"if you think you are too small to make a difference, you have not spent a night with a mosquito"
- african proverb -
To the ones who dare to dream
What we learn when we are young is who we are when we grow old. We cannot solve our social challenges by retaining the mindset with which it was created. At ihelpu our ideas are new and inclusive, and we are excited about the prospect of creating a brighter future for all. We love what we do, and do what we love.
What we are..
Greenhouse
A greenhouse provides protection and a controlled environment to optimise the growth potential of all greenery in even the most adverse of seasons. We are establishing greenhouses for young talent. It will create an environment where they can grow, learn and be mentored into responsible citizens. An environment where their energy and compassion is combined with exceptional skills, to be used for the betterment of society as a whole.
Collab spaces
The environment is divorced of status and optimised for sharing and collaboration. It is a home away from home – for some it is their only home. Living, loving and learning is encouraged until it becomes an all inclusive mindset that strives for only the highest quality output. Unity as a team is non negotiable, but uniformity is viewed as a weakness. It is in our differences that we find the strength to pursue our shared vision and a common goal.
Young Talent
Youth is not an age, but rather a mindset. There comes a time in a person’s life when they realise that they will be outlived by the trees they plant. We cannot change that reality, but we can ensure that we keep on planting trees even though we might never sit in their shade. There is so much value locked up in the sense of responsibility and compassion that is to be found in our youth. It is a sin against society not to open the doors of opportunity, in order for the young to release their true potential.
The mirror of society
A society will be know by the way it raises its children, treats the poor and takes care of the elderly. Success for one without dignity for all, is unworthy of praise and acknowledgement. ihelpu is creating an environment for young talent, that it wants to see mirrored in society. Your soul is not reflected in what you have, but rather in what others do not have. When you embark on the journey to success it has to include more than just yourself. There is no worth in a full bank account when you are left emotionally empty.
