Geeky Moms

These moms are the babies of  technology they done their first steps to becoming techno friendly. They  have also shared about their time spend here at Rlabs and how they need to get totally clued up with  what cyber space has to offer. The moms are ready to take it a level up to becoming the geeky moms. This year has been very rewarding  for these moms they were taught to think out if the box and yes even to take out whats up their sleeves and applying it to their lives. They have learned to blog ,skype and even tweet , What do you know from thinking the mouse is real to navigating their way with the mouse on the laptops here at Rlabs.

On Saturday the geeky moms shared their feelings of  what they have accomplished this year, Melanie one of the geeks shared about her three year old son who was born with  cerebalpalsy,   this was very difficult for her to come to terms with and she was in a depressive  state ever she could remember. Melanie said Rlabs was the place where she found healing and could have some alone time. Each of the  geeks got a turn to share  their thoughts and feelings they were  full of gratitude and thanks giving towards the Rlabs team for empowering and enriching their lives with wisdom and friendship, The geeks was the moms who attended the 4.0 classes earlier this year, they will be leaving with two certificates one for mos4.0 classes and another for the advance class. The geeky moms are  very excited for the graduation and cannot wait to dress up. Next year some of the geeks will become facilitators and help with the new moms coming to these classes. The second last week for the geeks at

This morning I took the time to read some of the blogs of my fellow Mom 2.0 students at RLabs. We've certainly shared much more than learning about computers and Social Media.. we've grown rich by listening and empathysing with each other. We also had a lot of fun and laughter in class and those chats after class were also encouraging when we felt a bit hopeless or depressed. Thanks RLabs also for all the FREEBEES and the lekker coffee , tea and the goodies to eat.. always so beautifully served and done with such great love. Thanks to the people who clean up after us.. God Bless you all. Now when we look back we can say: "Even though I don't know how to do certain things on the PC we can always turn to someone from RLabs". Although I'm sad that we have only 2 more weeks in class I'm looking forward to the Graduation which I know will be wonderful. Luvees to all my RLabs friends.

On Saturday ,November5,2011 was a day of excitement and nerves when Craig Ross and Carla Ferreira did the iRanD4Hope campaign where they had to run from the  foot of Table Mountain to RLabs in Bridgetown, (Athlone). Craig  and Carla started running  at 9:30 am. Their journey took them along the route of  Kloof Street then Buitengracht and Strand Street, on the corner of Strand and Buitengracht at Mike’s Sport they took a ten minute break then proceeded towards Bridgetown. The pressure was on for Craig as he got to Sir Lowry Road heading towards Woodstock at this point he said he felt like giving up. His body was giving him negative signals. Craig an inexperience runner who never had formal training prior to the campaign said he only had trained for  four days before the Saturday of this race. His only means of training has always been soccer training and that is what made this race possible. In his heart he knew the time to give up has not yet come , The team assisting the run

Lilian Patricia George a seventy five year old mom and grand mother  is one of the oldest women attending the Rlabs Our 75 year old mom and grand mother academy. She learned about the academy via Monique and Rene who gave a motivational speech at their club called (University of the third age). Lilian says her interest was to know more about Skype, because  her daughter is living in Canada and had been encouraging her to get herself a laptop  so that they could communicate via Skype. She said their group gets together once a month and did not know much about technology, this is when Rene and Monique was asked to come and teach the group a bit about social media. Rene shared about RLabs and their role in the community. Monique shared her testimony and they did a live demo with the group about various social media tools. Lilian said their group then decided to join Rlabs on a Saturday morning to gain more  knowledge on modern Lilian in class technology. They are a gro
