For the children without a place to called home, my heart bleeds! For the suffering masses in the continent called Africa & all over the world, I bow in tears! And what shall I say about those that lost their lives in the fight for justice and fairness in my country, in Kenya, in Uganda etc? They fought for their human rights; They wanted good governance; They clamoured for a sustainable environment. Yet, their voices seemed unrecognised. . . until they died! Then, I begin to ponder in my heart "Is there hope at all for Africa, and is there hope that things will work out well?" Now I know that there is Hope. Looking beyond today I see a brighter future. I see the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) bringing positive relief and changes. Then shall my heart bleed no more. « return. |
