Hosting my first fundraiser truly opened my eyes and made me realize how fortunate and blessed I am. Since entering the competition, I've learned so much about myself.
Often one gets carried away in a web of daily routine activities and it is so easy to lose focus and drift away from our goals and objectives. Therefore it is important to affirm your goals constantly.
Public speaking has always been my forte and I love entertaining, communicating, motivating and working with people.
My fundraiser (the cocktail evening) was held at Dekadent in Potchefstroom which was the ideal setting for the event. My guests were greeted with a well prepared cocktail whereafter I introduced the Chrysalis Foundation and talked about the Mr South Africa competition.
I was fortunate that the food and beverages were sponsored by L & J Motors and the venue by Perfect People Solutions, therefore all revenue generated from ticket sales will go to the Chrysalis Foundation.
The guests were also entertained by two wonderful artists, Ronell and Stef who performed brilliantly.
I realised the value of giving and motivating.
Conclusively, every individual has the same basic needs and emotions. Everyone just react differently to similar situations. It is our choice how we react to situations and we can control this behaviour.
Wherever we go, we leave a "scent" of our presence. Therefore we should strive to release an essence of positivity, objectivity, love, compassion, passion for life and devotion. This "scent" should be the difference we make in other people's lives.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this remarkable event. I an looking forward to the Lephalale Fundraiser.
