Ketakandriana Rafitoson — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 05:01:00 +0000

I underwent breast surgery last Monday and, as a mother of four, aged 12 to 2, I was terrified. Terrified not to be able to make it, terrified to be left with terrible injuries, terrified of being left with a disability. This terror was because I live in one of the poorest countries of the […]

Giving Tuesday was created to transform how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season. It has become an international movement around the holidays dedicated to giving, in the same way that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now synonymous with holiday shopping. After the frenzied commercialism of Black Friday sales (that now […]

SOUTH AFRICA: What is Love?

Mamma Simona (South Africa) — Fri, 12 May 2017 05:00:05 +0000

What is love? I believe that each one of us understands “love” differently. Our upbringing has a lot to do with the way we show our love to others, and in the way we interpret loving gestures. Sometimes this leads to hurt feelings and misunderstandings. In this era of internet communication there are myriad ways […]

SOUTH AFRICA: Crime Hits Too Close for Comfort

Mamma Simona (South Africa) — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 08:00:17 +0000

Crime is not part of my daily life. I live in a middle to upper-class neighbourhood in Cape Town. We have an active Neighbourhood Watch, and most of the people in my neighbourhood also belong to the Community Policing Forum (aka CPF). The CPF has monthly meetings where we discuss crime stats, share self-defence tips […]
