THE FIRST STEPS; INSPIRING YOUNG MINDS TO PURSUE EDUCATION SERIOUSLY






Talking to pupils of different primary schools in Vitengeni zone with Sheila Mutuku.
Most pupils have no good reason to be in school. They have no dreams and have not known the importance of going to school. They haven't known the importance of education in this society which NEEDS EDUCATION MOST.

In these talks, I together with Sheila Mutuku explain to them how important education is in positively changing our lives in Kilifi. As I speak to them, I realize how much they lacked such talks. In their eyes, you see how they are getting challenged and how most of them want to take the challenge and work harder in their academics.

They seem not to have had someone from their locality, one of their own, who they can emulate. Who can to them become a mentor. This helps me to realize how much these kids needed such talks. Therefore, I take the opportunity to stir in them the thirsty and hunger to acquire EDUCATION and CHANGE their lives, their families and the society.

It's so fulfilling to interact with them and inspire them. To know what they face and how they handle it. I am motivated to reach more schools, more pupils and help them set a foundation strong enough for realization of a better future, a better society.That's my dream. that's what I am longing for..........

Tells of the best of Women

  Our very first Date I have known this woman for the past 7 years, I have dated her for the past two years and I have been married to her for the past one year, four months and thirteen day, ( don't be fooled, I sort the help of a calculator and minutes of thinking) If you would like to meet an incredible woman, you should absolutely meet her. If you want to meet a smart and beautiful woman, you need to meet my wife. If you want to meet a flawed woman, damn right, you should look for her. If you want to meet a loyal and loving woman, my Eve should be your next meet. Every additional year she gets becomes first a gracious gift to me then to her. Don't get me wrong, it's just that she takes care of me more than she takes care of herself. This is her second birthday we are celebrating in Kilifi. The first was just a week after we had moved here from Nairobi. We just had a small "Fayaz" cake (I didn't even put a sad face, it was a terrible cake) with our very ...

A CONTINUATION OF WHAT CHALLENGES EDUCATION IN OUR SOCIETY

Like I pointed out in my last post, there is a lot more that I would want to share on what challenges education in the Kilifi society. POVERTY Poverty is one of the biggest challenges that hinder education in our great County of Kilifi. After the free primary education was announced, almost every young man or woman who had dropped out of school rushed to join school again. Schooling had been made easy. No fee was required, no significant money to pay for anything. Primary education was truly free then. Several years down the line, primary education is no longer as free as it was even after being made a law that it would continue to be free almost forever. Today there are many expenses that pupils have to pay for if they are to remain in school. That's the primary education not even secondary. Poverty has therefore denied children access to education. These children come from extremely poor families(and that's the situation of very many families in Kilifi) which can with dif...
