A talented team of performers will create an unforgettable charity concert in Adelaide next month to raise funds for homeless children from the largely forgotten tragedy that hit Kenya this year.

With the calamitous cyclone in Burma followed by the massive earthquake in China, each new disaster causes previous human tragedies to fade in memory although the suffering continues. Kenyan charities are struggling to feed thousands of homeless children each day after the civil strife that swept the east African nation earlier this year.

To raise money to help them, Adelaide businessman and musician Mark Keough has organised a charity Concert for Kenya on Saturday, June 14, at the Prince Alfred College Auditorium in Kent Town.

Headlining this special event is former West Coast US surf singer Chuck Girard - whose hit song Little Honda was launched by the same producer who discovered the Beach Boys - who went on to pioneer contemporary Christian music with his 1970s band Love Song.

Adelaide-based Calvert Technologies has boosted recruitment and secured Gold Partner status from Microsoft by meeting demand for new technology from SA's small business sector.

Gold Certified Partnership represents the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies, offering the closest working relationship with Microsoft.

Calvert's managing director Dean Calvert already holds Microsoft's Most Valued Professional status because of his expertise in deploying and managing technology systems for small businesses. He is a regular speaker on the subject at Microsoft events in Australia and in the US.

Since the start of the year, Adelaide-based Calvert has recruited three new staff members to meet demand from businesses, public sector agencies and community organisations throughout South Australia. The company now has a head count of seven.

Dean Calvert said he was expecting demand to continue increasing, even if the economy began to slow down. "As competition gets tougher, businesses typically seek to get more bang for their bucks of investment," he said.

Business magazine Australian Anthill is calling for young South Australian entrepreneurs to wave the State's piping shrike flag in nominations for its annual 30under30 competition.

Anthill publisher James Tuckerman said South Australian nominations for the 30under30 awards have been few and far between since applications opened in February. Ironically, SA produced the 2007 winner for Anthill's Cool Company Award, Rising Sun Research.

Mr. Tuckerman has called on South Australians to nominate an SA entrepreneur for this new national awards program before the April 7 closing date. Nominees must be under 30 years of age on June 1, 2008. They can work for their own company or work for someone else. They just need to demonstrate that they have an entrepreneurial mindset.
