“Zero Harm” is a “do not” target. “Do” targets are possible, while “do not” is often impossible. The focus should be on aspects like “the best available and reasonable safety practices”, or “improved measures” or “better hazard/ risk identification.” These are things that can be done. If you tell me “do not get injured”, I am going to ask you “How will I not get injured?” What will your answer be? (If you do have an answer, I bet it will probably be a list of things I should DO.) - Wynand Serfontein – 2014

As the government of Kenya strives to regain a terrorism-free Kenya, lets all remember to pray for the Nation and for brotherhood among all Kenyans.

Education is the great engine of personal development.It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor,that the son of a mine worker can become the head of a mine, that the child of a farm worker can become the president of a great nation.

Binyavanga Wainaina comes out of the closet. He boldly admits to being gay and having the knowledge of his sexual orientation since he was five years old. He writes,

"I am five when I close my self into a vague happiness that asks for nothing much from anybody. Absent-minded. Sweet. I am grateful for all love. I give it more than I receive it, often. I can be selfish. I ma******te a lot, and never allow myself to crack and grow my heart. I touch no men. I read books. I love my dad so much, my heart is learning to stretch.

I am a homosexual."


Whereas it easy to ostracize and condemn gayism in the community, the dynamics change when when the person coming out of the closet is family.

How would you react if your sister/brother/mother/father or cousins told you today that she or he is gay?
In what ways would it change the your perception of gayism and gay rights?

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

It is our humble prayer, that the leaders of southern Sudan come to an understanding to resolve the civil strife in their country.
