A bunch of us brainstormed wildly: What if there was a magazine that created dialogue between the communities! And showcased talent, creativity and initiative! What if it promoted music, art, innovation! What if it celebrated ordinary people striving to do extraordinary things. What if it was a magazine that was by the community, and for the community! What if it promoted good values, responsible citizenry and community sharing! What if it also celebrated diversity, sharing and goodness.... AND SO TEMPO WAS BORN.
