Wave of Change

The Festive season is approaching and the cause is still rolling on. We have recently have a wave of change through our volunteers, who has made great impact in our projects hence brightening the lives of orphan kids. We have had wonderful volunteers who are a crucial part of our cause. The volunteers has worked towards our vision and as a result, a smile has been mounted on the kids faces. They worked so hard at Home Delegate where the kids are having a good times with these volunteers. The kids are experiencing exposure and learning on skills that will help them in future life. As we continue with this cause, more volunteers are needed to keep the projects rolling. Volunteers and other people/organization who would want to be part of this worthy cause should send us an email through  muunganointl@ymail.com we will be glad to get you involved in a cause that will change lives.

Passionate about life

Passionate living

Yesterday i was roaming around with many thoughts occupying my mind about positive and passionate living. I reasoned with myself about how to change a life of a person and trigger a difference.  As I approached the bus stage, I felt a touch on my left hand accompanied by a feint hoarse voice “Uncle nibuyie kachai” meaning uncle, buy me a cup of tea. When I took time and looked, I saw a young boy with tattered clothes and with no shoes staring at me.

In my pocket, I had a hundred shillings with me which I had planned to get to town with and then back. When I looked at the boy, he looked hopeless, hungry and weak, and I thought to myself how I could help him. As this happened, I recalled my previous thoughts on changing lives. I asked him his name and told him to come with me to a sideway cafe as we chat. I asked the boy what he   would take and he said he had not eaten for the last couple of days but since asking for food would appear hard to many people, that’s why he settled on asking for a cup of tea from any person. Some of them would abuse him and spit on him while calling him Chokora (street boy) I ordered a plate of food for him and told him to relax and eat.

After a few minutes he was through and the plate appeared like if it had not heard any food for the last few hours. The boy was full and I thought it was good to know more about him.  I again confirmed his name as Karanja and carefully interrogated him for more information. He explained to me things until I felt tears in my eyes. His mother and father had died long ago out of AID’s when he was six years old and now he is thirteen years.  He explained to me that after the death of his parents, his grandparents started mistreating him and he ran away to the town they were previously living with his parents before they died and which is the town we are in. one lady took him and returned him to school and vowed to help him for the better part of his school life but unfortunately after one year,

Not yet

Hello people,  upto this point we can say boldly that change is inevitable and for real it is. We have achieved much and are still improving to do much, in actual sense, we have not done anything yet compared to what we are up to. We have taken in another home by the name Home Delegate. We eagerly need English and mathmatics teachers, Sport trainers, people who can teach hygiene to the children, people that can help in cooking, building and taking care of animals.

Giving back to the community is the best thing and that act of kindness or assistance will never depart from you, if you do good from the bottom of your heart, that good will come back to you in one time. Actually caring for orphans and helping them is lending God. The bible says "Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble."  Psalms 41:1

So keep on keeping on to see that you become one of the changers  and improvers of life, this can be done in various ways like  prayers, virtual volunteering, physical volunteering, sponsoring or even mobilizing a team to do this.

So far we have volunteers that are expected to be with us in July through to August, and if you feel like you wanna join them to show your love and become a changer of life, you are most welcome. Also if your position in the work place can allow you, just take time and see how you can mobilize and look for school stuff like writting pads, pencils and biro pens, rubbers, school shoes and other school materials since we also eagerly need them.

Feel free as you scroll down the blog to view more and learn more and as you purpose to be one of a change makers.

NEXT LEVEL

Hello guys, am sure you have been doing great. We are cool here at muungano, still pushing the campaign to change lives to the next level. we've been having several volunteers in this month of December and sincerely speaking they have been great with great impact to our projects.

THIS IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS PHOTO TAKEN AT ALPHA JOY IN NDEIYA ON THE 3RD 0F DECEMBER So far we have started visiting IDPs that were displaced by the post election violence to give them food, give them hope of living and offering medical care to the malnutritioned kids and pregnant mothers, we have discovered that the rate of HIV/AIDs is rising due to the poverty found in this place. in this case we still need more volunteers/helpers who have expertise in fields of medical and are willing to change a life and make a difference. Others with a big heart are also welcome to make a difference in lives of the less fortunate kids/orphans and mothers. The final news is that we have a new, more competence and good looking website where every detail has been well explained.follow this link to get there, http://muunganointernational.weebly.com HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY YEAR 2012
