FROM THE LEARNER SUPPORT OFFICE

“Carry out a random act of kindness with no expectation of reward safe in the knowledge that one day, someone might do the same for you.” – Princess Diana

In Learner Support we have a drive to treat others how you would like to be treated. The thought of “what is in it for me?” should never occur to anyone if they have decided to be kind. Kindness is an act of “humanness from one person to another.” Kindness should come naturally to us but sometimes we need encouragement or ideas to get us started.

In Galatians 5: 22 – 23 we read “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Let’s spend the next few weeks of this term focusing on doing random acts of kindness as everyday actions as our canine friends in the cartoon above share with us.

YADAH

We pray for those who are facing physical challenges, sickness and injury, that God may grant them the strength to endure their pain and the patience to persevere through their recovery. May the Lord’s healing hand be upon them, guiding the hands of doctors, nurses, and medical professionals who care for them. We also pray for their families and we ask for God’s wisdom to guide us as we pray for healing, knowing that His will is perfect.

CASUAL DAY

The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) is proud to announce that the 29th Casual Day will be celebrated on 1 September this year!

This year's theme is so easy to practise daily: Share a smile!

William Arthur Ward said, “A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.”

At Midstream College we are proud to support this deserving fundraising project by making Casual Day stickers available at R20 each at Tuck In. Please note that cash only will be accepted as payment for the stickers.

What to wear:
On Friday, 1 September 2023, the NCPD calls on everyone in your area to smile beautifully to help make South Africa a friendlier place.

It is also Spring Day and we are very happy for our learners to wear casual clothes and should they wish to wear a flower in their hair, this is also encouraged.
