words of wisdom

You are strong...
when you take off your grief
and teach yourself to smile.

You are Brave...
when you over come your fears
and help others to do the same.

You are Happy...
when you see a flower and
are thankful for the blessing.

You are Loving....
when your own pain does not
blind you to the pain of others.

You are wise....
when you know the limits
of your wisdom.

You are True....
when you admit there are
times you fool yourself.

You are Alive....
when tomorrow's hope means
more to you then yesterday;s
mistakes.

 You are growing...
when you know what you are
but not what you will become.

You are Free...
when you are in control of yourself
and do not wish to control others.

 You are Honorable...
when you believe your honor
is to respect others honour.

You are generous...
when you can take as
sweetly as you can give.

You are Humble....
when you do not know
how humble you are.
You are thoughtful...
when you see me as just as i am
and treat me just as you are.

You are Merciful..
when you forgive in others the
faults you condemn in yourself.

 You are Beautiful...
when you do not need
a mirror to tell you.

 You are Rich...
when you never need
more than what you have.

 You are YOU...
when you are at peace
without that you are not.

#BeautyofVolunteerism:My TV Interview on Volunteerism

Volunteerism in Kenya is gaining traction and I am happy to have been part of this journey (read my story on how I began volunteering at 16 years here ) . A few days ago the President Uhuru Kenyatta invited Kenyans to offer volunteer services on December 5th as part of celebrations to mark International Volunteer Day . Very soon we will be launching the national volunteerism policy. All these developments herald a new dawn for the volunteerism sector in the country. I sat down with KBC Tv's Sam to discuss these new developments and what they mean for the country. Watch the interview and share your thoughts. Kenya is among the few African countries to come up with a homegrown volunteerism policy. The policy aims to not only recognize volunteerism and its contribution to GDP but also celebrate and protect the rights of volunteers, volunteer involving organizations and beneficiaries. A copy of the policy is available on the Ministry of Labor website http://www.labour.go.ke/reso...

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 ...
