Techi-day

Today was a very techi-day for me.

I posted my first blog and registered the Sunstyle website with a variety of search engines.
I also visited fellow ashoka fellow, Veronica Khoza and set up her e-mail.

We heard from Marita at ashoka that she had resigned and will be moving to Cape Town. Marita helped us all feel at home at Ashoka and we wish her all the best. e will still be in touch as she is part of the Difference network.

A few weeks ago Sunstyle was asked to assist in the development of Alexandra township, north of Jo'burg. It is a presidential lead project and has not really got anywhere over the past 5 years.

Sunstyle has offered to do Local Economic Development interventions including co-op development, hybrid value chain development and the Business gym coaching, benchmarking and training.

We will keep you posted of developments.

It seems pretty certain that the research project on the Ethics of social entrepreneurship within the catholic tradition will be completed by January 2007. Marilise Smurthwaite from St. Augustine College is enthusaistic about the research.

Tommorrow Dug is going to a meeting with FEBDEV, a training company to see how we can put together a consortium to deliver training in Auxilliary Social Work. It has to be a sustainable project and that means everyone needs to earn an income in the process...
