2022 JCI Mauritius National President’s message Dear Readers, It gives me great honour to address you some few words.

2022 has been a transition year for JCI taking the new direction into consideration. JCI Beau Bassin/Rose Hill has been active in the second quarter through various projects such as Anou Planter, Mindblooms and some training programme with the aim of empowering the community.

We would like to thank JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill for organising the award ceremony of the 2021 JCI Mauritius Creative Young Entrepreneurs Awards at Gymkhana Club during the month of June. It was very interesting to hear from the winners about their journey which was full of struggled ultimately they managed to succeed.

This year, JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill has been entrusted to organise the 2022 JCI Mauritius National Convention. The venue which is Ambre Hotel and the dates have already been voted and the registration will be open soon. We look ahead seeing maximum members of the JCI Mauritius to this unique event.

During the 2022 JCI Africa and Middle East Conference held in June this year, JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill won 2 awards namely Best JCI RISE project for Mindbloom and Best Local Individual Development Program for Go Beyond.

On behalf of JCI Mauritius, we would like to congratulate them for making the Mauritius Flag shining at the Africa and Middle region and also thank them for their continuous support to JCI Mauritius this year. We look forward to their projects for the third quarter of the year under their motto of ‘unlocking Brilliance’.

2022 Local President’s Message Dear Readers, “…Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.”- J.K Rowling We have accomplished a lot in the last few months. We have organised a prize giving ceremony for 2021 JCI Mauritius Creative Young Entrepreneur Award and completion of one of our assigned flagship projects: the 2022 JCI Mauritius Public Speaking Championship.

Our local projects also are in full steam.

And while we have made great progress in our local projects such as Anou Planter, MindBlooms, Skill It Up! and other projects, we have more work to do to achieve sustainable impact. One of our proudest moment so far remains the winning of Best JCI RISE Award for the MindBlooms Project and Best Individual Development Award for the Grow, Think and Go Beyond at the 2022 JCI Africa and Middle East Conference!

When JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill succeeds, the youth succeeds! Our second Flagship project for this year is the upcoming 2022 JCI Mauritius National Convention on 15-16th October.

This project has for theme ‘Lead The Ship’ and promises to be a memorable one! I encourage you all to join us and register.

My team is committed to building a future where young people across Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill and the island are active citizens and keep unlocking brilliance. A massive thank you goes to the editing team for yet another excellent issue. I invite you to discover this edition and happy reading!

Keeping up with the 2022 Local Board

I am proud to see the efforts and commitment of our team for the betterment of our society. All our project directors are doing a great job so that the needs of our beneficiaries are met and developmental opportunities are being provided to create positive change. Thank you to all our stakeholders/collaborators/partners/sponsors for their trust. We promise to always go beyond so as to unlock brilliance!

Nabiil Bhankarally 2022 Immediate Past President

The post of Local President is an interesting challenge but also a huge honour. My experience during these past 6 months has been nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend anyone to take this once in a lifetime opportunity. "We don’t fear the future; we shape it."- Barack Obama

Being Local Vice President has been a great opportunity for me to get to the gist of the organisations, be it on Marcoms and newsletter, or meetings with project directors and helping out at board level. So far, I have been given the platform to express myself for e.g. World Africa Day. It felt very overwhelming at first, but with the support of each and everyone, we are unlocking brilliance.

Having joined JCI Beau-Bassin / Rose-Hill as an aspiring member in June 2021, I was not expecting to take a board membership so soon but then I remembered the saying “Great opportunities don't come everyday - recognize and seize them with every chance you get.”

And that is just a long story shortened of how I became the 2022 Local Secretary.

Local Board Meeting with JCI VP Richard Ojo One of the important aspects during a VP visit is meeting with the local board members. 2022 JCI VP Richard Ojo had the opportunity to exchange few ideas with the 2022 JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill board members on the 28th of May.

Treasury comprises of all bookkeeping tasks, financial records and compliance with local tax and government regulations. A completely new experience for me and so far it’s going great. Don’t be afraid to step foot into the unknown especially in your JCI journey.

Arouna(Azagen) Curpanen 2022 Local Treasurer

It was a very enriching meeting where 2022 JCI VP Richard had the chance to share this own experience starting from just an aspiring member and where he is now.

Each board member had the chance to ask questions pertaining to a better management of their local organisations and the advice received from 2022 JCI VP Richard were crucial.

2022 Africa and Middle East Conference JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill held its EGM at Gymkhana Club in the presence of the 2022 National President Yudhish Rohee, Senators and Past Presidents.

National President Yudhish Rohee remitted the Awards that JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill won at the Africa and Middle East Conference(AMEC).

The award for Best Local JCI Rise project (Mindblooms) was presented to 2021 project director Diksha Kowlessur and award for Best Local Individual Program (Learn, Grow and Go beyond) to 2021 Local President Nabiil Bhankarally in the absence of 2021 project director Aaliya Ameeralee.

Let's keep unlocking brilliance.

Picture 5: Awards won at amec, 6:presenting of awards by 2022 national president yudhish rohee to the 2021 local board

Trust the Journey The MindBlooms Project has been an emotional but impact-driven ride, essentially underpinning the core of the JCI RISE initiative. The Project emerged as a result of the dire need to address heightening mental health concerns within Mauritius, amidst the pandemic and its related paradigm shifts.

Picture 7-11: Africa and middle east conference

The Project's backbone was strengthened by the setup of a panel of field experts who provided guidance and advice to the MindBlooms Team before execution. The Project delivered targeted and impactful activities to university students, the JCI Family and the community at large.

We remain humbled, honoured and grateful to have won the Best JCI Rise Project in the 2022 JCI Africa and Middle East Conference (AMEC). It is a moment of pride for JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill, certainly the cherry on the cake, while our goal for sustained impact remains primary.

Special thanks to an amazing team, to incredible panelists, collaborators, and to all of our well wishers!

AMEC NEWS: Congratulations goes to 2011 JCI Mauritius National President and 2016 JCI Vice President, Senator Ryad Subratty for his election as the President of the JCI Africa and the Middle East Senate Association! Kudos!

PROJECTS CORNER

Being an entrepreneur …

I

… s more than being a business owner; it’s a perspective and a lifestyle. The road to entrepreneurship is often a treacherous one filled with unexpected detours, roadblocks and dead ends. There are lots of sleepless nights, plans that don’t work out, funding that doesn’t come through and customers that never materialize. It can be so challenging to launch a business that it may make you wonder why anyone willingly sets out on such a path.

What’s New?

Despite those hardships, every year thousands of people embark on an entrepreneurial journey, determined to bring their vision to fruition and fill a need they see in society. They open brick-and-mortar businesses, launch tech startups, or turn an idea into a new product or service. With the right motivation, inspiration and game plan, you can be a successful entrepreneur, too.

In the end most people entrepreneurship with ideas. But for many, the real entrepreneurship happens internally — with the process of stepping up, having courage, and doing things that you never thought you’d be able to do. By flexing your behavior and learning to act outside your comfort zone, you’ll be well on your way toward achieving your goals.

In this light, JCI aims at encouraging entrepreneurship from diverse backgrounds to solve today’s pressing problems, showing that being employed is just the beginning for enterprising young leaders.

The Anou Planter team would like to thank JCI Mauritius and Projet Societe for giving us the opportunity of sharing about this project to the public.

A presentation by Khaushik Jankee, co-director and research developer, of the Mo Cultura app - a comprehensive library of plants with various other features portraying the modern touch of technology in agriculture.

M

oCultura, a revolutionary platform which aims to change

the mindset of youngsters and the locals in the domain of health and wellness. As per latest figures published by the Ministry of Health in Mauritius, we are having an increasing number of people suffering from non-transmitted diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and other chronic illnesses impacting health systems and lifestyle. Despite numerous attempts through health campaigns conducted by the Ministry of Health to encourage the population to exercise and consume healthy food, there is still a big gap to bridge. Currently, the MoCultura team is working on several projects which aim to improve and promote a healthy lifestyle for the generations to come.

Our first milestone is to educate the population, especially youngsters on how to grow their own produce at home sustainably with adequate methods and tools. Our inspiration derives from the aging population of local farmers, and this triggered a train of thoughts leading us to think that in the future, we would be solely dependent on imports of Fresh produce from overseas, which will thereafter impact our economy drastically.

With heightened cost in logistics and demand for food stock globally, there would be a peak in inflation of food prices, impacting the daily life of people, therefore making it harder to lead a healthy life. Our focus has always been to enhance the well-being of communities and increase awareness in being self-sufficient in food, alongside the health industry.

Few words from our collaborator

tor a r o

b lla o c

We have already conducted a pilot project in deploying our mobile application last year in 2021 with the beneficiaries of JCI and the result shows that there is a segment in the market, whereby technology can help in diffusing knowledge and knowhow within the community to create awareness in the food sector. Innovation in this industry will bring progress to our country as well as impacting consumers and local businesses/entrepreneurs in a positive way. Our team is dedicated to bringing nature closer to you with the partnership of JCI beau bassin / rose-hill and other collaborators.

MindBlooms 2022: New Horizons

T

hrowback to last year! When our baby University Project was first

born following the second national Covid-19 lockdown. We were young, unaware of the gravitas of the mental health support necessity.

Fast forward to 2022! The University Project was rekindled in June 2022, with new collaborators, and powerful topics that speak so deeply to our dear audience. But the MindBlooms team is not about to stop there, not at all! We’ve decided to Go Beyond, and Unlock Brilliance by embarking on Phase Two of this project, whereby we move the project from it’s current online state, to a more self-sustaining, in-person model.

As we prepare for this new step, the team is rallying the support of all collaborators and advisors, as well as external support from various associations! We are very excited for this new phase, and we hope to continue to keep creating positive impact on our beautiful Mauritian community.

R

ecognising the importance of

integrating mental health at an academic level is definitely a pivotal moment for the nursing field in Mauritius!

On the 26th of May, Polytechnics Mauritius launched the Diploma in Mental Health in Nursing programme.

The guest of honour, Dr. Kailash Jagutpal, Minister of Health and Wellness lay heavy emphasis on the importance of mental health, and expressed the Ministry's enthusiasm to continue supporting such endeavours.

This is highly encouraging for the MindBlooms Mental Health initiative of JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill, as we strive to destigmatize mental health in Mauritius, and improve the emotional wellbeing of people.

Project director Tasneem Beharry was invited to the event to give her input.

Emotional Intelligence

Colour Your Emotions: JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill - JCI Harbour Collaboration Here at JCI, we LOVE Twinning! This year for the very first time, the MindBlooms team, under JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill, “Twinned” with JCI Harbour of Hong Kong for the International Children Art Festival (ICAF) 2022, which is based on the vision of JCI RISE. This art competition targeted children aged between 4 and 15, and the aim was to empower them to communicate their emotions through art, in order to help gain insight into the state of their mental wellbeing.

On June 11th 2022, JCI Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill collaborated with our long time partners, Caritas Centre of Learning, to host this competition for the children of Residence Barkly, and the event was a wonderful success! The excitement of the children was palpable, as well as that of the MindBlooms team - some of which even reconnected with their own inner child! The success of the event was furthered by our sponsor, Gourmet Avenue, who provided participants with refreshments.

Art is a powerful vehicle for emotions. Our team was able to have some heartfelt conversations with the children that participated, using art as a medium. We are grateful to JCI Harbour for having given us the opportunity to create such a fantastic experience for the children of Residence Barkly, and we look forward to many more collaborations!

MindBlooms at Polytechnics University Understanding and building

self-awareness is key to success

one’s career, relationships, and personal growth. By gaining insight into the self, one can better identify

strengths, resources, and areas for

improvement. While adults are exploring ways to improve their self-awareness, there are clear benefits for the younger generation.

On June 9th and 16th, Polytechnics University invited Tasneem Beeharry to deliver a session on Building Self-Awareness at their Montagne Blanche and Pamplemousses campuses. During the sessions, the students were invited to explore different emotional states when faced with various situations, and were given some simple, yet powerful tools to help them further explore themselves and better manage their emotions.

As young adults, it is necessary for students to start taking the reigns of their own emotions, in order to improve their performances at university, and later on in their careers. Success is highly contingent on mastering one’s emotions, rather than being mastered by their own emotions.

Overall, the experience at Polytechnics was delightful, and we look forward to any future collaborations!

EVENT CORNER

Music Day 2022 - “Music on the intersections” Music has the ability to connect souls and make us travel even if we’re standing still.

Through the sounds of the strumming guitar, cajon box and resonating ravanne, this year’s Music day has been marked by a performance by our JCI members and aspiring members. A gathering that appeared to be brief and spontaneous on a Sunday afternoon, transformed into a real bonding experience for these amateur musicians.

Playing together for the first time made us figure out instantly how to get attuned to one another. The occasional laughter, offbeat tempo and weird pauses all formed part of the experience and made us aware that the approach to creating music together lies in letting go, being in harmony and enjoying all the spontaneity.

Our selection of songs came from diverse backgrounds, ranging from British rock band Coldplay, French upbeat reggae Sinsemilia, Mauritian Bhojpuri Naya Sirey and Cassiya’s rhythmic sega Reves nous ancetre. This sequence of songs was chosen to convey music’s most prominent qualities, that is, its power to transcend languages, share culture and connect people.

This experience has motivated us all to further develop our craft and use music to spread love.
