Striving to, moment-by-moment and day-by-day, render service unto humanity: to add value in my spheres of influence and to contribute to the quest to make the world (my country and continent in particular) a better place than what it was when I entered it - more humane, peaceful, just, and sustainable. Committed to the on-going and never-ending task of achieving social justice. Becoming a dreamer of the day.

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream at night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find that it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible." - T. E. Lawrence

"We cannot wait for great visions from great people, for they are in short supply. We must each light our own small fires in the darkness." - Charles Handy

Camille Fredericks, 24, Bishop Lavis, Honours Industrial Psychology, University of the Western Cape. Ambitious, bubbly, dancer, team player and being groomed as a young South African leader.

I am Anna-Marie. I am currently doing a Postgraduate Diploma in Sustainable Development at the Sustainability Institute at the Lynedoch Ecovillage. I have a BSc Conservation Ecology. I plan on registering for the Institute's MPhil programme in 2014. I quite like learning and writing so for now being a student is exactly what I want to be!
I grew up in Stellenbosch, but due to my father's profession (he's an academic), I also spent a considerable amount of my childhood in Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany mostly).
I work part-time for the University of Stellenbosch's Centre for Student Communities as a multi-cultural educator. The challenge is how to facilitate conversations, challenge mindsets and enable behaviour that is inclusive, open to diversity and allows students to engage with leadership in a pluralist environment. I find it an excellent accompaniment to my studies in sustainability.
One of my other projects this year is the Berg- en Toerklub (BTK), the university's hiking and outdoor adventure club. I am the chairperson and we've just celebrated our 85 year reunion! Really proud to be a third generation BTK member. I am the first woman chairperson ever, an unexpected honour!
I am really excited about being in the class of 2013 for SAWIP, so I'll be trying my best to document my experiences on this blog.

I often fear my personality does not translate well into black and white. I've been called "loud" a few times and my laughter has been known to resonate in the chests of people who surround me. I have a deep love for theater and the arts and its uses in people centered development. I am currently a postgraduate student in theater directing and drama education at UCT. I love working with people and intend to work as a community theater practitioner once I graduate.
