Tools with Leicester Fixers

Leicester  Fixers won some time ago a £500 voucher to get tools from Ifixit. It was a thrilling gift to receive. This week, I moved forward in defining the toolkit we will order by making some enquiries to Loughborough Fixers as well as Leicester Fixers. Thanks to those who came back to me, I will study your reply and make an order. Even though, there is no plan as such to have any repair event in Leicester in the upcoming year, Thinking about it is a start in possibly doing something about it. 

I also had a discussion with Durgha from Flow Finder about her coaching consultancy services I am considering to use to support Leicester Fixers. She suggested for me to restart our newsletter updating our mailing list about our activities and gather a bit energy there. 

About my personal repair, I returned to Woodgate Computer this week to fetch a data stick and bring some mobile phone. I had four in total. Amongst the four, they took three to give me a quote. Amongst the three, they told me only one is worth repairing. Oh well, I may fix the rest though Leicester Fixers.

What about you? How did your repair week go?

Finding a partner in the making

I love working on projects. I love working with others. When I started to be a volunteer coordinator for Positive Money in Leicester, I wanted to find a partner to create some events on the theme of money. This person had to be reliable, trustworthy and hard working.  I did not find the person through the various meetings and events which I organised or participated in. The individuals I have met were not there to collaborate in the way I wanted. They were looking to gain other social benefits. Eventually, one person revealed herself to be the right partner whilst I was volunteering to support her own scheme: Footpaths, a carbon footprint reduction community-based programme . I run some sessions with her as a co-facilitator. Through our preparation meetings, I shared my vision for Positive Money in Leicester and our two worlds merged. Since then, we are partners. Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

Kidnapper?

A kidnapper is a person who abducts someone and holds them captive, typically to obtain a ransom. There are many kidnappers in one life. Those who love you may be you holding you captive until all is gone. Your work is too taking away your childhood dream so you can keep running on the treadmill. A tree is too, it gives you air. Cut it, you may die. Find and name your kidnapper and weight whether you shall escape or stay. Remember though as you live one another emerge because the definition of yourself does not exist, you are dependent on others and the environment you are in.

Welcome to Social Activator

The purpose of this blog is to log thoughts on social activism, design, marketing and community building as well as to review of fantastic projects within the community which strive to create spaces for people to share knowledge, skills, abilities and fun. My vision is for everyone to come to the recognition that they are social activator. They are change agents. They can create opportunities for other to find their own space in this world to create a better present for themselves but also for others. We are all activators. I have plenty of ideas on how this blog will be run. I will probably start where I am now in the UK, Leicester before expanding my reach. I will write down all those ideas and then structure my thoughts before moving to my next action. I keep you posted!
