“It’s in [the West's] advantage to know what’s happening in Africa because if they don’t come to the party eventually the party will happen without them." ~ Nkosazana Clarice Dlamini Zuma, Chairperson of the African Union Commission.

DAY 4: What In Your Life Are You Under Appreciating?

The Idea: In the course of our lives so many different people support us in different ways and contribute to our sense of joy and community. Today, think of someone whose support you have not stopped to fully acknowledge recently. Consider the ways in which this person adds color and/or comfort to your days. Perhaps it's the person behind the counter at your favorite cafe who always asks how you're doing, or perhaps it's your thoughtful neighbour, or your child's teacher. Whoever comes to mind, see if you can find a way to do something special for them today.
