Rose Nasimiyu

I was flipping through the channels on Saturday evening and came by Capital Talk on K24. Jeff Koinange had an interesting guest on the bench. It was 9year old Rose Nasimiyu who has been diagnosed with cancer. She  amazed me. Rose has such faith and credits it to her parents who have taught her that she can make it in life and fight the disease with confidence. I wouldn't want to dilute her story which can be found on http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2011/07/21/cancer-won%E2%80%99t-make-rose-nasimiyu-wilt/.

She needs to go for chemotherapy every 2 weeks which costs about Kshs 50,000-60,000  per session and says her parents are really working very hard to ensure that she goes for the 16courses. With the help of her mum,Rose has written and sang   'I believe'.  Having lost close relatives to cancer, I just can not  imagine what this girl has gone through. However she doesn't focus on her challenges she said something profound" feed your faith and your fears will starve to death".

I do not know her nor her parents, neither have I met her but if we can help her see another day as she believes, we can either buy her cd or make contributions to M-Pesa on 0724-55 17 54 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              0724-55 17 54      end_of_the_skype_highlighting or contact Rose’s mother on pwegesa@yahoo.com.

Have a faith filled day.

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...
