What started as a far fetched dream is finally coming to reality as TANZICT and RLabs have partnered with Iringa Living Lab to initiate social innovations that can impact people's lives in a myriad of ways.
Iringa Living Lab is one of the pioneer living labs in Tanzania. Yesterday, the first community training took place on how to use social media to expand their social networks and benefit from the opportunities of globalization and technology.
There was much excitement as some participants touched the computer for the first time. Indeed it was a Eureka moment for many who had always thought computers are for a select class of people. The training took place at Tumaini University, one of the key partners in the Iringa Living Lab.
Brent, a consultant from RLabs shared his story of how his life was transformed thanks to RLabs that opened doors of hope to people in his community who had lost direction. His story touched everyone in the room.
There is now new energy.
What a difference Hope makes!

ReplyDeleteHi Rene, thank you very much. Indeed we missed you,but thanx for sending Brent, we had a very good time. Yesterday and today we had another training on entrepreneurship, which has gone very well. I like the attitude, we had a group of about 15. Agreed to meet again after two weeks, each member bringing two more people. We want it to be self sustaining just as RLabs.
