White Gold

Ain't it good to know that you don't have to blame anyone for your life, that all you need is to work on YOU and your life will be good. White gold it is so some sensitization was happening in Molo this weekend here. A few weeks ago St. Joseph's nursing home offered a free medical camp here which was attended by the first lady of the county. Over the past few weeks they were on a role, giving free medical services to people from here in Molo all the way to Olenguruone. Great job. So the sensitization was by a large number of people mainly The Youth Banner', Pasha Center here in Molo, Intel, ICT Board Kenya, The Rockefeller Foundation, USAID, yes all those.

AD GOLD, CSR

Continuing from where I left off, coca-cola. Safaricom is almost the coca-cola of Kenya but not there yet, however with the acquisition of Kasarani the sky is the limit for them. The sponsorship of rugby series jazz international festival, safaricom live concerts, end of year parties, wow! That is BIG. I not long ago asked a friend who plays for a foot ball team in Nakuru who sponsors their team, at some time called top fry. Before he answered I knew it had to be sponsored by a foreigner. He didn't disappoint, their long time sponsor was indeed a foreigner. Why make money after all, is it not to make the world a better place? The likes of 7up have a steep hill to climb if they are to face off with coca-cola in market share competition. I recently topped up 50mb data thanks to Coke Studio collaboration with safaricom. In such campaigns people can help but be loyal to a brand. As I alluded to the story of post election violence that just being one of many cases where people l...

CSR GOLD

People were going on with their usual businesses people had earned money, had invested some spent some and saved some. A story is told of many who had bought expensive cups and kitchen ware which they had stored in their shelves and had not used them. In 1992 the place called is Olenguruone things turned out quite sour. Violence broke out and every man took to his heels and didn't look back till they were sure that the place they were in was safe probably miles away from their original home, which they had spent their hard earned money to build. Miles apart still in Kenya a place called Pokot a friend of mine was being forcefully ejected from 'his home'. But how fast people forget. The other day still in Kenya a sports event was to take place and the organizers had a meeting with the government officials concerned asking for financial assistance the government said they didn't have the money THEN COCA-COLA came to the rescue as they have done many times before, wh...

WORLD FOOD DAY

White Highland's Best Yeah! That the White Highlands Best foot put forward today in pomp and color. I love this place, once I was talking to some students and telling them how lucky they are because at their place it rains after every few hours yet in other places people have to pray and fast so that it rains. So exhibiting were A.D.C., Baraka College, Timsales (you head me right Timsales) among many others. I was fascinated by the technologies on exhibition e.g. different varies of honey, potatoes, Silos and from Timsales a prototype of a prefabricated house (whaaaat!) That's right a prototype of a prefabricated timber house. Have to give these Timsales guys credit, how many companies affect even the climate of an area, this ones have. They have re -planted forests and because of that the rains which are what this 'White Highlands' are known for have been greatly reliable. Saw a Timsales pickup ferrying a rally car, wish them all the best. So Molo's Food Day...

AD CRITIQUE

So Kenya's president was in court (ICC), the contrast the president's name is Uhuru which means freedom but the the president was not so free after all mmh! Personally I wish he gets acquitted. Golden Fry, the shortened version can make you have the blonde moments. A child waiting for dad to bring what? Cooking fat! Then you watch the full version and are able to connect the dots. Anyway respect to the guys who coordinate this ADs.

TRUE JIHAD

True Jihad Life is not easy, life is tough but if you are tough on yourself life will be relatively easy on you. Zig Ziglar My friend Paul is one dude with what I can call ruthless work ethic. But I tell you it pays big time. If your eye offends you cut it off, if your hand offends you cut it off .. Jesus To get what we want, most of the times we are forced to stretch ourselves big time. In the Bible some good Guy killed people in the camp that sinned in this age it's worse only difference is we first of all don't kill others we first become tough on ourselves. I watched some guys in some country applying jihad on others yet they themselves were being supported by drug money. Deal with the log in your eye first. If success was easy even failures could have it. If faith worked automatically everyone could have it's results, faith DEMANDS ACTION on what we believe, in speech or in respective action. I am doing some value addition on potatoes right here in this ...

DEADBEAT

Over the weekend some Members of County Assembly fought in a Secondary School during a fundraising event. Give a round of applause to these M.C.As. I almost joined Julie Gichuru to cry, how could they. In a Secondary School surely. Immediately after this was news about some old man in his nineties who participated in the coming up of the national anthem. The old man's story was aired some time ago and 90 thousand shillings the political class was not there, the governor of the area was there as the media station responsible for the story had constructed a house for the old man gave him the house. The problem I find is that of mentors, fathers. I have for some time now checked the family backgrounds of some girls that are causing ripples in the entertainment industry especially for the wrong reasons of posing nude to magazines and getting their breasts and butts extended are really girls who lacked proper upbringing. So as others behold the nude photos, the girls are hurtin...
