A walk to remember

This is my last week here in Johannesburg and what an amazing time this has been.Life is such an blessing and to have lived a month of my life with the people of Jozi was and still is an extreme blessing.

We came here to do some work and empower some people in order that they may empower their community. Touching one life at a time and in time , changing their homes, streets, areas, town and eventually their country. They actually have the world as their aim because they are change agents, bringing change to everything their hands and lives touch.

Yet, to be totally honest with all who reads this post. The people of Jozi who we, Angelo King and myself had to come empower, actually touched, empowered and influenced our lives so much that future generations will be blessed through who we have become in this month.

And I sit and wonder, if these champions of Rlabs Jozi could have a great impact on two total strangers lives who they came to love and know in only a month, " WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO ACHIEVE IN THEIR COMMUNITY, THE REST OF THEIR LIVES "

I am amped up to see what the future will produce and I will be watching this space and so should you.The bottom image is just two of the lives a people bringing hope has transformed forever. People of Jozi, be blessed.

Communities Heart Beat

In the hustle and bustle of the busy Johannesburg city life we find ourselves at the very heart of the community. Where people who has not had the opportunity to complete school or go to university try and make it day by day. People from all ages and nationalities walking the streets in hope to find a job to provided an income for their families.

The view from RLabs Jozi

RLabs Jozi took to the streets today to interview some of this people. We found that unemployment was on everyone's lips. This gave us the opportunity to speak into peoples lives and tell them about the HOPE that RLabs Jozi intends to bring. Education, Empowerment, and skill. This is only the beginning and with the up and coming champions who has embraced the movement we will surely see a changed community.           

New Adventures

It is not easy for some people to take that step of faith into the world of technology.
RLabsJozi  Has embarked on a journey to provide a safe place for people to do just that.


We have been joined by a diverse group of young people that took that step. Coming from different backgrounds and places here in Johannesburg it is interesting to see how they respond to vast world of technology.

Day two of the Introduction to Social Media class gave them a chance to share there experience thus as Blogging was the tool of the day.

Storytelling is a big part of RLabs history and with much enthusiasm the participants go into the swing of thing. We are looking forward to read about all there new adventures.

Happy blogging team Jozi!   

     
   

NEW BEGINNINGS

This was our very first community member who stepped into our space here at Rlabs Jozi to register for the ” introduction to social media ” course we are offering this week. We are extremely exited to see the enthusiasm in the eyes of those who walks through our doors into our creative space.

This is where we will grow, this is where we will empower others and this space is where we will change the world, one person at a time.

Johannesburg will never be the same again, and if you have the heart to see your community changed, you are welcome to become a change agent, and as a wise man once said, ” in order for one to change the world, you first have to change yourself “.

This is it !!!!!!!!
