Welcome back to work, school, and…normalcy. Summer is gradually coming to a close, and dissipating along with it (thankfully) will be the simmering heat.
What’s cool – is the excitement that abounds, as our community gets back in gear, planning projects, events, socials and enterprises. This issue is packed with people’s ideas, dreams and ruminations. Students are vetting their voices in the back to school pages. We also have the intrepid parkour jumpers who redefine the physics of gravity, talented Emirati designer Hend Almutawa who is innovating the abaya, and Khumo from South Africa who has won a spot as a MasterChef finalist and now has ambitions to land African cooking firmly on the world cuisine map.
In response to appeals from our readers, we launch two exciting initiatives to help support our community. One is Tempo Cause – intended to support your crowd funding appeals (check out page 27). Our aim is to act as a catalyst for those projects we believe in. So send us your ideas, and we will try to help.
The second initiative is the Tempo Club card. Through this platform our hope is to keep you informed of what’s hip, hot and happening. Be sure today register at www.tempoplanet.com/club.
Have a great time easing back into the routine 🙂
