DIARY OF A SINGLE MOTHER- Time to set the ball rolling
Related to country: Kenya
About the book: "Think Big"


I have been toying with the idea of sharing the life and days of a single mother and this year 2012 seems just the right time to do it... I have seen a lot in my 10.5years of being a mother and I believe this is just the right time to put everything together and share it out to not only encourage all of you out there who are not just single mothers, but single parents trying to give their children a decent lifestyle, everyday by sacrificing your time and working hard so that they can have a good life.

Being a single mother is not to me by choice, am not regreting it either since I have learnt with time to overcome the shame that society tags with being a single mother. In fact I am proud to be the mother of my 10.5year old son since I know that there aremany other who wish to have the same but have not. I would have wished to have a father for my son, but as it is, they can only talk once in a while. Being a single and working mum means that at times you may be forced to miss not only some of the precious moments that one can spend with your child/ren, since you have to ensure that you must work to enable them have a good life. At times I sit down and ask myself if it is really worth it to be away from home for at times 4 weeks, with little and limited phone conversation with my son and I wonder how he is feeling being away from me.

My job is not that friendly, it not only makes me unavailable when I am within but keeps me without most of the times....working and being a parent is not easy at times I am forced to advice young people to ensure they have time for their children and if they are going to be a globe trotting couple, then its better not to have their children then :). I try my best to be home for most of the special occasions and when I cant make it home, I have to make advance an apology and prepare him psychologically that I may or may not be available for that special occasions. The best thing with my job is that I get to travel therefore when he is on holiday and I have loval travel, he gets to tag along with me. Boring for a 10yr old as under normal circumstances he should be out playing in a football field...but yeah sometimes I am forced to.

A single and working parent is not the easiest to date, at times she has to choose between her job, child and the person s/he is dating, at times compromising too much and looking like they do not care a lot but hey, that is life, and the sad reality. If you asked me to choose between a man am dating and my son...am sure you would know the answer right? But it doesnt mean that single parent cannot date, they can, there are many limitations and some are just those you can avoid.

Well today I was just going through a general view of a life in a diary of a single mother...and/ or parent..next write up will be on specific areas that one undergoes as a single mother especially...my focus will not be on the male gender but specifically on the female gender...looking forward to your reads and comments, feel free to ask questions :)

Could GM crops help feed Africa?
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

If there is one place on earth where farmers have it hard, it is sub-Saharan Africa. Most people are farmers, but not for profit - to survive. Africa is the one continent that cannot feed itself. When you see children picking away at the arid, red, African soil with the most rudimentary tools, it is clear that African agriculture can use all the help it can get. ........

ZIARA YA KATIBU MKUU WA UMOJA WA MATAIFA
About this event: 4th World Youth Congress - Quebec City 2008
Related to country: Kenya
About the book: "Principles of Horticulture"

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

MKASA WA MTETEMEKO WA ARDHI HUKO UCHINA
Katibu mkuu wa Umoja wa mataifa Ban Ki-Moon, ameipongeza Nchi ya Uchina kwa uongozi wake mwema kutokana na mtetemeko wa ardhi wa hivi karibuni katika jimbo la Sichuan.
Alikuwa akiongea katika mji wa Yingxiu ambao umeadhirika sana na mtetemeko huu wa ardhi. Vile vile, waziri mkuu wa Uchina Wen Jiabao amesema ya kuwa, kufikia sasa vifo vya watu vimepita elfu sitini na vyaweza kufikia elfu themanini.
Bwana Ban amesema kuwa umoja wa mataifa uko tayari kutoa misaada zaidi.
Hapo mbeleni, afisa wa kichina alisema kuwa mitambo hamsini ya kinuklia ilikuwa imezikwa. Taarifa kutoka kwa waziri mdgo wa mazingira Wu Xiaoqing inasema kuwa, thelathini na tano kati ya mitambo hii imezikwa katyika mawe na majumba mabovu. Ingawa Bwana Wu amedhibitisha kuwa hakuna mitambo yoyote ya kinuklia iliyofuja, wanayansi wanasema ya kuwa huenda ikawa madini ya kinulkia yalitoka katika hospitali viwanda ama vituo vya kufanyia uchunguzi lakini si vifaa ama vyombo vya kivita
Bwana Ban ambaye amezuru Burma anatafuta misaada zaidi kwa wahasiriwa wa kibunga Nargis. Jumamosi iliyopita alikifungua rasmi kituo cha misaada cha kibunga huko Thailand.
Karibu na Sichuan, kulikotokea mtetemeko wa ardhi, aliwapongeza wenyeji wa Yingxiu, kwa jitihada waliozoweka kuwashughulikia wahasiriwa.
“Serikali ya Uchina iemjaribu iwezavyo na imeonyesha uongozi na jitihada katika mkasa huu,” Alisema Bwana Ban. Aliendelea kusema kuwa watu wote duniani wanaiunga na wataisaidia Uchina katika mkasa huu.
“Tukiungana, tutashida,” Alinakiliwa na ripotikutoka kwa APNA [Associated Press News Agency] “ Dunia nzima iko nyuma yenu na inawaunga.”
Zaidi ya watu milioni tano wameachwa bila makao kwasababu ya makasa huu.
Ijumaa, katika jimbo liliadhirika zaidi la Li Chengyuu, gavana msaidizi aliitisha misaada zaidi ya mahema na kufumbua rasmi mpango wa miaka mitatu wa kujenga jimbo hilo.
Viongozi wa kichina pia wamebuni kikapu cha fedha cha kuwezesha ujenzi kitakachogharimu dola bilioni kumi.
Serikali pia imetoa ombi kwa benki humo nchini kufutilia mbali madeni ya wahasiriwa ili kuiimarisha tena uchumi wa Sichuan.
