EARN TO PROTECT THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN

By
It began with a dream, a senseless dream in which I thought I was a man of means. From my belt hung a handsome purse, heavy with coin. There were shekels which I cast with careless freedom to beggars, there were pieces of silver with which I bought finery for my wife and anything I deemed best for me. There were pieces of gold which made me feel assured of the future and unafraid to spend the silver. A glorious feeling of contentment was with me, I don't think you would have known me.
 "why then do I know you?"

Protect your children by earning your portion first, let the money you earn work for you
Safeguard your future generation
Why indeed ! Because I awoke up and remembered how empty my purse was, a feeling of rebellion swept over me. As sail
ors we ride in the same boat we two. As youngsters we went together to the priest to learn some wisdom. As young men we shared each others pleasures. As grown men we have always been close friends we have been contented subjects of our kind. satisfied to work long hours and spend our earnings freely we've earned much coin in the years that have passed yet to know the joys that come from wealth we must dream about them. Are we more than dumb sheep? We live in the richest city in all the world . Travelers do say none equals it in wealth. About us there is much display of wealth yet we have it not. consider also our sons are they not following in the footsteps of their fathers? Need they and their sons and their sons' families live all their lives in the midst of such treasure of gold and yet like us be contented to banquet upon sour goats milk and porridge? I have labored to build the finest chariots any man could make, softhearted hoping some day the Gods would recognize my worthy deeds and bestow upon me great prosperity. This they have never done. Now I realize they will never do.

My heart is sad I want to be a man of means . I wish to own lands and cattle to have fine robes and coin in my purse. I am willing to work for these things with all the remaining strength in my back, with all the cunning in my mind, but I wish my labors be fairly rewarded. Why cannot we have our just share of the good things so plentiful for those with gold to buy them?
"Would I know the answer?"

come lets put a smile on a childs face 13 counties are affected by poor long rains in Kenya today. More than 10,000 livestock have died in a span of 3 months in Ganze, kilifi county following a prolonged drought. Residents are forced to trek a distance of over 30km to reach Renji dam, which is now the only remaining source of water but also believed to be drying up quickly. Some residents claim that this situation has forced their children to drop out of school as they do not have money to cater schools due to the death of their livestock which is their their only revenue. KUTOA NI MOYO A survey by KNA in kaloleni, ganze and kilifi north earlier this year established a total crop failure as all maize planted during the months of April and may dried up immaturely. The kilifi county executive member in charge for agriculture, livestock development and fisheries,  said the county is likely to face a severe shortage of food especially in semi-arid parts of Ga...

CURE TO MY SMALL POX

By
I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had small pox. My second semester in campus and it is all the time I needed to know the class genius or as you may please chopii, the party animals,  the know-it all, back-benchers, class representatives, mean lecturers, dean of students (this one I knew since my day one, keep your dean of students close cause you never know...you might graduate with first class honors without knowing it haha!) , entertainment arena, the lecture halls, master the timetable, master my students' registration number and master the art of smiling. - Yes, smiling. I believe smiling can get you anything. So I get to interact with some students and filtered out some to form a study group to help with the assignments and discuss on "tough" units. Here, they have CCTV cameras in the examination halls. Okay,not functioning ones. But wait, why incur such an expense in installation? So Yes, very much functioning ones. But ...

IF WOMEN CAN'T, MEN SHOULDN'T EITHER.

By
People say adoption beats abortion. Well...what about the large number of children waiting to be adopted? And the ones who do not get adopted? Also, many people do not understand the psychological effects of not having that nurturing parent around. It truly messes kids up for life. What a sad life to live in an orphanage with no family or parents! If they make abortions illegal, they should make it illegal for men to desert women after getting them pregnant. If women cannot back out of pregnancies, men should not be able to either. On this fine day,I was running errands with my grandma and discreetly purchased a pregnancy test and ran to the washroom to take it. Immediately, it showed a positive result. I continued to walk around the store with her, tears streaming down my face, telling her that something in the store must have activated my allergies. Normally, I stay quiet, but not silent. I consider myself to be pretty responsible, maybe impulsive at times. My boyfrie...
