I can't remember the pasword I used for my email so I have no access to your mails. I will open another one and email it to you for I fear publishing it here again since spam collectors pick email addresses and phone numbers quoted in these messages.

The future is already here!

the way I see it,SK is growing far beyond its primary role,INVESTMENT FORUM and that is great.

This is a worthy course and am in full support of it. Count me in.

Hi i have just seen this post can you tell me the name of the children's home and how i can get there? I would like to pay them a private visit.

Hi Skerians

Good people,things are not very rosy given the delayed rains yet again.I know of people from one very dry area of the country who do not have food and water. It looks like if the rains fails fo another month,hunger deaths will be reported.

The most urgent need for this people is not dams or roads but FOOD

I would request if there are skerians who are ready to skip lunch from monday (30th March09)to friday (3 April 2009) next week and donate the proceeds from the foregone lunch to save some of these people for a few more days as we wait for the rains.Donation can be in cash or in kind(dry foods).

You can do this,please get in touch with me through the above email.

Members,please check you mail boxes for updates.

Good People

This is how it all went down on Sato..

First and foremost,I’d like to Thank the following for taking time out of their busy schedule to make a difference not only in the environment,but also in the lives of the kids at the Ruiru Rehab Centre who happen to have once been hopeless orphans and street children,but can now live life positively courtesy of well wishers.

The noble and truly inspiring participants who braved the sun and difficulties to make a difference were(in no particular order)

1. Dexco

2. Shiro(whats your screen name?)

3. Alma

4. Risk taker
5. Leona

We were also lucky to have a few friends that I had invited who ended up helping us greatly coz otherwise we wouldn’t have done much due to the low turnout(planting 48 trees is no joke!). We had 7 other truly wonderful guys! and Ben,a volunteer from KU who is currently reciding at the Centre and helping around.

We managed to plant a total of 48 Trees and flowers at the Rehab centre.

Those who were there can testify that the exercise was kind of strenuous and not for the fainthearted(Lol). We had to slash grass for mulching,dig 2ft holes(square and 2ft depth) plant and water the trees in the scorching sun not forgetting that most of the earth surface at the home is murram,thus rather hard to dig!! But these was a team of strong and totally dedicated dudes and dudettes…so we made it! The kids also helped us fetch water from the neighbourhood since they don’t have water at the home,the little ones gathered manure for us and the big boys also helped us dig the holes and plant. They were very excited to be allocated trees and the homes’ staff promised to follow up on the well being of the trees since the watering bit is always a problemJ

Thank you dear SKerians for making this happen,You truly are a great community!

By the way,you can always pop in to check on the trees whenever you pass by those sides,You’re always welcome to visit anytime and when the passion fruits are ready,you’re free to drop by for a biteJ

We also discussed the possibility of starting a rabbit keeping project as a way generating income for the home,we hope we’ll discuss it further and see if it’s a viable project. They already have a very thriving organic vegetable garden that awed all of us! It’s doing sioooo well

Next time i hope we'll have more guys showing up,coz its only ME and YOU who can make a difference in this world. Forget the leaders/politicians...just do what YOU can.

Have a great day and God bless

@Dexco,Alma,Shiro & Risktaker,Pliz don’t eat me as yet…I’ll send you the pics soonest possibleJ
