The Knights Youth Centre annual report summarizes the organization's activities over the past year. It provides opportunities, role models, and support for young people in South London through a variety of programs and services. Notable events included trips to the Dominican Republic and Rwanda to assist partners, as well as celebrating the center's 75th anniversary. The TYLAP apprenticeship program continues to provide training, qualifications, and employment for young people to pursue careers in youth and community work.
What a truly special 2013 we have had!
I am touched by the many opportunities given to us to facilitate change in our challenged communities in South Africa, I experience so much love, so much joy and a deep connectedness. I am grateful for a very special team of Change Agents that selflessly reach out to touch and teach, simply because they know deep within what it means to both laugh and cry, to rise and fall and experience life in and through its seasons. What makes the difference is the understanding of that each season has its own teaching and once we tap fully into the lessons it comes with we can taste the sweetness of its fruit - deep within us - and we can trust that nothing is there without a reason.
2013 has reminded me of meeting in our shared humanity and that we are not here to do it on our own. Let us travel together! BE together. Nelson Mandela and his legacy inspires this in us - to keep living true to our hearts, that inner deep calling, voices that truly cares, voices that heal and reach out to each other, voices that builds a healthy nation on equality and love. And as we say our goodbye to one of the greatest leaders of our time we also embrace the opportunity to fuel each of our steps with greater awareness and a much broader "WE Consciousness".
May you enjoy our newsletter and tune into the energy of an inspiring season in our SmilingOne Foundation.
We look forward to share much more with you in 2014.
Happy New Year!
Love & Gratitude

Reboot Podcast #38 - Plant seeds of your life - With Congressman Tim Ryan on ...rebootio
Congressman Tim Ryan is our guest for Episode 38 of the Reboot Podcast. Tim is a special guy, and not just because he’s a congressman, and not just because he’s from Ohio – though that’s pretty great too – but because he’s committed to bringing heart, humanity, mindfulness and a long-term focus into a space that doesn’t always welcome it: government. In this conversation (originally recorded in November), Tim shares his journey to mindfulness, his ongoing practice in noticing his own inner conversation, and his commitment to mindfully planting seeds for the future and having the patience to watching them grow.
The document provides reflections from an individual on their 38 years of service as the Executive Secretary of the North Carolina Bar Association. It begins by describing how they started in the role in 1973 with modest means but high hopes. Over the following decades, the organization grew substantially in membership and staff. The rest of the document lists 143 brief pieces of advice and observations the individual has gathered over their career working with different Bar presidents and boards.
The summary provides an overview of the Strelitzia Toastmasters Club's 2014-2015 year as described in the President Carolann Louw's message:
1) The year presented many challenges for the club including changes in officers, moving venues twice, and an increase in membership fees.
2) Despite these challenges, the club has continued to meet regularly, assist with youth leadership programs in schools, and represent the club at area contests.
3) Members have worked hard to achieve personal and club goals, resulting in a very good year for the Strelitzia Toastmasters Club.

Reboot Podcast #19 Building a House of Belonging with Tanisha Robinsonrebootio
What’s it like to find your path of authentic service in the world? What if you could use the pain of the past, a pain of not knowing where you fit in, of not knowing where you belong to propel you toward work that makes a difference? What if you could create a place of belonging? Well, it might look a lot like what Tanisha Robinson is building with Print Syndicate.
Started just 2.5 years ago with 8 people, Print Syndicate now has over 140 employees and will generate more than $20M in revenue this year. But the company isn’t just about shirts and home goods, it’s a place where people (including a black, gay, woman from a Mormon family of 7 in a small town in Missouri) have a place to self-identify and a place to belong. As Tanisha shares, running a company fueled by your passion to make the world better is both exhilarating and heartwrenching.
