IGNISIVE launch

17 February 2022

Today we had the privilege of living into our Ignisive vision …by going into the heart of a community to begin supporting the dire systemic challenges and rally various stakeholders to join our authentic collaborative journey.

We are exceptionally grateful to all the various Community leaders / stakeholders, especially our teams (present and future) between Camps Bay and Kalksteenfontein, for taking the time out of their busy schedules to join forces for the greater good.

Firstly to Mrs Haman and all the teachers and children from Kalksteenfontein Primary School…thanks for allowing us to share this experience with you.

Huge thanks to Jean-marc Johannes for sharing your inspiring life story about making your dreams a reality…and today being South Africa’s most awarded skateboarder, first international Gold, silver & bronze medalist and 7 times Guinness World record holder.

We are so proud of you and grateful to have your support.

Thank you Captain Arthur Minnaar (Author of ‘When People Serve) South African Police Service for sharing your incredible journey and encouraging our Children’s safety.

To Camps Bay Community Policing Forum and Bishop Lavis CPF and Bishop Lavis SAPS for supporting our efforts in finding proactive ways to improve community safety.

Llewelyn (and Judah) Scholtz (Founder/Director of G-Citi Campus), with Anzio Genesis Music, for introducing the significant volume of work you’re doing in communities (especially Elsies River), by providing empowerment of digital skills and the adoption of technology in both personal and professional lives.

We also appreciate and look forward to collaborating with Kim Webster (WebsterBiz Consulting), Rene Hendricks (Rhens Training Institute) and their teams on the Community Safety Champions initiative and extending the reach for greater ways to impact positive change.

We are also incredibly grateful to all our business and community sponsors, as well as various government entities for making today such a positive experience, especially for the school children.

Massive thanks to OfficeBox (Wayne Jacobs) for sponsoring over R25000 worth of stationary for the school and helping us prepare the tools (Your School Box), for the Vision box workshop and diaries (initiated and autographed by Jean-Marc Johannes) for the Grade7’s.

Special thanks to Kevin and Linda, from Germany, who kindly contributed towards these journals and the workshop with the children.

Thank you kindly Mr Kariem Candy Way Trading for the smarties for all the children to symbolize how we all may be different on the outside but inside we are the same.

Thanks to WOOLWORTHS for personally delivering and serving lunch packs for the Kids and to Mountain Falls for the water donation.

Thanks also to Pick n Pay Camps Bay for the muffins and refreshments for the guests/teachers and to Pedro and Fiona Bosch for assisting with the delicious platters and being such key role players in the work we collectively do for our homeless communities on the Atlantic Seaboard.
