Havana for Charity

We’ve been having a conversation with our colleague Laura about Havana’s organization and how they could really benefit from our support. We decided to dedicate space on our website for Havana here.

Who’s Havana anyways?

Woof, I am Havana, a greyhound, and I am in training to soon help people with diabetes (type 1) notice and thus treat especially low blood sugar levels as early as possible. My big family of seven siblings and I were rescued from a township in Cape Town, South Africa. One of my sisters and I were then taken in by “Honey’s Garden For Medical Alert Dogs SA”, the first NGO in South Africa to train medical service dogs.

Woof woof! I live with Laura, a Project Manager at MSS, and I am collecting donations for my cause! Whoever can support Honey’s Garden in my name, donate here. Every little bit helps so I can continue to receive support until the end of my training. Many thanks!

If you’d like to find out more about me and my NGO Honey’s Garden you read about us here.

Bunte Denkaufgabe

Manchmal spielt uns unser eigenes Gehirn Streiche, so auch bei dieser kleinen Übung: versuchen Sie einmal, nur jede Farbe zu sagen, in der ein Wort geschrieben steht, und nicht, die Wörter vorzulesen – die gemeinerweise alle Farbwörter sind. Beispiel: wenn sie Grün sehen, sagen sie „Rot“.
Es ist nicht gerade leicht, und ohne etwas Konzentration macht man leicht Fehler, ohne es richtig zu merken.

Xhosa and Zulu

The MSS team has always prided itself in celebrating a multitude of languages and cultures. Towards the end of 2014, the team proudly added two more languages to their in-house team. “Djavo” and “Sawubona” can now be heard in the morning, as the two new project managers greet the team in their home languages: Serbian and Zulu.
