ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD

Every Sunday morning I take a light jog around a park near my home. There’s a lake

located in one corner of the park. Each time I jog by this lake, I see the same elderly

woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage beside her.

This past Sunday my curiosity got the best of me, so I stopped jogging and walked over to

her. As I got closer, I realized that the metal cage was in fact a small trap. There were

three turtles, unharmed, slowly walking around the base of the trap. She had a fourth turtle

in her lap that she was carefully scrubbing with a spongy brush.

“Hello,” I said. “I see you here every Sunday morning. If you don’t mind my nosiness, I’d

love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.” She smiled. “I’m cleaning off their

shells,” she replied. “Anything on a turtle’s shell, like algae or scum, reduces the turtle’s

ability to absorb heat and hinders its ability to move around. It can also corrode and

weaken the shell over time.” “Wow! That’s really nice of you!” I exclaimed.

She went on: “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and

helping these little guys out. It’s my own strange way of making a difference.” “But don’t

most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and scum hanging from their

shells?” I asked. “Yep, sadly, they do,” she replied.

I scratched my head and asked if she did not think her time could be spend better as her

efforts are kind and all, but there are fresh water turtles living in lakes all around the world,

and 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like her to help them clean off their shells.

I said she should not take any offense but I was wondering how exactly her localized efforts

are making a difference.

The woman giggled aloud. She then looked down at the turtle in her lap, scrubbed off the

last piece of algae from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I

just made all the difference in his world.”

The moral of this story is that you can change the world – maybe not all at once, but one

person, one animal, and one good deed at a time. Wake up every morning and actz like

what you do, makes a difference because it does. [Source: “Stay positive” by Joane Geldor, 2013]

GENERAL MONEY SAVING TIPS

In this current economic crunch, here are some good, practical ways to spend your money wisely. Use cash for non-bill spending such as eating out, petrol, and groceries. Spending cash makes your money more real, and prevents you from overspending. Put your cash in envelopes each month and mark them clearly for their purposes. When they are empty, that means your money is spent. If you cannot afford to put R1000 away a month to save, start by putting R50 – R100 away every week. You will not really feel the loss but the reward will pay off at the end of the month. Do not get catalogues or emailed announcements from companies trying to sell you stuff. Their announcements of sales or cool new products make it very tempting to buy something you do not need. You could save a lot of money by just running around the block, track or on the road and maybe by buying some simple weights and bars. Other exercises, push-ups, squats, lunges can be done at home instead of paying an expensive monthly fee for services you do not use.

Eat at home. Make home-made pizzas with a ready–made crust, some sauce, cheese and veggies. Staying home and cooking is much cheaper than eating out. Also, the most overprized item is popcorn, so do it yourself at home. Not only is it healthier, but also a great way to bond with the family and have family nights.

MEET BANYANA BANYANA’S NEW COACH - DESIREE ELLIS

The South African Football Association (SAFA) announced on Thursday that Desiree Ellis will swerve as the new Banyana Banyana coach, after serving 18 months as a caretaker. Under Ellis, Banyana won the 2017 COSAFA Cup in September‚ and the team was awarded CAF’s “Women's Team of the Year of 2017” in January. The announcement was made by SAFA president Danny Jordaan, who said, “She fully deserves the appointment, as she has come through all the ranks of our national teams.” SAFA has already set three goals for Ellis to achieve: qualify for AFCON 2018 in ghana, and make it to both the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. “It still sounds unreal; I honesstly can’t believe it is really happening. It has always been a dream of mine to be the head coach of Banyana Banyana,” Ellis said. Ellis is the only person to win the COSAFA Cup as both player and coach. She is the captain of Banyana Banyana at one stage of her career. Ellis’ first assignment as head coach will be the Cyprus Women’s Cup. The team will depart for Cyprus on Friday, and will play their first match against Slovakia next Wednesday.
