The Dance Of Honor


I dedicate this blog post to my cousin and his new wife Francois and Bianca Rousseau

It is at their wedding reception where at the age of 34 I had my first dance of honor with my mom.
Dew to the rebellious lifestyle I use to live i missed out and never really had the opportunity to do this kind of things at family gatherings...now I thank the Lord for my salvation and I'm amazed at how God is restoring my family life, all that was lost and more. In my self-centered rebellious state I never new what it was to spend time with family and love ones, now God is not only teaching, but allowing me to experience the true meaning of family life...It is never to late and as for the the experience on Saturday past when I had my first ever dance with my mom...I never felt like this before, the dance of honor mother and son...Priceless.

To the newly weds I hope you have a fruitful and prosperous marriage with love and blessing!

Collaboration




Yesterday Cape Town was under a dark winter cloud and Table mountain was almost not in sight,but strong winds did not put a stop to the collaboration of Rlabs, Vote for Table mountain and GivenGain Foundation

We were embarking on our journey to get people signed up as activists for the Vote for Table Mountain Campaign. Fiona Furey who managers the campaign had us all amazed as she presented to us the the riches and splendor of our beloved mountain. She quote that An independent impact report has predicted a R1.4-billion annual tourism bonanza for South Africa if Table Mountain is named one of the New7Wonders of Nature.Then the press had their share in the moment raising random questions about how the rest of South Africa can play their part in the campaign. Collin Habberton from GivenGain and Fiona handled that well.

The Rlabs team was there in full force signing people on the the GivenGain activist platform, and was proud to have The Legacy Program students Genevieve Davids, Megan Trican, Nadien
Bean, Rabia Adamson working with us. They were hands on and got the swing of social media surgery...and not forgetting entertaining the crowd with their vibrant personality's.

We were disappointed that we could not go up the cable car, but still all went well and with much hope we all planing to get the masses to vote for Table Mountain!

The Rlabs team were at their best as always assisting the enthusiastic voters by setting up email accounts to those who needed . By midday word was out and the support was overwhelming... the best part of making history was when local band Freshly Ground showed up to make cast their vote, the atmosphere at that time was priceless.

We got +- 200 votes that is excluding the sms votes and we still busy campaigning.Come let's put our "Wonder" Table Mountain where it's meant to be...One of the 7 Wonders of Nature.
