A LORD'S PRAYER FOR ME, MYSELF, AND I

May Allah watch me when the clouds close in on me, may he be the hand that holds me when I fall, may he watch out for me when no one does and may he forgive my wrongs as much as he can bless my good deeds & intentions. Let him make sure I am wronged rather than I wrong others and last but not least, let me seek his forgiveness for the wrongs I have done.

YOUR LIFE, YOUR RULES, YOUR PRIDE,YOUR RESPECT!

The people in our lives can sometimes define who we are, what we stand for and what we believe that is, if we allow them to be in our lives. Surround yourself with the people that loves you, inspire you, motivates you, protect you and hold you on high standards. Remember your life, your grounds, your values your morals but mostly yourself respect.

HEATED BEEF BETWEEN DIAMOND & PREZZO: DIAMOND, " I HAVE NO TIME FOR PREZZO".

DIAMOND VS PREZZO

 

The claimed most paid East African Artist Diamond has Responded to the brewing beef between him and CMB Prezzo, celebrated Tanzanian singer Diamond has said he has no time responding to the Kenyan rapper’s verbal jibes.
“I have no business responding to Prezzo. My life is busy. I am a businessman with a calendar to watch and profits to count,” said the Nataka Kulewa singer.
In what was seen as an insult directed to Diamond by Prezzo last week, the Liqher singer alluded that he did not know the Tanzanian star as he tweeted:
“Unfortunately, the only diamonds I know are the ones on my neck.” He went on to say:
“You are talking money or nonsense…” before going ahead to write unprintable words.
The verbal exchange comes barely a month before Diamond kicks off his much awaited Kenyan tour.
My thoughts to this: Glad to see Diamond finally maturing in this music industry.

YOUR PURPOSE YOUR INNER PEACE by Anna Salim

                                                         Your purpose your Inner peace.

When you know your purpose in this world you must humble yourself and be ready for whatever out come may come your way. Remember you are touchable but never unbreakable because your purpose, your talent and your kindness were given to you by God not by mankind. The out side force will always find away to attack you, bring you down or discourage you but if you have found ground and found inner peace in what you do, whom you are and what you stand for, then negativity will only be your motivation to always do your very best because you will now prove to yourself, you have mastered the simple way of facing your obstacles with a clear mind while doing what you do best....By Anna Salim inspired by a friend...

NAPENDA KUWA INSPIRED ( I LOVE BEING INSPIRED)

 

 

                              Find the desire to give and you will find the desire to live and love life.

HISTORY OF WAGOMA, BONDO DISTRICT
Wagoma is a village in Bondo District, along the shores of Lake Victoria, 35 kms away from Bondo, with a population of 3500 people within the sub-location, and 238,780 living in 56,607 households within the district. The children in this village still have limited access to education due to lack of basic utilities like clothes, food and other dignity materials, particularly for girl child, who often drop out of schools. Even if they are able to reach past primary education, few make it to secondary schools due to lack of fees and other social dynamics attributed to the impacts of HIV and AIDS and poverty. (TAC Report, 2011).
Most of the children orphaned by AIDS have been taken in by extended family members. However, the large number of orphaned and vulnerable children is overwhelming this traditional copying mechanism. Elderly female caretakers or children themselves are heading many of these households and with no income, they lack resources needed to support these additional children and provide essential food, clothing and school fees. Conversely, for the children to cope and/or ensure the survival of their younger siblings, most orphans are being forced to find some sources of income.
The main source of income in the village is fishing and peasant farming, which is often affected by the erratic rain pattern. The village has 56 homesteads, with 74 orphans and 92 partial, making a total of 166 orphans in the tiny lakeshore village. According to the National Population Policy for Sustainable Development, Bondo District Strategic Plan, 2005-2010, orphan hood associated with HIV/AIDS deaths is on the increase, and the prevalence rate is at 95% and rising, the study shows 1/3 of the current population will have perished in 5yrs and diminished in 10yrs, living women and child headed families. This then requires the urgent need for special programmes and new ways of handling the scenario at the lakeside village. 

I WILL BE COVERING ROSELINE'S PROJECT SO PLEASE CHECK OUT THE FOUNDATION AND SEE WHERE YOU CAN HELP.

	A LOOK AT  ROSELINE'S WORK.

The inspiration to her work but the reason to their smiles.

A WORLD WITHOUT JUSTICE: ONE OF ZIMMERMAN'S JUROR # B37 SIGNS A BOOK DEAL AND CALLS TRAVVON A "Boy Of Color"

I can still remember like it was just yesterday when I first came to Canada and I was called a Nigger but lucky enough, as young and innocent as I was, I had the man power to over look the arrogant man and walked away but little did I know after almost ten years I am still living to see another generation go what our grand parents went through. This is one case that has left some of us speechless and for those that are cashing on this innocent soul's death May God truly forgive them and let non of their future generation have a taste of what this poor soul went through. See for yourselves... Earlier today, Sharlene Martin, the literary agent for the juror, released a statement saying, “My hope is that people will read Juror B37’s book … and understand the commitment it takes to serve and be sequestered on a jury in a highly publicized murder trial and how important, despite one’s personal viewpoints, it is to follow the letter of the law, “It could open a whole new dialogue about laws that may need to be revised and revamped to suit a 21st century way of life. The reader will also learn why the jurors had no option but to find Zimmerman not guilty due to the manner in which he was charged and the content of the jury instructions.”

SPECIAL THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO IS SUPPORTING A FORTUNATE HAND TO A LESS FORTUNATE HAND MISSION.

Giving is an act of kindness and a blessing that only a few grab the opportunity to make a difference not just to the receiver but to the giver himself. I give thanks to Allah for such amazing friends he brought in my life. My life would not have been the same without them and neither would this project. My desire to give and help others is not because I have more than I should but simply because God has put me in this position and he has given me friends who gives me more than I can give.As we go through the second week of A Fortunate Hand To A Less Fortunate Hand, let me take this post to thank all of you again. I am truly humbled and touched and May God Bless you for all your donations and support.

BEN POL: A PARTNER, SPONSOR AND A TANZANIAN SPOKESPERSON FOR "A FORTUNATE HAND TO A LESS FORTUNATE HAND MISSION".

Ben Pol has created waves this year, from his a ward winning for best singer/song writer,controversial JIKUBALI song that not only has it created some serious buzz in Tanzania but it has stayed on top of the charts and has also been the most requested song for weeks now. But beside his carrier taking up,Ben Pol is now finally doing something else he has always wanted to do: GIVING BACK TO HIS SOCIETY. This sensational singer/song writer is now teaming up with Miss Anna Salim the once MisAfricanada to carry out a humanitarian mission on this special month of Ramadan.A Fortunate Hand To A Less Fortunate Hand is a project not just to help Muslims but it is a mission put together by Ben Pol and Anna Salim with great help from friends to helping the Less Fortunate citizens to the best way possible. As we carry this Mission we want to send great appreciation to our friends both in Canada, Kenya and Tanzania who are standing behind the project and have contributed and still contributing to see these families are taken cared of.

Follow Ben Pol in Kinondoni this morning as he carries out our very 1st Mission. Please take this walk with us as we give back to the society by making this Ramadan extra special. Here is what Ben was up to this morning from brainstorming, making a shopping list to actually doing the shopping himself. More pictures coming your way..........

"A FORTUNATE HAND TO A LESS FORTUNATE HAND", THIS IS MY RAMADAN WISH THIS YEAR!

I am not 100% sure what my purpose in life is but I know for a fact I love helping the less fortunate. For years I have always wanted to start a charity even went as far as working with orphans back in Tanzania but time and money did not work on my favour but Inshallah I will one day carry out this mission. For now I am happy working on what is right here in front of me and getting passionate on carrying this mission on this Ramadan is like one of my Duas have been answered . "A Fortunate Hand To A Less Fortunate Hand" is a project that I just thought of after a status I posted on Facebook after my Muslim brothers and I finished Iftar. Here I was disappointed of not being served halal meat despite the fact of me having fish on my menu. At that moment, It never occurred to me that there are not just Muslims but other people across the world who did not have an option of Iftar or a meal. That is when I felt guilty and decided to correct my wrong doings by starting this project of " A Fortunate Hand To A Less Fortunate Hand" Since this is a last minute mission I personally will be donating 35% of the funds and with the help of my friends and family and anyone wanting to help will donate whatever they can afford and we will work together to make sure 25-50 less fortunate Muslims are fed for the remaining days of Ramadan. I am currently asking people to contribute as low as $2.50-$5.00 .With that said I must say Allah has been so great just within a days of starting this project I have been able to raise $ 220.00 Even though my close friends have been the first ones to say yes to this Mission, My Biggest Admiration, I will give to a friend of mine in Kenya (Lucy Lawrence Jumba )who saw my post on face book and personally approached me wanting to be part of this project. I was shocked and happy knowing that there are people out side Canada who would love to do this but time is limiting us. Even though we have come up with a plan for her I am still asking anyone out there to go above and beyond anywhere they are and offer their Fortunate Hand to any Less Fortunate Hand and see just how great it will feel. I will be making a collections of all the pictures I might get from this mission to show you what difference we made this Ramada. So please and please let us make someone's Ramadan more special........
