Ed's Note

It is our responsibility as human beings to care for one another. But with the trying times we live in today where everything is rushed and money scarce, it is sometimes deemed difficult.

Giving back does not have to be in monetary terms, you can give back by giving of your time, energy, resources, ideas, the list goes on and on...

So let's start today and adopt some of that extinct culture of giving, whether its sharing your apples with your neighbours or giving the guy at the traffic light a R1.

You've guessed it by now, the theme for our latest Zine is 'Giving Back' and we look at celebrities and companies who use some of their time and resources to give to those less fortunate.

Shaakira takes a look at rapper, Ludacris' Epic Book Drive while Mpendulo writes about the South African Research Network (SANREN) aim to provide every tertiary institution with broadband Internet.

I hope you've found reading our articles as informative as we have.

Until next time!
