||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
It's hard to believe that two(2) years have now passed since May 2005 when this website first came online as the home of the Self-Development Academy(SDAc) Limited on the WWW(World Wide Web). Incidentally, it was not until Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 08:38 AM that I formally announced(to subscribers on my mailing list at the time), the launch of a NEW website design which has remained till today. Click HERE to read my very first web log posting announcing the site's new design launch and other posts following it, which give an idea of how I started, and how much things have evolved till now. Below I reproduce a formal explanation of the site's purpose - accessible from the top left of most pages by clicking "View Welcome Message". |

"..the biggest challenge facing most African nations is to creatively adapt ideas to their unique environment." - Mr. Patrick Boateng, Adviser for Africa, US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at the African Internet Summit and Exhibition(AFRINET) 2002, held in Abuja, Nigeria. In the October 20, 2000 edition of Newsweek magazine, Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web(NOT the Internet, which was created 20 years before the web) in an interview expressed his belief that the Internet presents a "real chance" of integrating the Third World with the rest of the world. He narrated a story(told to him by someone who had been a missionary in Africa) about a woman who had taught herself English through the Bible, and subsequently began earning a living by translating documents received in English over the net into the local dialect. As Tim put it, Internet access can enable a person earn income in a way that would not have been possible before, and can even benefit an entire village. He added that there are numerous jobs which are just "information-in, information-out" that anyone anywhere in the world can do if they are given access to the Internet. The SDAc, through this website aims to demonstrate
practically, specific ways any individual or group can successfully
utilise self-development, in conjunction with technology and the Internet,
to empower themselves economically, socially and politically. We will
provide real-world relevant information and education that will equip
our target audience with competencies they need to more frequently achieve
authentic personal successes, and also show them how they can help others
like themselves, achieve similar successes. "I want to be part of
a South Africa and Africa sending out a new message to the world, of
taking responsibility for our own challenges. The world has got used
to a picture of Africa asking for support, with cupped hands. It's time
we create a new image of Africa. It's time that we ourselves start giving
and assert our sense of dignity. We deserve respect. It is time we stop
apologizing for ourselves and acknowledge our achievements". Even though we are engaged in people development and empowerment, the SDAc is NOT - and has no intention of becoming - a Non-Governmental Organisation(NGO). We maintain a profit making focus, and believe that by so doing, we will be better able to empower our target audience with income-generating skills than if we ourselves depended on grants and other unearned income sources to fund our operations. Coming Soon! In the coming weeks, I will be launching two NEW features on this site: (1). A Recommended Resources page - listing websites/books etc I KNOW from using them personally, can help you with your self-development efforts (2). A Testimonials page - reproducing verbatim VERIFIABLY AUTHENTIC handwritten comments and feedback from newsletter subscribers, speaking event attendees, clients etc. If you have any requests/suggestions about useful content that can be included on this site, to help YOU better pursue your goals, I would be GLAD to hear from you. You can use this form to send your message(s) in.
