Imtiaz Sooliman – Be the change that makes SA better Gift of the Givers CEO,

			A plea to citizens be the change
that makes South Africa better.
		

			Light your own candle and spread
light to those in need. Top of the
		

			agenda is a drive to eradicate
poverty.
		

			The current economic climate is
pushing millions to live below the
		

			bread line. Suleman says even the
middle class is taking strain and
		

			going hungry. We've been noticing
that it's not and when we say
		

			hunger, people think it's only
among the poor. There's a large
		

			number of middle class people who
also, just for the sake of
		

			dignity, don't speak out. But we
know from homes that people are
		

			very hungry, and when you get
inside information realized that
		

			for days they've been sitting
quietly being hungry. So yes, it's
		

			a growing problem. The gift of the
givers played a pivotal role to
		

			assist drought stricken areas in
Nels, Manila Bay and Makanda with
		

			water provision. The organization
is now assisting in gauteng. We
		

			are assisting. You know, we got
called by two hospitals, Alan
		

			Joseph and Ray Musa, we just drill
a ball. We got 70,000 liters per
		

			hour at ramamosa Hospital. Sulaman
says the key to restoring humanity
		

			again is by serving others. We
want to change the system. We got
		

			to change ourselves. Altruism, the
commitment has to come from us. We
		

			are the people that corrupt the
system. We are the people that
		

			steer. We are the builder. Could
be greedy. So there's four
		

			cardinal principles that all of us
should imbibe, spirituality,
		

			morality, values and ethics. You
fix that in every in every
		

			individual in South Africa,
everybody will have a commitment.
		

			I mean, several servants. You
can't have a situation where
		

			nurses are stopping patients from
being seen by the doctor. That's
		

			totally against human code,
against medical code, and you
		

			know, and the norms of living.
