The initial project started 2005, with the objective of raising One Million Rand for a Hospice
based in Durban, simultaneously raising the profile of the institution and its dedicated staff.
This was achieved by the collective efforts of twelve women who carried out fund raising
activities for a year, culminating in the climbing of Kilimanjaro.

The second project, is to raise funds for The Tusk Trust. Besides the financial
benefits to the Trust, of which Prince William is the Royal patron, the objective is
to increase awareness of the Trusts projects and the plight of the Rhino in
Southern Africa.
One of the fundraising initiatives was that a group of women competed in the
Lewa half marathon in Kenya. So far the project has gained significant media
interest and public support. Celebrate Lifes efforts also have the backing of the
KwaZulu-Natal based Sharks Rugby Team.

As Celebrate Life SA has developed, it has become apparent that in order to enable real
change, the group must focus their energy on motivating and mobilising as many individuals as
possible in order to align goals and to attract as much attention as possible.
Identifying and adopting an appropriate cause and
providing solutions that are based on sustainable
principles and integrity will naturally gain the respect
of the supporters of the causes of Celebrate Life SA.
Our solutions are arrived at through extensive
dialogue and the mutual respect that exists between
members results in us approaching all challenges
with honesty, humility and the expertise that they
deserve.

ERENCE
While walking along a beach, an elderly gentleman saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking
something up and throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young
man, picking up starfish one by one and tossing each one gently back into the water. He came closer still and
called out, Goodmorning! May I ask what it is that you are doing? The young man paused, looked up, and
replied Throwing starfish into the ocean. The old man smiled, and said, I must ask, then, why are you
throwing starfish into the ocean?To this, the young man replied, The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I
dontthrow them in, theylldie.
Upon hearing this, the elderly observer commented, But, young
man, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and
there are starfish all along every mile? You cant possibly make a
difference! The young man listened politely. Then he
bent down, picked up another starfish, threw it
into the back into the ocean past the breaking waves and said,
It made a difference for that one. This simple story illustrates
how easy it is to make a difference. No matter how great the
challenge, the Celebrate Life SA community can and will make an
impact through our tenacious sense of responsibility, our commitment
and our passion for life!
