Akon Lighting Africa

I keep hearing that if you actually write about things that actually matter, things that can change your life and others' lives for the better, nobody actually reads what you write. Well, at chew more eat less we are not trying to change people; we merely write and publish content that we believe in and advocate for; so that those that think like us can know they are not alone. It is through the sharing of  authentic thoughts that one realizes that we are not alone; crazy people run this world because they crazy enough to share their thoughts without remorse.

I haven't heard much about Akon in mainstream commercial media for a few years now - I'm not the biggest Akon fan - maybe because his actually busy doing things that really matter. Be that as it may, I have become a fan for the lonely hit-maker's latest project. The project has the potential for development and uniting Africans.

His latest work involves providing electricity to the 600 million Africans who are without electricity. Akon, Thione Niang and Samba Bathily have formed a partnership to form 'Akon Lighting Africa' an organization aiming to help the 600 million Africans without electricity. Akon Lighting Africa aims to provide solar electricity to African people and South Africa can learn from this initiative.

sleep less read more

Books are amazing! With new technologies such as tablets disrupting markets, which some will argue are potential threats to actual books, books are still around and with many of us loving the feel and smell of books they should still be around for a while. So whether you want to read an actual book, read on your smartphone, on a kindle or even a tablet, the numerous platforms to read make it impossible to make excuses but to read.

We are living in the age of information and you just can't afford to not be reading, infect its almost impossible to not read. You are a target group for commercials, these commercials come to you either head on or through your periphery which your subconscious has tabs on, words will find you! The trick is to by all means possible have some control of what you read and consume. 

Making a conscious decision to read a book of your choice can consume a lot of time, but its all worth your time. Below are some of the 15 life-changing books you can read in a day found in an article from Times magazine. The idea is to encourage the culture of reading, not because we want to save time and read a book in one day, but read because reading is pleasant, because reading invigorates your mind the same way exercise invigorates your body.

vida e caffé chews more and eats less

The team at the Cape Town vida e caffé is helping currently with supplies for the Cape fire heroes. Its awesome to be able to share stories of inspiration like this; especially with the aid of the cooler weather and rain we saw today.

Indeed a situation where we needed to chew more (think critically) and in so doing eat less (minimize further risks) ultimately ensuring sustainability for people directly and indirectly involved in the Cape Town fires. To all those who have helped with the fires we salute you!!!

Cape Town Fire Day 4 RAIN!!!

We are thankful for the light rain in Cape Town today as we having been experiencing cruel fires in the Cape Town mountains (Southern Peninsula in the Western Cape) for the past 4 days.

Whether you believe in a divine force or not, rain over mountains ravaged with flames is a blessing beyond words! #capetownfire 

too much fun aint enough fun

To keep up with the ever so highly paced days of the 21st century we need to always incorporate fun in our daily activities; having a little more fun today is a sure way of seeing to it that today is better than yesterday.

We get old as time passes and some if not most, learn to forget how to have fun.  Children happen to be experts at having fun, fun is congenital but short lived. If you having challenges at the art of fun, next time there's a little chap around learn!
