EDUCATION- MORE THAN JUST A 'PHRASE' OF WISDOM

-

I am very passionate about the role of education as a drive in any human undertaking, and of course I am for the fact that education open doors; it has literally open my many doors to life. Here are some amazing and deep quotes on education for you to take home, and hope it impacts your reasoning with an amazingly positive energy.
 
‘If you complain of neglect of education in sons, what shall I say with regard to daughters, who every day experience the want of i...t? With regard to the education of my own children, I find myself soon out of my depth, destitute and deficient in every part of education. I most sincerely wish ... that our new Constitution may be distinguished for encouraging learning and virtue. If we mean to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women.'ATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
 
‘I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given ... themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.’
 
‘If any proof were needed of the progress of the cause for which I have worked, it is here tonight. The presence on the stage of the...se college women, and in the audience of all those college girls who will someday be the nation's greatest strength, will tell their own story to the world.’

How did you end up in Turkana and other stories...

How did you end up in Turkana??? I get this question a looot! I guess many ask this because of the preconceived biases based on what they have either watched on telly or heard. It's a simple lack of exposure to the beauty of Turkana. If anything, I encourage questions about Turkana so people can learn. It's either that (free) or you come visit (learn). So.... My name is Esther Mwangi, and yes I am from Turkana. To make it short, my Dad came to Turkana 54 years ago as an Accounting Clerk. Mum followed 11 years later. The two have together made a name for themselves and have become a great part of the community. That means, I was born, bred, educated, and nourished at the heart of Turkana in Lodwar. I did not end up here, this is home. A selfie of me in a full Turkana regalia. Many know Turkana for its climatic condition, and being sorrounded by three countries comes with its challenges, and that may be the other reason we are known for. Hey, we have our challenges but, allo...

My 12-year career journey: A reflection

-

As I reflect on my 12-year journey across various sectors— including private sector (from real estate, PR agencies, hospitality, consultancy), non-profit, and now government— I've gathered invaluable insights that I wish I had known at the start of my career.  Mind you, it took me a while to land a permanent job that I was reffered to as a professional volunteer. I am eternally grateful because volunteering shaped me. In my first 'real' job, I was featured on Parents Magazine Africa- Phenomenal Women- "Don't sit waiting for a job, volunteer and doors will open". I was a very young woman in a managerial position in a real estate company then. Doors did open, and I pray they stay open.  Each experience has shaped my perspective, and I'm eager to share these lessons in the hopes that they resonate with those just starting on their professional paths. I am a work in progress and enthusiastic about the future. So, before diving into my insights, I urge everyone...

FRIENDSHIP UNCURTAINED

The best time to make a friend is when you do not need one. Friendship comes in a very weird and unplanned manner. Think of how you became friends with your own best friend, where and how you met, who said hi, or did you just start talking. Was it funny, fun, or totally out of place? What was your first impression of them? were you introduced to each other or did you just make friends? Two words best describe this; a relationship and mutual. So, there has to be a relationship between two or more people, who hold a mutual understanding for each other. A relationship is an association between two people that may be short or long term. it may also be intimate or interpersonal. Mutual on the on the hand means  reciprocal, with respect or towards the other. Friendship in essence then means you have the other person in mind, you consider how they feel and how they are doing at all times. Friendship is simply selfless. A friend is someone who you first know well, understand e...
