GIRISH RAMJUTTUN
HELLO AND WELCOME!
My name is Girish Ramjuttun and I am a passionate Mauritian who lives in Melbourne with my beautiful wife and 3 kids. I am the co-founder of La Caze Mama, a leading promoter of Mauitian culture in Australia and Mauritius and I look forward to share my thoughts and experiences with you on this page
My dream
I dream of a more united and powerful Mauritius, one where its people live in true harmony with themselves and each other, where the island’s natural beauty is preserved and enhanced and where it’s government is truly serving the people. I dream of the original paradise becoming that once more
My philosophy
The only way to lift the water level is to lift the shortest stave.
Leibig’s Law of Minimum
If we want meaningful change in society, we must start from empowering the weakest and the most in need. It is only by doing this that we will be able to lift the shortest stave, raise the water level and as such, upgrade our viewpoints.
Let’s not forget that a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link!
WHY THIS WEBSITE
For a long time I have felt the need to express myself more fully and freely. This website a place where I can do that but more importantly, have a conversation and learn from others, their perspectives and experience.
