Have you ever been in a phase when it suddenly feels like lots of things start happening at the same time?
There I was, busy with my brand new writing project today when I noticed I had received an e-mail… from the PRO of Casual Day inviting me to be one of their Goodwill Ambassadors for 2015. I’m really excited about this opportunity as I believe it will enable me to use my blindness to make a real difference in the lives of others living with a disability.
For those of you who don’t know about Casual Day, it is South Africa’s biggest fundraising event for persons with disabilities that is held every year, usually on the first Friday in September. Casual Day raises funds that support a spectrum of various disabilities, reaching some 500 organisations that support those living with disability.
The role of a Casual Day Goodwill Ambassador is to raise awareness of the positive impact that Casual Day makes on the lives of persons living with a disability, and to increase Casual Day sticker sales, thus making a real contribution. The role often includes radio and TV interviews promoting Casual Day… so who knows where it will take me…
