There are conversations that are difficult to have, yet they are the very conversations our country cannot afford to avoid. This year's Mandela Day initiative at St Stithians Girls' College began with one of those conversations. We were reminded that creating a better world does not always begin with extraordinary acts. Sometimes, it begins with listening. Sometimes, it begins with showing up. And sometimes, it simply begins with reminding another person that they are not alone.
