Been you its Great thing’ but been somebody else it’s impossible

Once we all have our difficult time and time in life when things does not work as per our wish and wished to change everything but the fortune does not come over night, I may be the dumpiest or unlucky dude but for sure we always say every dog has it day!

I once dreamed to be happiest helping the needy in our society and seeing the changes in our society where people wake up to achieve their goal and feel happy and be part of society where everyone care and help each other.

I know I WROTE and I will keep doing so for those around my circle I have talked a lot of things I may have begged for thousands of time’s for your help but how I can stop or say nothing while am still in need of your help! If I have power over my hand to ask and change and have everything I need today I would be happiest Guy in the world and I will move the mountain, bring joy where there is sadness, build and prepare the better future for those need it and share only the happiest moment and greatest news every day of my life.

To those few who have not noticed this is one of my difficult year of all it not yet end but I Have a lot of complication issues and my work resulting to nothing as income to serve my living I have tried few other things just to earn living but it does not cover enough my personal and other needs requirement to serve and do as I wish to do for organization and our programs.

The other day I was ashamed I had to call for a meeting with my youth colleagues to talk of our coming plan event but it happen to me I did not have even fare to take me to the meeting not even a money to do print out or buy a cup of tea for myself and other youth as part of motivation.

What a shame I wish I could drop my title now and say am just a village farmer but the question is do we still have enough land to do farming? Ooh no I do not think so even that will not help! So what now Ben’ what a best way to earn living?

When am down and stressed up or let not say stressed but worried of one thing or another because I feel I need this or that I always try to find solution by myself get out talk with people share or keep it by myself for while because if everybody is not Benjamin there are those who would love to help and those who wait to hear and ‘’say him again’’ or those who wait to see you fail and go down and ‘’say bravo we knew he can’t go far’’!!

Anyway let me just say if you can, I will be glad to share and hear from you, if you can help well it would great thing for me if you know something much better which we can help each other earn living I will be much more glad to hear from you!

There many people who give me courage and am so glad to have them and their support even writing this small message I could not be able to write if not them, their support me get credit get internet to share learn and listen and hear what others doing in the other world. Thanks a lot, also those give promise advice, acknowledgement, write back, and share with friends, or challenges me, am glad to have you and hear and share with you!! Asante Sana (thanks a lot)

Kindly IF you get this message you are special and I personally invite you to share with me your personal view of overcoming current economic challenges we are facing and also if you can you can join me in my blog at http://unclebenmylifemywork.blogspot.com

I may not the best writer but I try to express myself as much as I can the other day a friend said to me why always  seem so unhappy as you used to be, tell me friend how can  I be like I used to be after trying for more than five years working to make change but I have became challenge myself because every day I learn I found new challenges which come from those in needs but poor Ben he still not achieved his goal to manage change those sorrow and sadness moment in other people life.  

Today my body, my work, my challenge it is only mine when am sleeping in my bed, my mind is mine only when am deep in my sleep why because every day every time I wake up I start thinking of what I started and other poor people challenges and what I can do to change someone life as it my goals in my life, my life today does not value anything if I can’t do something for somebody else, my life today worth nothing if I can’t see a way of achieving my Goals which is to bring change to somebody else life.

So How can I be happy if when or what I try does not bear fruits?  A mother happiest moment is to see her children happy feed up and with satisfaction, Father happiest moment is to see his children got every basic needs and progress in life,  and everyone has his/her happiest moment so do not judge me by been who I am but I wish you can put yourself in my shoes.

If YOU wanna help there is always an open door and there is so many ways of helping but you have to choose wisely which way you want to help and what kind of help you can over and remember every one is special you are special too and we are all unique with different talent, potential wisdom and power to make change to someone life…. Start today to think or quick look up and think of what you can do to safe somebody else life… it never too late or it can be too late anyway and then you are left saying I WISH  I knew I could done something! Do not WAIT for that moment it not promising one so do something while you can at the right time and right place…….

Lastly Uncle Ben continues please can you be my motivation mentor and follower – I WOULD much happy to hear your comment and anything! May God bless you and give those beliefs in him changing one soul at time and making life possible for those who need our support to fulfill our mission in this world.

May you have Good day, Great week, blessed month, brilliance year!

Uncle Ben

What is most important operation Linda Nchi or operation linda mwananchi?

Or who is fooling who now, who will be the victim at the end of the day?

Just the question is who will be the victim at the end of the day! Where are we heading to what will be the future of our children it on the other day most media news hit on our doors with this unsolved issues between our government and our teachers ‘’Industrial Court Judge Pyrum Ongaya issued orders on Friday declaring the teachers strike unconstitutional following an application by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Teachers on Saturday said they would proceed with their planned strike in defiance of the court order’’ (story courtesy of daily nation)

Operations in most public schools have been paralyzed as the teachers strike over pay started.

In many schools, pupils were sent home while in others, the learners revised alone in classrooms as their teachers either idled away in staffrooms or attended union meetings when all this going to end and we respect and stop destroying the innocent children mind!! Truly not only teachers with this stress on financially budgeting and economy difficult, last two weeks away doctor in specific hospital like our national hospital Kenyatta went on strike too leaving the sick un attendance, who is the victim at the end of the day?

Everybody talk of economy stress business not going on well and so on a normal Kenyan life has become too much work and working and result you get only basic needs which it is not even enough to cover everybody in the family needs and other necessary like education and medical bills.

It only the other day I was discussing with youth in Kawangware about our environment and how we as youth we need to come up with idea of cleaning and educating our society of environmental but by the end of the day we all had question to our selves, yes we pay tax today, some places like Nairobi have introduced house owners to pay for house tax revenue for their houses and it the other day the mayor of Nairobi was saying a lot of money is collected from house revenue but the question is where is the money taken from all collection made? The cabbage sewage is all over our street, tax we pay house revenue we pay but who will be the victim at the end of the day!

Yes we all need to think of something to change our society and volunteer our service but every time nothing will come out just like that if we need to mobilize youth and society we need little cash to do so but who is ready to cheap in and contribute for this noble idea? That one of the challenge we have today in our society…. Today I was talking with a friend of mine from France she was shocked after visiting Kibera slum and got to walk inside the slum and what she show she told me not even cow or goat in France are accepted to live is such environment and she told me after seeing this she cried for that emotions of not understanding what happening here…. Life can be such unfair sometime I always say this most of time and some of us cannot understand why life is like this! But’’By the end of the day who is the victim?

Back to the school children and the teachers everybody has freedom to express themselves and right to claim for their right but the question is when two bulls fight who is the victim by the end of the day, our innocent children who to blame? Am not sure who!!! But for sure our future is in our hands friends, something need to be looked upon just imagine for sure this is the end of year and the most crucial time for some of the students in primary/secondary level upgrading to the next level, what are we adding in such children mind if their left alone when they really need us for proving what they have been doing for all primary level or secondary, fear trauma which leaves them without option but to start judging the world the way their want.

Yesterday again the talk between the teachers and the government failed that means our children they are not going to school soon it has to take another twist for our leaders to come up with solution and who are the victim at the of the day!

The truth is most of the students who are found in the middle of this game between our government and teachers are the children from very poor family who can’t be able to take their children in private school and all the result of this you do not need to ask, how can they compete with others by the end of year when they time was wasted and left alone to study by themselves where others get first hand support from well motivated teachers in their private school.

The true is everything is not fair not for the children or their teachers every worker I am sure you agree with me on this, to perform well in their working place they all need motivation’ just tell me how can a teacher concentrate in classroom teaching the children while his/her mind thinking for dept she/he need to repay? Even if we want to help our society and change the future of rich getting much richer and poor getting much poorly we have to start looking the fact our poor family children can’t perform well in school because those who teach them they are not well yet and that give those other high position on high school and universities that means when we get back to employer they look for our back ground of our performance and who get the high Job? Who’s the victim again?

Love is giving and forgiving and be there for each other!!

When I was little I learnt to be honest and go for what I want even if is crying I could do it to make sure my mum give me what I want but now I have grow up still I go for what I want but the different there is no one to cry for to demand of what I want unless my lord who is the provider and giver of everything we want in this world.

Every day of my life I ask myself this the some question every day why the world is so much unfair to many innocent human being and what I can do to make change to someone life get rid of the sorrow and sadness plus stress of poverty and make that someone rejoice the fruits of been human.

Just it is the other day I was discussing with my colleagues the challenges of us as youth and how many thousands of young people who have finish their schooling and still jobless and still how many could not finish up that schooling for one reason or another and too are jobless! How can we change the situation if the love which we were taught by our mother faded away is it true love is forgiving, giving and be there for each other? (that my question to you today)!

How many of us belief in this love? I once promised myself to be the best and serve those I can to my level best be a role model to my society and my fellow youth and our children for the sake of love because I believed in love and thought love is the greatest gift we can offer to our world and to each other.

I have seen and heard of great people with a lot of properties a lot of money and proudly and lively in their life but none of them take away of their wealth with them to the grave the only left memories of them.

Life is best when we has human practice the three words in our daily duties loving, forgiving and giving how can we be if there is no pure love how can we be happy if there is no forgiving from our friends how can it be if we are not given support, assistance in our daily lives?

There is a lot of evil and unrest if we luck the three words in our life’s just for example I was looking for the news in our one Nation Tv station on the violence between two tribes in Coastal Kenya and current for just of small thing which started with one man losing his life it has extended to over 50 people lives and animals because the community lucked the three basic words love, forgiving and giving. If we show love to our neighbors’ and forgive to go against our wishes and give/ or share the little we have with love there will be no conflict of any, love is greatest weapon we has human God provided us for free.

This my story this my life (when I started writing about myself and thought if I join my words and create my blog even today I do not know who read it who knows about me  but I will never give up writing when I can and express my feeling and desire to this life because no one knows time or hour, one day I will go and go and I will not be able to talk write see meet and tell people of what I think but today I have that opportunity to share write and tell you what I think and whom I am and intend to do or wish to!

When the day will arrive I will go and I will be in peace and happily and I will be glad maybe somebody somewhere will read my words get inspired and do what I wished in my time on her/his time,

Do you know how many times I have cried on my bed and wished the morning will bring a new day with blessed where human will turn to each other and realize we are all equal and by the end of the day we are searching for one thing? Love, success, satisfactions and feel human (by been recognized by others) and we cannot achieve this if every day we work on our personal benefit but if we wake up and realize the success of my neighbors’ or my friends is benefit to us too that the day the world will be filled with love and complete happiness.

When I started reading this book written by Ani Kalayjian and Donique Eugene (mass trauma and emotional healing around the world) it acted as an eye opener for another opportunity of rethinking how in millions years million’s human being we have kept been a victim of disasters, weather natural or human-made, Doctor Ani she said the world need more meaningful healing and I agree with her 100% our world need more than just gospel preaching there so much need to equalize people mentally and spiritual to work together with a common goal.

For the world to be the way we want it to be we have to work extra mile together to understand each and everyone else goal and start filling the gap’s which as human we have ignored for a long time, it you or me who can make the change to our world to make it much more meaningful, peaceful, better and a world where every human is respected and recognized with his/her personality of love and wishes.

I want and it my dream to share and find a solution to help those in need and my situation it’s not promising on my own and it my hope because that what keep me one day one person among many millions of human will find a way for me and hold my hand and walk with to my path to help and do as my wishes…..

Lastly for today everything we have is God’s gift in this world and only him can prove the wrong and the right I maybe not the best or good as you may wish but what I have and I am it’s great than what you may think! If you wanna help do it not for me but for others who will benefit from it am only the bridge which need repair but still can help you pass to the other side. May the true love of forgiving and giving walk with you and guide you toward building much better meaningful world for every human to rejoice and feel belonged!

Thanks and best wishes

Uncle Ben!!

Just me and my Life and work! can You Help!

Hello it my hope you are doing fine kindly it for while before I wrote a long general email and it my hope you keep up date my other communication update, as I always say life come with a lot of surprises everyday but the most important thing of all is to be alive and have people around you who support you and care for you all the time, and am so glad to have you as my friend and share with you all the time. Recently I have been working on youth Training and YVC organization long term solution for it grow and sustainability in office maintenance, official and other requirement for organization to carry out the daily activities.

The work it is kind difficult and challenging to make sure everything is running smoothly and every side is considered as per our goals I have communicated with so many personnel those profession on organization mobilization of resource, activities and programs support, and volunteers participation on organization daily activities supports but it’s still too difficult to secure trustworthy organization or people who can understand my small brain (head) and agree to work with me 99% in supporting the program or volunteering their full time in doing something for organization.

This one reason am writing this email to you today I still need your help your ideas and if you know any good organization which we can partner with them in long term of exchange program for volunteers, resource mobilization and any other support toward achieving our goals.

Currently am sharing an office with one of our partners in Nairobi and made my house my biggest office when I need to concentrate more in my work but I would be glad to have good office near our project in Kibera where our youth are who I really need to involve them in organization daily business which due to today’s challenges they cannot manage to travel or move from there to where we have an office current,  so kindly if you have any idea I would be glad to hear from you and anything would be great remember sometime money is just one of many bridge to success but it is not the success we are the success to what we really wish to achieve.

My second sharing today is for my greatest life dream or I call desire to my life (Hope children and Empowerment center) it is my goal and my dream to build and finish up this center where community children, youth and women can have opportunity and open ground to participate, learn, share, interact and show their culture and goal in life.

It for while now from the first day we put the foundation stone and am glad for everything we have already done and there is no time I will stand and boost to myself say it me I have done all that but it all come from friends people who learn and understand me and knew I have that talent and heart of sharing, and that what am proud of today there someone out there like you who trust me and listen and shared , motivated and told me yes Ben it possible and because of you or one of my friends  a lot have been done and so much is going to come from that one stone foundation we started with.

Current we are training of fifteen young people on various income generating activities to support them and make the active in community and help them from drug, alcohol and other idleness youth behaviors which end them to more challenges and multiply of poverty in society.

Last weekend I had a visit where we shared with them a lot and they told me of things they would like to do, (to achieve)and it true am not sure if I can be able to provide them with all necessary so to achieve their goal but we will give them what we can….. because for while (past) I got this idea everything is possible if you believe in yourself am sure pole pole and from help of people like you I will be able to guide them till we achieve some of our goals as organization.

I have shared with many people of ideas and things we need to do, by the next months we shall be on road looking who will buy soap and candles from us   apart from that we are hoping if we are lucky enough we shall receive some refurbished computers (from one organization from USA) for training youth and community in large which also used as information sharing from other world and our society.

The other issue is we are still looking people or organizations which support us in buying public address, drama club acrobatic tools and uniform and other public event hiring items which we intend to use as income generating for organization.

Last thing which is much difficult and stressing me day and night is the fact that there so much I need to achieve and I do not have idea how I will overcome them, one even if as organization we are working together to achieve the goals in activities supporting the generally population community I have few things, one like building I still need a lot in building the center and I have no idea anymore but I need good classroom, dormitory, finish up guest house, build up dining hall which will be multipurpose plus the Hope offices!

Lastly I would like to thanks those who have so much sharing ideas, supporting me financially listening and thinking of us all the time Asante sana… just remember! You do not need to move the mountain to make the change!

Thanks and keep in touch

Have you ever reached to a point of blank point in your life!

Everybody every day, each and every one of us we dream and hope to achieve our goals in life but have ever woken up one day and felt that you can’t work anymore you can’t think any more or there is too much you need but as much you have been moving up and down to achieve your goals there is nothing so far you have accomplished yet! You have worked and worked so much but just look one day you woke and realize there is still so much you need to do to achieve your goals! Point blank

Too much politic too much noise too much of law too much of freedom! Where our world is ending to! I work every day in a very simple life style and meet many different people from different back ground but every day I found each and every one of us has kind of challenges in her or his life, my question is what went wrong to us as human being, life does not give break to relax to refresh our minds, after working so hard to achieve our day goals, week, month or year in our life there is always a point blank where you find there is one very important thing you still need you did get it! And this can leave you with no space to enjoy and rethink of all what you have done until you get it! Somebody once said everything in life is circle and it true, very true believe me of not there will be no a day you will wake up and say I have achieve more than I wanted now I can sit down and enjoy the fruits of my work! Yes majority of us we always work hard promising our self after achieving our goals we shall relax and enjoy our great fruits of our work but for sure how many of your friends or people who you know have worked for a certain period of their time in life but now they are just enjoying what they have worked for not worrying or thinking we still have one more think we need to do or get!!

From last month or two I started a field work meeting the ageing people to their home and for sure not only young or middle aged people in challenges as the says say even the rich cries does the same say could be told even the old cries!

Many people spend too much of their life worrying of small things and forget that life is not stopping and our body are not stopping growing old and end up carrying their worries till the ageing life which they could have changing when they were young.

our new partners school in Ruiru

Few days ago I visited our partner’s organization that support children in education and I was sharing with them why many children are not doing well in schooling and different challenges their face as the teachers in school! We as parent we have a lot to do to our children but majority of parent think the work of education or teaching/educating kids it only the work of teachers and also majority we think when we take our children to school they get everything they want there! It’s great to make sure our children go to school learn and be equipped with life skill but also it very very important for us like parent to make sure our children grow up respectful in society and learn behavior from school and in our home as while as life skill.

I may be a talker and listener but it not my wish to be who I am but it my desire to share, create more than human understanding which push me to be who I am today. Just the other night I had a dream in my center happily with so many children running around me and I said thank lord I worked so much I spend so much time thinking of how I can make change to someone life but you have shown me the vision I will follow it till I successes in my desire because this world you gave us we have a lot more need to be done to fulfill your mission in bringing us here!

Do you know every little small thing I do for others and I see a smile in their faces it give me motivation and challenges to know how small human can be satisfied with because most and majority of people who really need help they do not need a mountain of help but little gesture of your time mostly encouragement and direction! But why that is not possible friends just little of your time for somebody what God give you for free something you never went to school to learn or borrowed from somewhere it always yours build in you, born in you and the worse things if you do not use it well when you can, you will go with it! Humanity is all we want from each just little time of our self to share learn and be there for others…….

Today I was talking with youth who are registering for youth training by one Ngo in Kenya for different courses as part of empowering youth in development, majority of this young people aged between 18 and 26 are single mothers and when you ask them what happen or why their do not stay with children fathers, many say it because even when their got the babies they have with the guy their didn’t plan to have the child but because of the challenges their face in life they did not have any option, it was in process of searching for daily bread and so on and the worse thing’ this mistake (thing) or problem are you wish to call it is repeated several and you find a young girl under the age of 28 years with more than one child from different men! When they get the first one the go out to search for food the one they have and end up getting another lover who will provide them with food but at the end of the day’, they end up giving them a second baby. What a life??

Point blank friends when will we end up human suffering in our world and start acting like human being? If you look this kind of situation do you see a bigger challenge coming and that why mostly here in Africa poverty will never end because everyday children are born out wedlock and end up with single mother who cannot provide this children with everything their need and that the challenge we need to work on from the start relationship of girl and boy is not bad thing but if it driven blindly it keep us getting back to where we started,

The point here is education just ordinary education does not change our youth behavior but if we all behave like human care of each other and be there for each other we can end up small challenges keep pushing us backward in our life! Let think together and look your neighbors your community members as your fellow human being who need you and you need them in time of need, let us like parent think of education/ learning of our children and be the first best teachers to our children when their grow up have strong foundation to guide them in life challenges.

My greatest dream/wish in life is to build one kid at time a better strong and healthful foundation which will bring not only for her/her benefit but the whole society if life allow me today finish up the center am building and manage to create few income generating activities for the center will do great and try reach as many soul as I can!

Just wishing all my great follower of Uncle Ben blog and Hope Blog happiness in their life and thanking you so much for your time hoping one if God keep us a together sharing one day my today words you will see them as activities! Be blessed and remember making a change to someone life it does not need so much of earthly materials but one’s personal interest!

Uncle Ben
