My motivation has always been a young man who defied odds,he used his wisdom to challenge status quo,
“One day, an old man was walking along the shore when he came upon a young man reaching down to the sand, picking up starfish, and throwing them into the ocean. “Why are you doing this?”, he asked. The young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back in, they’ll die.”

The old man replied, “Do you not realize there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish along every mile? You cannot possibly make a difference!” At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, “I made a difference for that one.”

we can change kenya,starting from individual initiatives,lets all come together,with our energies ,we need to get everyone involved.We need to start thinking about that suffering Kenyan,how we are to help him/her.
we can move masses,LET’S DO IT.

I won’t make the many promises that people may make here because they are always empty I only want to make one promise here today;that me together with my government will try at all costs to make our citizen of FB get all government information that is of primary importance to the youth of this nation.

THE NATURE OF HUMAN FREEDOM

dunpresident — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:38:00 +0000

Freedom

Before I go any further I wish to explain , at least to my understanding what Human freedom means. Before we talk of Human freedom we need to know what it means to have freedom.While the dictionary explains freedom as ‘the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint’ I will just give one brief definition of my own, freedom is the ability to enjoy all rights granted by the laws governing a people.

Human freedom

Human freedom in this case will mean the ability to enjoy all human rights irrespective of affiliation be it economical ,social, religious or political.

Human beings must be able to do the right things for the right reasons at the right time if freedom is to be protected. As we deliberate on this topic we need to appreciate that there are limitations to the extend of one enjoying his/her freedoms,one should not suppress others in the event of trying to please themselves or live to the fullest of their expectations.

Nature of human freedom should be defined by Culture of Life. A culture, which must be upheld by all humans to promote sanity and dignity in society.Human freedom should not only be limited to protection of people from socio-political and economic injustices, it should be all round, for instance we need to safeguard the interests of the unborn even though they pose a challenge to our political struggles, the unborn have to be protected to guarantee continuation, humans can only be free if their growth too is free from control, Since all men possess dignity given to them by God even before birth, the urge and need to build a culture of life should be propagated. This I say because many nations come in with arm twisting policies to reduce population at the expense of human life,this culture must be avoided by all means.Instead of inducing artificial constraints it is better to focus on how we can increase Human participation in development,this will increase prosperity and will go way ahead to contribute to the development of the human person.

Human dignity does not amount to freedom to do whatever one pleases,it is the ability to do the right thing at the right time for the right reasons.This should advise our actions to avoid struggle to justify our selves at the expense of other people that we live in because we are all born with dignity in equal proportion irrespective of class, level of intelligence economical or political power.

“He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.” ~Thomas Paine

Conclusion

Therefore human freedom must be earned,for us to live in harmony we must give that which we desire to receive, we must be fair to all,we must respect all and champion for the rights of all irrespective of their background or status because those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.

UNEMPLOYMENT; WE ARE THE SOLUTION

dunpresident — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 16:55:00 +0000

In Africa, the Youth make up 37% percent of the working population and 60% of the total unemployed, this unfair because it is only the 40% that are in this employment category. Developing countries which invest in better education, healthcare, and job training for the majority of their young people between the ages of 12 and 24 years of age, could produce surging economic growth and sharply reduced poverty, but poor governance corruption and nepotism have led to negative impact to this progress.

This unemployment contribute greatly to many vices in society many of which affect the youth, it also makes them vulnerable to antisocial habits, these include; crime, drug abuse, irresponsible sexual behaviors, prostitution and early motherhood. This in the long run reduces the rate of development in society and the nation at large.

It is this unemployment that also hinders the youth from actively participating in decision making since they are not financially empowered to compete for political seats and other leadership positions owing to the financial needs in doing so.

We witnessed the post election violence in Kenya where the youths were misused by the political elite to assume power, this happened majorly because of the lack of youth empowerment in economic activities which make them vulnerable, they were paid to cause violence and other irresponsible activities through which they got bread on their table. For them it is struggling to get something small for the stomach, something which makes them contended with the little pea nut pay they get. The involvement of the youths during this time also contributed highly to loss of property and life, this is a clear example of how unemployment leads to youths being enemies of youths because down the line the youths themselves rob each other, in this I am a direct victim; I always live remembering January 30^th 2008,on this day after the disputed presidential elections in Kenya my small second hand goods shop was broken into, this happened amid nationwide protest because it was argued the elections were rigged, on this day I lost all my investments and since then I have not been able to get back the momentum with which my business had gained.

Despite an increase in economic growth in Kenya, the youth still remain behind in terms of participation in the development agenda yet they are the more energetic in society and can increase the economic growth rate by far if they are maximally incorporated in production. This requires that the government puts in place measures to increase youth participation in matters of environmental protection and other government programmes that run over time, this will enable the youth participate in improvement of the ecosystem as well as their lives as they will be kept busy in measures the government takes in environmental protection and other government programmes. I am saying this because programmes like those leaning on the environment are not seasonal and therefore will ascertain that there will be assurance of job opportunities always unlike other jobs where the youth will have to wait for a vacancy before they apply for the jobs. The government also should reduce the barriers that hinder the youths from getting financial services like loans and support since there are many youths out there who have great ideas that can improve many lives if they get actualized through funding and support, it should also subsidize the cost of training in technical fields so as to help the youth gain necessary skills that can make them be self reliant in terms of self employment. If the government fails to come in then there is cause to worry because there will be social tensions in society as a result of disillusionment by the youth who will end up ganging against the elite, this disillusionment also leads to many youths being misused by the irresponsible leaders of the day a good example being the 2007-2008 post election violence in kenya.

It is a responsibility of every person to strife to get what they want thus youths should take the initiative to make their lives and that of other youths better even before the government comes in to help them, this can be done by we the youth coming up together and supporting each other’s ideas and developments for a common goal, we should also in our undertakings, ensure that whatever programme or project we choose to engage in ,the interests of the youth are catered for in terms of employment and social development. To increase the chances of getting financial aid we should come together as youths either in youth groups or other recognized organizations registered by the government to boost confidence with whoever that may want to support us, it is also through this grouping that we can share ideas and knowledge for us to be able to come up with viable society friendly projects that can be supported by the government and other donors; through these projects we will be creating self employment.

If we come up together under one network, we will be able to have a bigger bargaining power as a united front as opposed to individual struggles that divide us, this will go way ahead to help us fight for the infringed rights of the youths in work places and also enable us bargain for working positions for our fellow youth in areas of interest, this will also make the government and other non-governmental institutions seek our guidance when engaging the youth in future developments as unity in purpose makes us a force to reckon with.

Sunset Encounter

dunpresident — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 08:53:00 +0000

In the calm of the hot, August evening,
We retire to the shade of the sinking sun
Gazing at the resting nature
To the pulse of crawling time.

You reach for my waiting hand
And steal a sweet, wet kiss
In between sips
Of ice cold juice.

We stare off silently in the distance,
Smiling to the passing humans.
As we ear the music from crickets in the grass,
You turn to me and tenderly pinch my chin.

I smile and you show your teeth off,
As your auburn hair rushes to hide
The sight of our unborn children
Start Dancing in your lovely eyes.

IT IS NOT BY WISH OR DEFAULT,IT IS LIFE:THIS KID NEEDS YOUR HELP AND MINE

dunpresident — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:57:00 +0000

Iwas touched by her story.Please never despise commercial sex workers,never write them off,it isnt a must u have sex with them before u give them a shilling,none of them wishes to do it,if u take them 4 granted by using them n dumping them just know that you too wil giv birth 2 a child who might become anything n face everythng.

One night a week ago after watching soccer, i sat sipping my cold Coke,this young lady came and sat yards away,she wasn’t alone,there were several others around,from the look she wanted to capture my attention,she probably thought i would pay for her services and sleep with her but that was not to be.A few minutes later a local civic leader passed by,the girls started ‘mheshimiwa tununulie hata soda” Honourable buy us even if it is just a bottle of soda,the man just went away not even looking at them,then the girls started talking of how they may never vote him back,i was particularly attracted to the reasoning of the lady who sat close to me,her name is Hadija.

I want to quote her “ someone like this man pretends not to see us here yet they are the elected leaders who should help us,instead of helping us he calls me and tells me he wants to pay me and sleep with me,is it really fair when such happens,most of us here do not love this place it is because of such people,they fail at home as parents and we are forced to look after our own”

When she saw I was keenly listening to her now she faced me,and her friends also gave attention,she narrated to me how she was forced to start selling herself,she is the last born in her family,he mother is Ugandan her father Kenyan,when her mother died its when she realized through a community meeting that she was actually not her ‘fathers’ daughter,she was born from another man,her siblings used to be taken care of but she was segregated,she was told to find a life of her own,she went to Uganda,at one time became a housemaid to survive,she gave birth to her first child in 2004,the kid is now six years,she had to feed the kid,cloth her and the owners of the house could not allow her to go on working there because she had a kid,so she was thrown out,she decided to go to the streets,to atleast get something for her baby,at this point she narrates to me why she started drinking alcohol ,because she was surprised I don’t take alcohol,she tells me in her kind of trade she has to be high to even think of sleeping with a man for a pay,she explained to me how she even smokes bhang and cigarettes,for her she has to get high before she can get the courage of ‘selling her body’ (this shows she dislikes the whole thing)

What touched me is what am about to say,it brought me into tears,

I know you might see this story as being very long but please read through to the end.this girl gave birth to another kid who is now 4years old,the father was just one of her night out customers,the man refused to support the kid and even threatened the girl,she speaks of her (kid) with pride,she narrates how the kid is not going to school but intelligent as a grown up,when she is back in the morning and somebody knocks at their door the kid always tells them to go away her mother is tired and needs rest,the kid doesn’t even wake her mum when she feels thirsty instead she goes to the neighbor when asked why she didn’t take water from their house ‘mum is tired she worked the whole night I don’t want to disturb her’ – that is the small bit about the kid,now one day this girl wasn’t going to work at night ‘parking in the street’ she decided to rest so she put some milk to burn on the stove she left the kid and went to buy sugar,unlucky enough,the kid knocked of the candle which later lit the mattress,the house was on fire,the kid got literally burnt to unconsciousness,when the neighbours came in to put off the fire they even never knew the kid was in the mattress they just poured water and left,now when this lady came back,she found the kid crawling,she tried to talk to the neighbours to assist her to take the kid to hospital that night but none helped,she slept with her daughter till morning,she couldn’t get help so she went out that night and worket till 1pm,a man who had interest in her gave her some kshs.1600/= with this and what she had earned that night she took her daughter to hospital the next day,the drugs alone cost her ksh.2600/= she bought and went back home with daughter

,she went on like that hitting the night cold everyday getting some money whenever she got it she took the kid for dressing,the kids leg had been burnt,so the she could only take the kid for treatment when she had made some money,this led to the kid now being crippled permanently,she has gone with the kid upto ‘Alupe ‘ a hospital that helps cases like her daughter’s and KSHS.10,000 IS NEEDED FOR HER KID TO BE HELPED,the kid lives in pain,she sometimes asks her mum to chop her leg off so he stops suffering.

When this lady finished telling us her story she asked,”if you come here and find me here in the cold will you blame me and say am a prostitute?” I answered her no.

Here is a girl who represents many girls out there with a similar or worse experience,they are the hopless in society ,she tells me she lives in a slum not because she loves it but because she has to,her life and that of her friends is not worthy talking about but she says she talked because she had taken alcohol,you can imagine how one problem caused by negligence by parents led to an innocent girl becoming what this girl is and abusing drugs. She says she has been in the business for 5years,she wishes someone was somewhere to come help her,at least even give her a small job that could enable her get some food for her kids,what amazes me in this lady is that she identifies that despite having reached class 5 she has friends with whom they work who have academic certificates,she even tells me that if her friends were helped to get work since they are educated more than her,then in the long run the friends would assist her and others,she is not self centered and that’s why I have decided am going to look for ways of helping her kid get treatment,

that is why am also asking you to think of how we can help her kid get treatment or even help the mother get some livelihood since she has shown and proven to me that if she was given a chance to work she would leave the streets. This girls story was touching,tears dropped when she was narrating,I felt it was my daughter going through this,I hope you have understood her predicament.I know God will always be just I know he will come through for these girl and her friends.I told them to form a group I promised to help them register it.

I know there is something you can do for them,if you don’t have anything you can still get someone to do something,I believe you know someone who might be of help,even if it is a medical doctor somewhere,we can help this case of this young kid who is suffering.

This is the story of this girl,Hadija with her daughter Halima representing many Hadija’s and Halima’s out there in need of your help and mine.I pray that God opens doors for the unfortunate.

Halima was brought to me,she is a beautiful young Girl.

This is her damaged foot.

Africa Needs All Her Mothers Alive.

dunpresident — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 13:06:00 +0000

THE SILENT TERMINATOR: MATERNAL MORTALITY

Every minute, at least one woman dies from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth

Five direct complications account for more than 70% of maternal deaths: haemorrhage (25%), infection (15%), unsafe abortion (13%), eclampsia (very high blood pressure leading to seizures – 12%), and obstructed labour (8%).

While these are the main causes of maternal death, unavailable, inaccessible, unaffordable, or poor quality care is fundamentally responsible,in Kenya the system alone encourages this to thrive due to increased medical costs and poor or neglected medical practice. These factors are detrimental to social development and wellbeing, as some one million children are left motherless each year. These children are 10 times more likely to die within two years of their mothers’ death,in some cases the child might survive but fail to fit into the society because of various rasons:

· The father who remains behind cannot bring the child up and leaves the responsibility to the extended family denying this kid paternal love and watch.

· It could be a case where the father neglected the mother and this kid is left alone,in this case this kid grows to either know different parents or risks to become a street kid due to lack of proper care.

Maternal death should be prevented, we must give a young woman the information and support she needs to control her reproductive health, help her through a pregnancy by providing quality prenatal care and later care for her and her newborn well into childhood. The vast majority of maternal deaths could be prevented if women had access to quality family planning services, skilled care during pregnancy, childbirth and the first month after delivery, or post-abortion care services and ‘where permissible’,safe abortion services,’I say where permissible because right now in Kenya we are making a new constitution and a section of the people are opposing a clause that legalizes abortion in cases where the expectant mother is in danger’. 15% of pregnancies and childbirths need emergency obstetric care because of risks that are difficult to predict. A working health system with skilled personnel is key to saving these women’s lives.

It is sad to read or hear in the media the magnitude of these deaths,governments are budgeting a lot in other needs as they ignore health needs of their people,major hospitals lack enough medical professionals to handle emergency cases,the staffed ones lack the necessary equipments,it is not news for example in Africa to hear that a woman died during child birth just because of absence of the doctor or the nurse in charge,what am highlighting here is the need for governments to prioritize the Health sector,am happy to note that in Kenya’s proposed constitution there is a clause that states that;

(every person has a right to the highest attainable standard of health which includes the right to health care services including reproductive health care)

this alone is a milestone since it is now constituted and the state shall be tasked to make sure the health of these expectant mothers is assured.

Last but not least,there should be an initiative by governments to raise awareness on maternal, newborn and child health and this should also include a special attention being given to reproductive health.

Domestic Violence Is Not an Option

dunpresident — Tue, 11 May 2010 14:39:00 +0000

We see acts of violence everyday on TV or even in front of our eyes. Mothers beating up their children for not being obedient or husbands that slap their wives in front of their own kids. The cause of domestic violence may be the lack of money because of the financial crisis, alcohol, and it can also appear when unfaithfulness settles in.
Usually after a “good” fight, the agressor says that he`s sorry or that he didn`t mean it. This is why domestic violence keeps on repeating in certain families or couples when the ones who hit were forgiven for too many times. Domestic violence not only ruins marriages, but it can also ruin futures or endanger lives. It often happens that the one who was beaten up will even accept humiliation in the future and do things just to please the other one, in order to avoid other episodes of domestic violence.

Domestic violence occurs in every sort of couple: hetero couples, gay or lesbian couples. It is universal if you want to call it this way, and I personally think that men who use force in order to be respected should be ashamed of themselves, because there are many other ways to be respected, but in order to be so you have to prove you deserve it.
Domestic violence doesn`t mean only punches, slaps and kicks, it also reffers to bad language. You can offend and hurt somebody without beating him or her up only by using words that have the same impact on somebody. I also think that when it comes to domestic violence, it is highly annoying and wrong for you to kiss the one you love and punch him a few minutes after that.
Sometimes episodes of domestic violence may occur when a partner sees in the other partner something that he doesn`t want to or can`t turn into. For instance, in a straight couple where the woman is rich and has a brilliant career, while the husband is still an accountant, domestic violence can occur whenever the frustrated man grabs a bottle of gin and starts pouring it down his throat, after which he hits his wife only because she managed to find her way through life and he is still trying to do so.
Now you may ask yourself how can domestic violence begin, what are the “symptoms” of domestic violence. Well, it can all begin when the other one breaks things, becomes extremely possessive, aggresses you verbally or starts to throw objects at you. It`s a single step from this to slapping you, so maybe you should reconsider whether you`ve taken the best decision when you chose to continue the relationship.
In the end, if you`re a victim of the domestic violence, you should firstly get away from the one that abused you and make sure he won`t find you. Secondly, it may help if you called a domestic violence line where you can share your problems and get help and support. Remember that even if he cries, apologizes and tells you he won`t hit you again, he didn`t have the same attitude before breaking your jaw.

Violence against women is often ignored and rarely punished

Women and girls suffer disproportionately from violence – both in peace and in war, at the hands of the state, the community and the family.
A life free from violence is a basic human right

From the home to the conflict zone, violence against women must stop.
In our various capacities in society there are a number of things we can do;

WE CAN:

* Push for the implementation of existing laws that guarantee access to justice and services for women subjected to violence including rape and other forms of sexual violence (if we are in policy making positions or if we can influence policy making)
* Calls for new laws to be enacted that will protect women’s human rights (if we are in policy making positions or if we can influence policy making)
* Demand an end to laws that discriminate against women (if we are in policy making positions or if we can influence policy making)
* Urge the ending of violence against women perpetrated by a state and its agents (all of us can do this)

* Create Works to empower women (all employers and government policy makers)

Please join in the fight,be the footsoldier,lets stop this vice.Talk to family and friends if some of them can do this ask them to do it,if they know who can do this ask them to intervene,let us safeguard our future by guarding our mothers and sisters.

For us to make massive change,we have to change one person at a time.
I KNOW WE CAN.

Only 8 days left: Act now to protect civilians in Eastern Chad

dunpresident — Sat, 08 May 2010 12:44:00 +0000

Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people living in eastern Chad, including more than 450,000 Sudanese refugees from Darfur and internally displaced Chadians, are at risk if the UN mission in Central African Republic and Chad (MINURCAT) leaves or no longer has a mandate to protect civilians.

The current MINURCAT mandate is due to expire on 15 May 2010. The government of Chad already announced that an agreement has been reached with the UN to reduce the number of troops to 1,900 and to conclude the full withdrawal of MINURCAT by October 2010.

Human rights violations, including rape and other violence against women and recruitment of child soldiers continue. The Chadian authorities are unable and/or unwilling to protect people living in eastern Chad.

MINURCAT has been providing some protection to those people despite difficulties in its deployment since March 2009. If MINURCAT leaves, the level of violence and human rights abuses will increase.

The UN Security council must ensure the protection of civilians in eastern Chad by renewing the mandate of MINURCAT and ensuring that it has the mandate and resources to protect civilians.

Take action now by sign this petition asking President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, to take the lead at the UN Security Council to ensure the mandate of MINURCAT is renewed.

TAKE ACTION NOW
