The Tin Concept, a saving Culture.


Recently our church group decided to do a clean up, de clutter our cupboards/storage in anticipation of moving them to a new venue. Any time you embark on a task of de cluttering and clean up it's usually a time of going back memory lane, it took us back to where we began as a group and he just laughed at the things we used those days a good example was the hard copy posters of our events we would make and pin on the notice board of various institutions. And today we create e-fliers which we circulate on electronic devices across all our social media networks. Ooh Yes times have really changed.

But what our attention was these Black boxes that had a small opening, at first we were all in agreement that we should just dispose them since to majority of  us thought they had no use and they were just occupying space for nothing. Until one of the ladies showed  us this simple concept. 

And the Concept goes like this the tin has an opening on the top where you can put money in form of notes or coins💰💰. And you decide  an amount you would like to be putting, and the duration(daily, weekly or monthly). And guess what this is a concept that you could teach your children and nurture good financial discipline from an early stage. 

This could just be a saving plan for the year 2021. And make this to be a year of making wise financial decisions. !

Indeed we need to cultivate a culture of saving!!

Street Protests (Kenya); Is It The Solution?

Image
As I begin to write this blog the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya is Hon Rigathi Gachagua aka Riggy G the truthful Man. Last year the month May was an interesting month for our beloved Nation. And will definitely be worth being noted down in the history books. Gen Z (these are children born between 1997 to 2012) organized a street protests to reject a Finance Bill & demand better governance & Accountability. Let me tell you Maina(A Kenyan Phrase) Gen Z is a powerhouse. They are Tribeless, Fearless & Leaderless. Being Leaderless could mean no one time will meetings be called & comprise takes place. We have witnessed how in the past leaders have been compromised and end up singing or dancing to the tune of the oppresor. According to Article 37 of the Kenyan Constitution every person has the right, peaceably and unarmed to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to the public authorities.  Protests sadly are not a new thing in Kenya...

The Power of A Story.

As I begin to write this blog I am reminded of the song,   This is My Story. This Is My Song.  I remember when my brother passed on. My mum and sister sat down and drafted my late brother's eulogy. I mean we have all gone to funerals and heard people's eulogies being read. But that is simply not their full story. Its just a fraction of the person's life and it has been written by another person it simply not first hand narration. The eulogies only focus on the positive side of the person's life. They don't write about the struggles, challenges, the bad or the ugly.  I remember one time during a seminar the facilitator gave us a task of writing our eulogies. Like what do we want people to hear on that day about us. A story is a full account of someone's life. It captures the places they have been, the people they have met, what they have achieved, their high & low moments. Their experiences in the various seasons they went through in life. How they navigated ...

Diversity In Culture.

Ps 133:1 - '' How good & Pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity .'' Fact - According to ChatGpt (our go to person 😅)there are 43 tribes in Kenya.  Each tribe has its own language, customs, traditional clothing, and beliefs , contributing to Kenya’s rich cultural diversity.  I remember when I was pursuing my International Baccalaureate Studies(IBS). This is a two year Post High School Course that enables students to go abroad for their University studies. You see while I was in High School I had a dream of going outside the country for my university studies. My choices were the UK or South Africa. And I remember one evening after my classes my dad came to pick me from school. I noticed by Late Brother Nathaniel (may he continue to Rest In Perfect Peace 😭😭) was not in the car. And immediately I entered the car my dad told me that he picked Nathaniel from school earlier on because he was caught in a fight with another boy. My dad told me that th...
