Memories of the CEFE Community

 

"We the Members of the CEFE NET SRI LANKA here by resolve as follows; Mr Rainer Kolshorn whom we consider the CEFE guru is fondly rememberd for his dedication, committment,the foresight and the great vision towards initiating CEFE and promoting it world wide and contributing to the development of our competencies, prosperity and social acceptance. Further we salute him for making it very simple where people from different education and competency levels could use it and practise to improve their Entrepreveurial competencies and living standards by way of creating or expanding/improvement of their enterprise whether its micro, small, medium of large scale. He will always have a special place in our hearts eventhough some of us have not seen him live "

On this special day... I will try and devote sometime to think about innovations and new ways of doing more CEFEs for the young. I remembered Rainer always pointing to the direction of the young as our future and source of new inspiration and energy. Long live Rainer.... Ed Canela, Ph.D

Absolutely agree to Ed, BUT we also has to give attention to the old generation who are still creative and productive, we can not let them feel lonely for the rest of their life whom make us like this today. Long Live Rainer.. Lbs

C'est vrai que Feu Rainer Kolshorn était une grande personnalité qui contribué pleinement au développement de CEFE et sa bonne organisation avec les moyens limités disponibles.
Que son Ame demeure en paix!

Buen dia, hermanos
Rainer Kolshorn para la familia que él mismo formó (CEFE), es no sólo un padre, es un inimitable, ferviente, abnegado, entusiasta, gran visionario.
CEFE transformó el mundo de los pequeños, despertó la fiera de las mentalidades de todos los continentes, mostró el arma interna que lleva cada emprendedor, para romper los barrotes de la marginalidad.

Carisma
Experiencia
Fe
Entrega
