Weekly Report as Steem Representative, 23 September 2024

^{Week 78!}

My Steemian friends,

This week was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. Umh… now that I think it was more of a gentle, lopsided ride with hardly any ups at all. Sometimes life throws us a curveball, and it feels like nothing much happens, leaving us in a bit of a slump.

South Africa was “snowed under,” which resulted in our province going into a lockdown as the roads were closed. Guests could not check out and new guests could not check in; our electricity was down for nearly 48 hours, and to crown it all, all three of us landed up in bed with the flu. Me also with bronchitis. This resulted in limited activity on Steemit.

Yet, even in those quieter moments, there’s always something to reflect on.

World Smile South Africa

As per my previous feedback, there was a request that we meet in the first week of October.
The heavy rainfall and no shelter made it impossible to hand food out on Saturday, but at least Sunday was a different story.
