This initiative epitomizes the ‘lift as we go up” slogan. I am very honoured & delighted to have been nominated by (link Julie hier) the Country Ambassador DMI-SA to take part in this Global Initiative. This is how S.A. will become part of this Global Change & Love Movement, touching lives one person at a time.; I indeed want to be part of the Big Dream- One Billion Dreams! Words fail to express how I truly feel, THANK YOU! I will do my best to help spread the message of love & appreciation. Being nominated as a Top100 SA Difference Maker inspires me to do more! If we are to make a meaningful impact in our society as women, we have to GO TOGETHER. The women on 09 August 1956 had had enough of the pass laws, they resolved to stand together to shift the system, not only for themselves/their society but for the generations to come. Here we are today, benefiting from their unwavering resolve, courage and bravery. We as the Women of the 21st century ought to also stand for something, shift it so generations after us can also derive value from our existence. Thank you for this platform because it is helping in bringing us together, for there is power in numbers.

13 June 2019 : Buyisiwe Khoza - Top 100 SA Difference Maker
I would first like to that Itumeleng Mashishi for having nominated me as one of South Africa’s Top 100 SA Difference Makers. This not being her 1st nomination has made me realise that we take for granted the little we do as we believe we are vessels and should not be acknowledged as all Glory goes to the one above. Being a leader comes with many responsibilities and this has made me want to do more but come up with different strategies and benchmarking our programs for more people and provinces to be reached and benefit from what we do.
I would love to thank Julie for having considered the nomination and contacting me as this made me feel that I’m truly an asset and doing something wondrous thus impact positively to the nation giving selflessly and imparting knowledge and skills.My nomination has filled me with a strong sense of pride and honour to be part of human transforming endeavors. I understand fully the responsibilities of this position and look forward to interacting other Change Makers to create and bring more Change Makers.
The nation is filled with a lot of unrealized potential and I strive to be one of the best vehicles of transformation in order to assist the youth to realize the greatness that lies in them and how they can use that to turn their situations around. When accepting the nomination I shared my belief that this is a calling to help the dependent to be able to embrace their uniqueness and be the best versions of themselve as they transform their livelihoods.

Julie: “May God continue to use you to be a blessing for His glory on this platform of Change Makers S.A.”. It is an exciting and humbling experience to be nominated to be part of a Change Makers S.A. platform as Top 100 SA Difference Maker SA. I feel honoured that through DMI-SA I can be part of those that shows concern for everyone in need and with what this platform offer, one is always bound to get inspired by other Change Makers to reach out and never get tired in sharing the Love & Appreciation. So many are longing for the restoration to hear that they matter and are loved and I see DMI-SA is that platform. Thank you Julie for starting DMI-SA, thank you for believing in Love too.
I see DMI-SA (Difference Makers S.A.) as a platform of not only spreading Love & Appreciation in our nation and in the world; also do I see this platform in total as part of the obedience and love for God’s purpose. The Country Ambassador, Julie share the love and appreciation; also does she allows S.A. citizens to do this too, to become part of a Global Love Movement. I hope that she will with this, teach more people to do this too, also to let them become part of this platform, believing how important it is to believe this- S.A. need this for sure. I see how DMI-SA has created a platform that showcase that there are still brothers and sisters that believe and are saying that ‘Love never fails & Love works for all with no one let out‘. Our nation has lost hope and many people are good at pointing fingers without realizing that they as the change agents play an important role with positive change in their communities. An Top 100 SA Diffrence Maker I am now part of this movement; and I see it as my part to make it happen that many eyes will be opened to see the value of Love and Appreciation for one another. DMI-SA is that platform equipping S.A. for a better world and nation.

I would love to be a part of the difference makers organisation as this would be an amazing platform to use as a loud speaker to communicate environmental improvements and initiatives from. We are all global citizens and therefore need to stand together to make a combined change in betterment for communities and the environment. This group of positive difference makers could really make a huge impact if we all used our common goal to make a difference, and in this case, for mother earth, where everybody benefits. Nothing is too big or too small to make a global environmental change.

To be nominated for the Top 100 Difference Makers SA is a proud moment and a giant step for me to fulfil my purpose for the African continent to bring change to 1 million children
09 October 2018 : Dr Anneline Chetty - Top100 SA Difference Maker Season
I believe that Difference Makers International /S.A. who forms part of a Global Movement; and here in S.A. since 1983 is the perfect Change Makers global platform designed to give recognition to the people of South Africa who give dedicated time #Changing lives making a difference as their slogan shows. Their International belief and culture is: One person, one community, one country at a time. Teaching Humanity How to Love. I see this happening here in S.A. and it makes me proud to be part of this amazing movement as a nominated Change Maker. I think it is a fabulous platform to change the world. In view of the fact that it is a global platform, it gives us an opportunity to share our expertise and best practice with people around the world as well as learn from the rest of the world. I am excited to be nominated on this platform and I will make every effort reach out to people by touching and changing lives. To help spread the message of love & appreciation make a remarkable and visible impact in the culture of Change Makers indeed. It is amazing to see how many lives are impacted through this. The value of this is so important, because it inspires ‘the people’ to do more and to never give up on making a difference. As Top 100 SA Difference Maker I too now can be part of the Global Movement to help spread the message of love and appreciation to the community, workplace and into society, especially with what we do at Turning Point, in what we do as Change Makers. To be part of this platform indeed empowers me to be the Change Maker I am.
Difference Makers S.A. principle focus is to spread the message of love and appreciation; declaring love for all with no one let out. As a Top 100 SA Difference Maker I am part of this, this motivates me to never give up on making a difference with more impact from now on. There are so many people who touch your life and now it is possible to give recognition and appreciation to those who deserves a small act of love to also allow more people to go out and do this too with the tool, the Blue Ribbon that says: Who I am makes a difference. S.A. needs this. I think it is a fabulous platform to change the world, starting here in S.A. because change starts with me: from one person to another to another as it states in the values of DMI-SA. The Global movement excites me, it gives me an opportunity to share our expertise and best practice with people around the world as well as learning from the rest of the world.
05 October 2018 : Taryn-lee Kearney - Top100 SA Difference Maker Season
“Thank you; Difference Makers SA, for making my light shine brighter! I dare each and every one of you reading this right now; go be M.A.D! Make A Difference - I dare you! You never know what may happen. We live in a day and age where discouragement is all around us. I don’t know about you, but I don’t go a single day without running into someone who is complaining, being negative, or is very discouraged. We can positively influence the path of those around us, whether family, friends, co-workers, or members of the community. Since influence is power, we all have a great responsibility to utilize our influence for the best interest of those in our lives this is where the organisation Difference Makers SA has made a major dent in this universe with greatness. DMI-SA has given us the platform to be the influence and recognise greatness in others which in turn has an amazing ripple effect in this world. As leaders, DMI-SA helps us not only choose to make a positive effect, but to raise the game and invest our efforts in making a lasting impact that ripples beyond the surface. Let’s be intentional about altering the paths of others in a positive way for their long-term benefit. To be memorable is to carve out the gift of a good legacy and it all starts with a choice; a conscious choice that each of us needs to make and recognise greatness in others!
I am proud of you. Obedience is better than sacrifice. You shall surely be rewarded by the Lord. Thank you for nominating me as one of the Top 100 SA Difference Makers South Africa, becoming part of the Global Movement since 1983. But most of all because of your buy-in to God's life-giving vision for SA through ACO. I appreciate your support.Yours in Christ
Top 100 SA Difference Maker, Theresa Vivian Moila. 20 February 2019 writes
Thank you, I' humbled. I do what I do because God gave me a choice to do what He knows is mine, He is my reason. He gave me a new life, new Beginnings, the choice was made... I am in awe what God can do right before your very eyes...
7 February 2019: Cindy Norcott - Top 100 SA Difference Maker Season
I am really honoured and grateful to be nominated as one of the Difference Makers. Being acknowledged on a platform such as this, alongside many remarkable South Africans lends more gravitas to our charity and the work our team does. I would like to thank Difference Makers for promoting and highlighting the good work being done by so many inspiring South Africans and I am humbled to be included.
Through my charity, the Robin Hood Foundation, we get to see difference makers in action every day, through the community workers we collaborate with as well as our own team who volunteer so many hours every week with a smile and great cheer. I love the fact that this organisation is encouraging people to be the change and highlighting those that are out there making a difference.

I would love to be a part of the difference makers organisation as this would be an amazing platform to use as a loud speaker to communicate environmental improvements and initiatives from. We are all global citizens and therefore need to stand together to make a combined change in betterment for communities and the environment. This group of positive difference makers could really make a huge impact if we all used our common goal to make a difference, and in this case, for mother earth, where everybody benefits. Nothing is too big or too small to make a global environmental change.

09 October 2018 : Dr Anneline Chetty - Top100 SA Difference Maker Season
I believe that Difference Makers International /S.A. who forms part of a Global Movement; and here in S.A. since 1983 is the perfect Change Makers global platform designed to give recognition to the people of South Africa who give dedicated time #Changing lives making a difference as their slogan shows. Their International belief and culture is: One person, one community, one country at a time. Teaching Humanity How to Love. I see this happening here in S.A. and it makes me proud to be part of this amazing movement as a nominated Change Maker. I think it is a fabulous platform to change the world. In view of the fact that it is a global platform, it gives us an opportunity to share our expertise and best practice with people around the world as well as learn from the rest of the world. I am excited to be nominated on this platform and I will make every effort reach out to people by touching and changing lives. To help spread the message of love & appreciation make a remarkable and visible impact in the culture of Change Makers indeed. It is amazing to see how many lives are impacted through this. The value of this is so important, because it inspires ‘the people’ to do more and to never give up on making a difference. As Top 100 SA Difference Maker I too now can be part of the Global Movement to help spread the message of love and appreciation to the community, workplace and into society, especially with what we do at Turning Point, in what we do as Change Makers. To be part of this platform indeed empowers me to be the Change Maker I am.
Difference Makers S.A. principle focus is to spread the message of love and appreciation; declaring love for all with no one let out. As a Top 100 SA Difference Maker I am part of this, this motivates me to never give up on making a difference with more impact from now on. There are so many people who touch your life and now it is possible to give recognition and appreciation to those who deserves a small act of love to also allow more people to go out and do this too with the tool, the Blue Ribbon that says: Who I am makes a difference. S.A. needs this. I think it is a fabulous platform to change the world, starting here in S.A. because change starts with me: from one person to another to another as it states in the values of DMI-SA. The Global movement excites me, it gives me an opportunity to share our expertise and best practice with people around the world as well as learning from the rest of the world.

The DMI-SA motto deeply resonates with my chief ultimate goal in life: Being a True Change Catalyst making a heartfelt difference. That starts with a heart decision and I belief that the Country Ambassador, through her efforts to identify the Difference Makers in South Africa, continually demonstrates a fresh approach that exposes and give acknowledgement to like minded individuals and organisations. I am honored and humbled by her continued reassurance that I am worthy. Much as the thought of a public acknowledgement with a Blue Ribbon Ceremony is quite intimidating it is a challenge to continually uphold the dream and strive to make a difference in the lives of the everyday person often overlooked in our quest to realise the vision...#extrepreneur

You have been Nominated. Who you are makes a difference. Someone valued who you are and what it is that you do. Difference Makers SA is a platform for Change Makers who Stand Strong Together as Change Makers. DMI-SA identifies Top 100 SA Difference Makers that is Changing Lives Making a Difference. Not only do you become part of the Global Movement, also will you be able to use this tangible tool to give recognition to people Making a Difference. The recognition that Blue Ribbon ceremonies give to individuals are absolutely amazing. As top 100 difference maker, I donated R500.00 and bought my first 20 Blue ribbons. Since then I have had 4 blue ribbon ceremonies which not only lifted the people I presented the ribbons too, but it lifted my spirits to see how the ceremony changed them. I would recommend DMI-SA to real people making a difference. Congratulations, and I hope you go from strength to strength.

Thank you Julie Steynberg, the Executive Director of Difference Markers SA, for this incredible nomination which came on my birthday month it’s a special feeling and amazing turning point in my life, you are a leader who shares experience and ensures a bright future that leaves a legacy for generations to come and the future we need. Being part of DMI-SA gives me the opportunity to fulfil my purpose in life of serving with love, awaken, inspire and empower others through who I am, as a Creator's child in making a difference. This nomination will surely help enabling me to continue with my passion and the dream I have to reach a quarter part of South Africa’s population.
The award is incredible, and any contribution towards that is just a bonus which I don't see it as a problem but a blessing for a good cause. I am excited to receive the Blue Ribbons as you have mentioned. Thank you once again for recognizing me, I am so proud; and my life is not the same, the recognition received changed things for me for the better and more, my trust all over the world has tripled, and on a local level the next journey looks amazing.
God bless you woman of God who lives by example. Much respect and Love.

A platform is available of Top100 Change Makers in S.A.; a brilliant idea. I'm humbled indeed by this gesture of recognition; it is an honor to be part of this amazing movement in S.A.

The Nomination as a Top100 SA Difference Maker is the deepest honor I have received and had made me realise the power and might of the work that is done by ChangingLivesMakingaDifference. This very same Nomination has fuelled my commitment and passion to Ignite sparks in my mentees and in turn watch them Ignite sparks in others - it truly is as Julie states: to Be the difference for others do cause a ripple effect in and around our lives. I will continue to impact positively on the dynamic South Africans I work with. Some of the feedback received which propels me to incubate greatness in those I work with: "Your mentorship has really unlocked so much potentialnot just for me as person, for the company as well. The more I apply what you say the more I see great results". Through Difference Makers SA I intend to continue to unleash potential and propel my mentees to their highest performance levels. Thank you Difference Makers SA; Julie B Steynberg who has started this initiative, for giving recognition to unsung heroes and heroines of our beloved country, South Africa.

Everything in life that is worth while, always comes at a price. Difference Makers do it for the love of it. They do it not to be thanked, seen or praised. Amazing! One of the few organizations I know of that do it to the example set by Jesus Christ. “Free you have received it, free you must give it”

Sometimes people don't even realise the huge difference they are making and that's what makes Difference Makers so unique and special. Now, with this organisation, it's easy to help the difference makers realise the value they are adding! I would like to give a special thanks to Corien Krüger for nominating me. Thank you for seeing in me what I didn't. Something happens when someone else believes in you! Thank you Julie B Steynberg for driving this organisation with heart and soul. Much appreciated, Lané Bronkhorst

20 March 2017 : Bea Campbell-Cloete - Top100 SA Difference Maker Season 1
Bea says: “When The Executive Director for Difference Makers SA, Julie B Steynberg, notified me of my nomination being nominated as a Top 100 SA Difference Maker, I was very emotional. I did not believe that I have done enough to deserve this nomination. There is still so much to do, however, this will extend my platform even further and for that I am truly grateful. I am forever thankful for this opportunity.
Maya Angelou said: People will not remember you for what you did; they will remember you for how you made them feel. On the emotional levels is where the biggest impact is made in human lives, and this is where the heart of Difference Makers South Africa and difference Makers International lies. Helice Bridges, the Founder of DMI Since 1983 who is the First Lady of Acknowledgment, gave this opportunity to Julie B Steynberg (Pay the Love Forward) and now we here at God’s Butterfly can do this too. How marvellous!
Difference Makers SA: Our mission is to motivate; inspire and empower human potential. One school; one family and one neighbourhood at a time; the idea of this resonates with our mission too (says Bea): ‘one person at a time’.
Bea says: I agree on what DMI-SA states in their mission; this is a mission that is originally geared towards giving our youth their dignity back, lifting them to greater heights and creating a generation of powerful leaders. Difference Makers SA acknowledges, encourages and supports all generations to enable them to dream again. Thank you DMI-SA; for making all of this possible; and the platform available in South Africa.
“I love the Idea” says Bea and she will make sure that from now on people will know how to use a Blue Ribbon to give recognition to others. “The Blue ribbon ceremony started and the difference that is made in schools so far close to my heart”. The Blue Ribbon is used to acknowledge others in their community, school, family or neighbourhood by handing them a ‘blue ribbon’ and telling them why who they are makes a difference in lives and in their community. The ceremony transforms anger, apathy and violence into an environment that is healthy and flourishes. I love the idea and cannot wait to start using Blue Ribbons to do this too. Thank you to Difference Makers SA for giving us the opportunity to use Blue Ribbons and to Pay the love forward too, like the rest of 40 million people in the word so far.
Bea beliefs: “Being a Difference Makers does not mean that you are super special or that you have special skills, everyone around us are potential difference makers once they realise that who THEY are MAKES a difference. I hope you will join us by making a difference with us here at Difference Makers SA”.

“Ignite What’s Right!” That was the slogan that captured my attention and awareness of Difference Makers International. To hear that 44 million people worldwide had their lives impacted in under a minute by being honoured with a beautiful blue ribbon embossed with gold with the words, “Who I am makes a difference”, really sold me on the idea of accepting the nomination by Julie Steynberg to be a Difference Maker in South Africa. To make the Top 100 Difference Makers in South Africa has been a wonderful opportunity to “Pay the Love Forward” into the lives of other people that I meet on a daily basis. It takes a minute or less to acknowledge someone else’s gifts, talents, abilities – who they are really – and to award them a Blue Ribbon of recognition.
Julie Steynberg’s passion and commitment to Difference Makers International and getting the movement going here in South Africa has made all the difference. Her eyes light up and shine when she talks about Difference Makers and indeed the difference it is making in South Africa.
Just imagine if every South African made the commitment every day, to acknowledge and to recognise just one other person for who they are and for their contribution to their company, community or country? South Africa would be a profoundly different place with energised, caring, connected citizens who are committed to making a difference. It is absolutely possible with Difference Makers!

Liewe Julie,
Baie, baie dankie dat jy my aan hierdie besonders spesiale initiatief bekend gestel het. Ek het deur al die besonderhede en "Blue Ribbon Ceremonies" videos gegaan - trane het vrylik gevloei! Dit het my werklik diep aan die hart en gees gegryp. Ek bid God se oorvloedige Seën oor jou en elke persoon hierby betrokke.
Dit is regtig vir my 'n eer en voorreg om deel te kan wees van die organisasie en om bewusmaking te kan help bring vir die ongelooflike werk wat DM SA doen en lewens wat reeds daardeur aangeraak en nog aangeraak gaan word.
