Make every day a world
Rose Heritage Day!
Too many War commemoration Days
Dot the hearts of too many people
Who should be making love instead
Of shooting each other

In the streets and the jungles!
Clear our skies of those warplanes!
We don't need your warships in our seas!
We don't want your tanks pointed at us
In the world that God gave to us as His
Eternal gift! Are you listening MR. President?
Make every day a Rose Kissing Day
Make every day a Rose Beauty Appreciation Day!
Relax mister president we come with messages of love!
Remove your tanks from our streets!

Let the imaginary enemy sink your warship in the sea
It's alright with us we have the rose to protect us
From gunships of the enemy
Wake up you politicians you have lied too often to us
You're beginning to believe your own propaganda!
Wake up lovers make the world free place
For the rose to roam free and fill the hearts
Of the lovers with pollution free passion!

We demand it! It is our birth right! We're tired of war!
Let the lovers meet anywhere where they like under
The laughing approval of the happy rose!

Empower your mind

 

                       Empower your mind

So often we lack self-motivation and allow our family background to determine our future. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints also known as the Mormon Church, has taken a step in empowering young minds to build their stable future.

your back round doesn't determine your future, by powerful motivational speakers 

“My belief is that personal freedom cannot grow beyond personal responsibility. The more people that learn to be fully accountable for their lives, the more freedom each of us can enjoy and the more fulfilling all of our lives will be.”

Ross Parmenter Anthropologist

 

A survey was compiled in Kwa-Thema a local community in the East of Gauteng, whereby a big number indicated a lack of reading, lack of education and information which results to an increase of unemployment teenage pregnancy and teenage drug and alcohol abuse.

 

 Sister Maggie Mlangeni and Sister Helen Makhanya from the Mormon Church organised the career workshop, with the aim of assisting high school students to receive a clear guideline in furthering their studies and gaining necessary skills. I must say this is a good initiative that needed that will bring change in the local community, as we know knowledge is Power.

Companies such as ABSA, Nedbank and the institute of the University of Johannesburg, took part in this initiative. Students were addressed on student loans, bursaries, internship and           some information which was passed on included saving and spending money and investing it. For a first attempt the career workshop went well, with a welcoming number of students which came through.

Students were pleased with the career workshop and all the information they received, that is the feedback we received. Thanks to our guest speakers which were young, entertaining, vibrant and motivating. I must say, your background doesn’t determine your future and the two ladies did an outstanding job.

It was decided that the workshop will be hosted annually. We hope more companies will take part in joining us for the career workshop. To empower ourselves as the second and third generations we need to instil the culture of reading and empowering ourselves.

Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield (1831 - 1881), July 12, 1880
