		<description><![CDATA[The 100k in 10 Days challenge, an initiative by my friend Marelise and her sister Amelia, is going well! The teller stands at nearly R30.000! Not bad for 3 days! But they need more. The Saartjie Baartman Centre for abused women and children in Cape Town is not out of the woods yet, even with the pledged support form the provincial government. So keep giving &#38; spread the word! <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriammannak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=16512147&#038;post=924&#038;subd=miriammannak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the Saartjie Baartman Centre in Cape Town for abused women &#38; children doesn't get R100k (Lotto didn't pay out), dozens of victims of chronic abuse will have to live on the streets or go back to abusers.  To prevent this, the R100k in 10 Days Campaign is looking for 200 ppl to give R500 (±45 euro) by end of May = 20 pledges a day. Be one of them!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriammannak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=16512147&#038;post=912&#038;subd=miriammannak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello. My name is Miriam Mannak. And I am a coffee snob. Indeed: I am a snob, not a slut. As opposed to popular belief, I am not prostituting myself to the first hot, dark, steamy liquid in a cup that comes along. Not a chance. I only sell my body and soul to the real stuff - not to the instant crap or the burnt leaf veggies that are sold and promoted as coffee. The purpose of this blog? Some caffeinated fun to brighten your da. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriammannak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=16512147&#038;post=875&#038;subd=miriammannak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Various individuals and organisations have reacted in disbelief over the past few days with regards to the Trump sons shooting spree in Zimbabwe. Stephen Lamb from Touching The Earth Lightly is one of them. Being a good friend of mine, and someone who is doing his fair bit for a greener, better planet. Last week he sent a letter to Freddie Oosterhuis from Hunting Legends International - the company that hosted the Trump brothers.  Unfortunately, Freddie's response was riddled with profanities. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriammannak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=16512147&#038;post=864&#038;subd=miriammannak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And now, they have to go "home".  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriammannak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=16512147&#038;post=778&#038;subd=miriammannak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
