another of my copypasted lols that will leave you in stitches!

The top Marketing Director of Nescafe manages to arrange a meeting
with the Pope at the Vatican.

After receiving the Papal blessing, the Nescafe official whispers,
'Your Eminence, I have some business to discuss. We at Nescafe have an offer for you. Nescafe is prepared to donate $100 million to the
church. If you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our
daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily coffee'



The Pope looks outraged and thunders, "That is impossible. The Prayer is the word of the Lord, It must not be changed. " Well," says the Nescafe man somewhat chastened, "We anticipated your reluctance.



For this reason, and the importance of the Lord's Prayer to all
Catholics, we will increase our offer to $300 million. All we require
is that you change the Lord's Prayer from 'Give us this day our daily
bread' to Give us this day our daily coffee'."


Again, even more sternly, the Pope replies, "That, my son is
impossible. For the prayer is the word of the Lord and it must not be
changed."


Finally, the Nescafe director says, "Your Holiness, we at Nescafe
respect your adherence to your faith, we realise that tradition is
essential to your beliefs, we fully understand the importance of the
word of the Lord .............. but we do have one final offer. Please
discuss it with your cardinals. We will donate $500 million to the
great Catholic church if you would only change the Lord's Prayer from
'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily
coffee'. Please, please consider it."

And he leaves.



The next day the Pope convenes the College of Cardinals.

"There is some Good news," he announces, "and some bad news...... The
good news is, he continues to a hushed assembly, ' that the Church
will get $ 500 million."

"And what is the bad news, your Holiness?" asks a Cardinal.


"Sadly" says the Pope,  we would have to lose the Britannia Account...... .............and take on Nestle !

Kenya National Volunteerism Policy

This is a backdated article I wrote on the launch of National Volunteerism Policy. The policy was launched in December 2016 by DP William Ruto . Currently all efforts are geared towards making sure the volunteerism bill is approved by parliament and the provisions in the policy are actualised A national volunteerism policy that will help set up mechanisms to measure the contribution of volunteers to development will soon be launched. An initiative of the Ministry of East African Community (EAC), Labour and Social Protection and Volunteer Involving Organizations (VIO) Society, the policy will provide guidelines for qualifying and quantifying volunteer contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is estimated that volunteerism contributes 2% to GDP. With the policy, a nationwide study will be conducted to establish the contribution of volunteerism to national development including the GDP. “For a long time, volunteers and the volunteerism sector as a whole has not been a

My Year of Yes: Reflections on My One Year FK Fellowship

In February last year, I received a call from the African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) ’s Information Manager that I had been selected for the Fredskorpset (FK) Fellowship exchange program. In my new capacity as an FK Fellow I was required to move to Uganda and execute communication and research duties at FEMNET’s partner Development Research and Social Policy Analysis Center (DRASPAC). Yes to a New Life On 19th April 2015, I travelled to Uganda to begin this new exciting journey. First stop was the Imperial Resort Beach Hotel in Entebbe where I was to attend a 2 week preparatory course organized by FK. There, I got to meet fellows from different countries. Everybody seemed equally excited and upbeat. I met my Tanzanian colleague Samora with whom we would be working at DRASPAC and Isabella and Janet, the two Ugandan fellows with whom we were being exchanged. That day I also met my roommate Assumpta, a Ugandan lady who was a nurse by profession. Assumpta
