SHOUT...

So, this evening was a very interesting one, in a sense that I got highly challenged. Allow me to elaborate...

I live in what is called a Live 'n Learn house. The Live, Listen & Learn project is one where people from various backgrounds are placed intoa house together where they, well, live, then listen and learn from one another. Each house has a theme to work around. The theme of my house is Influence as a Tool for Ethical Leadership...

So, this evening we had a house meeting with the co-ordinator of the project, and he challenged us to be more reflective in our writing... I admit, I've been a bit of an informational blogger, but I did start blogging so that I can question more and share my version of the answers...

So, you can expect a little more thought input when it comes to these posts... :)

After (the meeting), I went to Maties Talent final where my friend, Christian Sittmann (also, future bandmate (!!!!) even if he doen't know), performed. As Sittmann was last, I got to listen to all the other peeps and watch them dance & act... And it was wonderful. And it hit me... Why am I not there? Up on the stage where I actually love to be... I don't actually have the answer as of yet, but I'm hoping to rectify that situation as soon as possible.

But now to the point of my long story... In the middle of the show Kabelo, a famous South African artist, came and spoke to us about SHOUT. THeyuse music to raise funds for the Shout Foundation, which helps with reducing crime in SA. Having been robbed last week, I found myself really interested in their project. They perform a really cool song & get everyone involved and then they sell it to raise funds. To get the track, sms VOICE to 49300 and donate R20.

It's also a really great song. Do your bit for your country, even if it's not this. Which ties into what Trevor Manuel said when he was in Stellenbosch. Do your bit for your country. If you sit back and do nothing, you have no right to complain and if you are doing something, complaining is just a negetive bringer down of our country... just saying...

Deep Post Out.
