A Vehicle for Change by Thato Makgolane

The Arc Initiative is a business and leadership project started with the help of Jeff Kroeker (accounting professor) and saw a team of 12 UBC and Sauder students, alumni, faculty and business community members come to my hometown in South Africa to share, learn and build two way life changing stories. Started in May 2010 and rolled out over the summer, the project was based on the philosophy that by sharing knowledge and stories, we not only build a base for creativity but we also inspire and empower each other to go beyond what we thought were limits.
