Njeri's Mind Out Wild

A question often posed when a relationship seems to move to the next stage or is rather confusing and the two parties are not sure where they are as far as relationship is concerned. Most of the time, one of the parties is more attached to the other than the partner. This is what actually sets confusion in and this question has to be answered in one way or another. It is hard for a lady to tell which position she holds in the heart of her presumed man, until the supposed man proposes to her. By proposing, the lady is assured of spending the rest of her life with the man she loves. Before any man is ready to settle and be committed to one woman for all his life, there are things to deal with and make final decisions before embarking on such a life full of promises and commitments which come with love. These are things which put any relationship at bay, because such are the times a lot of advices are given and taken and these could either ruin or make a relationship. That is why it...

(I found this story in my archives and i thought i should share Naomi's story with you.) Introduction Naomi Mutua doesn’t click you as prominent, but that shows how far Wangari Maathai went in the hearts of many to plant the love for trees.

The media’s focus on its main functions and the challenges from the commercial interest and promotion of media freedom. Commercial Interest                  A commercial interest here means the interest the media currently has on making profits more than its major purpose on educating, informing and entertaining the public.

Introduction Kenya, like any other country has her own challenges that pull back her strategies toward success. Kenyans suffer a lot due to the lack of knowledge about their rights. It is quite unfortunate how the Kenyan leaders use the ignorance of the people to their advantage and abuse the citizens though they make it look like they are helping them.

That in the end leads to greed and corruption, everyone using the shortest way possible to get to the top, wrong means towards wrong ends. The worst thing is, many helpless people are hurt and left to suffer, they are forgotten. Background Kenya having attained her independe...

The idea of Africa uniting is a surprisingly old proposal, with adherents dating back to 1920’s.Though the idea of a united Africa is one that began long ago but has especially grown recently as the world slowly sinks from crisis after crisis. It will be the best thing that will have ever happened to Africa as it will bring with it a lot of advantages and even give Africa the power to stand tall.                The first advantage of Africa uniting is perceived to be a much stronger voice on the international. Africa is currently the second biggest continent, a home of 53 sovereign states each with its own heritage, cultures, customs and history. This means that African states can be played against each other fairly well. If united, it would give Africa a much stronger voice. A country with approximately 1 billion people would after all be fairly strong on the International stage and would be more popular than Indi...

Background Future Hope and Baby Centre was started on February 5th, 2006. Jane, the Director of the home, liked to visit Children's Garden, an orphanage within the District where she worked as a teacher. The director of the home was a friend who was struggling to raise abandoned children. On the material day, an officer visited the orphanage to seek help with two abandoned children in need of shelter.

She never turned up. The children's officer visited Jane and her family and was happy with the way Ho...

                      Children are a blessing. They come from God as gifts, and are given to us to love and to care. After all, we were all once children and we were appreciated, taken care of and celebrated. The best thing is to give back. It is important to remember we were the ones who brought them into this world.                       Children are what we make them. A child is innocent of many things that happen around him and what you tell them or teach them is what they will always know. We are responsible of what our kids take as values and vices. We are supposed to teach them manners and not scold them for what we have not instilled in them.                      Like everybody else a child grows and goes to ...
