOR STADSRAAD VAN PRETORIA
|

Seisoene. Gisteraand het Tannie Oba uitgetree as Beskermheer van die Junior Stadsraad van Pretoria. Na 34 jaar. Dis 'n leeftyd. Dankie vir al tannie se opoffering; die JSR het bly floreer ondanks uitdagings, verandering en onsekerheid. Sonder tannie was dit nie moontlik nie.
Dit bly een van die belangrikste ervarings van my lewe: as 15-jarige het ek hier diversiteit in al sy vorme ervaar en gesien hoe positief en betekenisvol dit kan wees; die grootste geskenk destyds wat 'n tiener in die jong demokrasie kon kry.
Daarmee saam het ek vriende vir 'n leeftyd gemaak. En die kans gekry om te dien as Junior Burgemeester, die grootste voorreg.
Ek sien reikhalsend uit na wat voorlê vir die JSR. Nerens is daar 'n organisasie wat so volkome "vir die kinders deur die kinders" is nie; op die beste van tye is dit georganiseerde chaos want om 33 skole se raadslede te koördineer is nie maklik nie.
En tog is die uitset skrikwekkend in terme van projekte, invloed en fondsinsameling. Gisteraand is oor die R130 000 geskenk aan liefdadigheid.
En wat 'n vreugde om vir De Wet te sien, die Burgemeester toe ek begin het op die JSR. Sy voorbeeld het my destyds geïnspireer.

God has called us to serve others. Serving is such an important part of what life is about. The highest of all callings, is the call to servant hood. When we sacrifice for others, we feel more complete. When we give up our lives, we find a richer life. As we serve, our heart is becoming more like Christ’s heart.
My biggest desire is to follow in the footsteps of the greatest servant leader who ever lived – the One who came to serve rather than be served, Jesus Christ. As Mother Teresa once said, “Give your hands to serve, and your hearts to love.” “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10 |

BEA CAMPBELL-CLOETE
FOUNDER OF GOD'S BUTTERFLY | PASTORAL COUNCELLOR | MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER | UCT FACULTY OF COMMERCE ALUMNI MENTOR | LIFE COACH | PR COUNCILLOR FOR DR. KENNETH KAUNDA DISTRICT COUNCIL | GOVERNANCE SPECIALIST | MC
|
Sometimes it takes one woman to realise that they are not defined by their past, that bad circumstances need not be the end of their world and that, through determination, forgiveness, humility and faith, it is easy to imitate a Biblical life. I am one of those women, not the only one … merely one of a very large contingent around the world.
The road has not been easy and there has been times when I lost my way completely, but God always had a way to bring me back. What started as “When chains break – Harnessing the giant in you to become truly great”, turned into “God’s Butterfly”. This movement aims to assist women to dig into their struggles, find their power and be the leaders and women they were meant to be. |

ALZA RAUTENBACH
FOUNDER & CEO : FEED A CHILD
|
Everyone who knows me, know that my biggest passion in life is to make a positive difference in someone else's life. I do believe that 'Changing Lives Making a Difference' is a wonderful, fruitful gift given by God. After studying Human Resource Management, God first prepared me for this journey for 12 years by running my own recruitment company.
Then one day out of the blue, He called me to start making a bigger impact in other people’s lives. Because of this calling Feed a Child was born in 2010. I am a typical example that you don’t have to have any experience in the charity industry to start making a difference. You don’t have to have all the knowledge in world and you don’t have to be a “Someone”. God uses ordinary people like me and prepare you in your normal day to day living to use what you have to make a difference to other people. All of us are in a position to touch someone else’s life in a positive way. I am in the fortunate position to do this on a full time basis and my mission is to put action into someone’s willingness to help. Also Feed a Child’s slogan. The best part is that you don’t have to run a charity organisation to make a difference. It starts with the smallest gesture. |
