The Art of Possibility
“A man is what he thinks about all day long.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I attended a business breakfast network group in Cape Town yesterday. Met some interesting folks and also had the privilege of listening to Ronnie Muhl (In May 2007 Ronnie Muhl became the 7th South African to summit Mt. Everest via the north east ridge.) on his expedition and challenges.
Not usually one to do this, but a supporter of good causes. Remember Chaeli, or the Chaeli Campaign? Chaeli is the little girl who was born with Cerebral Palsy and by the age of 9 and a bit years needed a motorised wheelchair as she had developed a degenerative neuropathy which left her unable to use the muscles in her arms and legs to their full potential. This vibrant young child, together with some friends decided that they were going to raise the money themselves. 7 weeks later they had managed to raise R20 000! Having achieved their goal, Chaeli and her friends did not stop there, and formalised the campaign as an NPO to help other children in need.
They have been successfully making a difference to others in need, this year marks the 4th year of the Chaeli campaign.
To toast the last four years, Chaeli’s 14th birthday, and to raise additional contributions to the campaign Ben and Roz Zander will host a fundraiser in support of her living proof of the “art of possibility”.
What to Expect:
- A 30 minute presentation by Ben and Roz about a framework of possibility
- A powerful peek into youth empowerment
- Inspiring singing, dinner and dancing
Tables of 10 at R10,000.00
