Hello everyone,

While there is still a certain amount of uncertainty in our lives, the situation seems to be beginning to change in South Africa and globally.
We have had to show courage, tenacity and even ingenuity in many areas, in the way we work, in being alone or with our families, in how we look after our children, or we channel our stress and emotions in the face of this health crisis that has turned our daily lives upside down.
We wanted to hear your feedback on these last few months in South Africa.

What will you remember from this very special period?

Have these unusual times allowed you discover things about yourselves or your loved ones?

Did this period lead you to make changes in your lifestyle that you would like to maintain in the future? If so, which ones?

How do you plan for the future in South Africa? Have the last few weeks caused you to review your priorities or certain projects?

Thank you for your contribution and take care of yourself,

Loïc

Contrary to most people living in uncertainty, the situation allows me more time to focus in being productive in my project.
I could say that I am fortunate and grateful to thrive in times of uncertainty and continue to serve more people by uplifting to a greater ground.

Having working with the people there, I discovered that the people in south Africa is unique in their own ways, having 1st world mentality with 3rd world work paired with desire in making a difference. This is something I rarely find it in my home country in Southeast Asia.

People will continue to doubt what we do, but this will not stop us from growing better and greater as the time goes.

I am driven to help more people emerge from the pandemic to discover what they are capable of improving lives of many.

Thanks for creating this discussion, Loic, do take care, God Bless, stay safe.
