...so called life

A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, “Ahhhhh.” Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, “Ahhhhh!” Filled with curiosity, he screams: “Who are you?”, but the only answer he receives is: “Who are you?” This makes him angry, so he screams: “You are a coward!”, and the voice answers: “You are a coward!” He looks at his father, asking, “Dad, what is going on?” “Son,” the man replies, “pay attention!” Then he screams, “I admire you!” The voice answers: “I admire you!” The father shouts, “You are wonderful!”, and the voice answers: “You are wonderful!” The boy is surprised, but still can’t understand what is going on. Then the father explains, “People call this ‘ECHO’, but truly it is ‘LIFE!’ Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a mirror of your actions. If you want more love, give more love! If you want more kindness, give more kindness! If you want understanding and respect, give understanding and respect! If you want people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and respect! This rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives.” Life always gives you back what you give out. Your life is not a coincidence, but a mirror of your own doings

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.

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
