REUSABLE PADS TAILORING WORKSHOP ON LOGOS SHIP


As Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful tool with which you can change the world”.

It was Mombasa volunteers turn to teach the 100 girls from Mbaraki and Bondeni primary School, who boarded the world’s largest floating book fair-Logos Hope Ship- skills on how to make reusable sanitary pads. This was a lifetime experience as the idea was just unique, Tailoring workshop inside the popular ship- together with Kenya Red cross society, they made it happen.

I extend my gratitude to Kenya Ports Authority in collaboration with the Logos Hope for materializing this memorable session.

The experience will forever float in these young girl’s minds as the coolest health transformational moment in their lives.

SEX IN EXCHANGE FOR PADS!

Girls  deserve the right to basic needs. The right to gradually be the directors of our lives as we keep maturing in every phase of life. She deserves the right to education, and experiencing a fun teenage life. This is not the case for this 13-year-old, whose life path has been altered by another human being. Transactional sex in exchange for a sanitary pad. This girl, at 13 is now forced to deal with pregnancy load, a misfortune that was unforeseen. At this age as a minor, her lack of commodity, forcing her to make uninformed choice should not have happened. Yet this is a case of a perpetuator, taking advantage of her vulnerability. She is now forced to deal with the burden of being a teenage mother. This can turn into a lifetime of traumatizing experience. This is inhumane. Our minor girls are suffering in the hands of such. Stop this cruelty today! Support without asking for sex as a trade in.

The Tsavo Tale: Aruna's Story Of A Walk With Rangers And An Encounter With Poachers.                                                   Only Elephants Should Wear Ivory We see a different Africa, a luxurious one, ensconced in tents in five star resorts, devouring international cuisine and going on safaris in top of the line safari vans. And then, one day, I met Aruna Varsani, who had taken on the challenge of venturing into a different part of Africa, the one we had only heard about, felt sad about and seen pictures of…I was shaken  to the core when I heard Aruna’s Tsavo story and looked at her detailed pictures. I began by asking Aruna the motivation behind undertaking such a unique adventure. She candidly revealed that she wanted to come out of her comfort zone (very similar to the one I am currently wallowing in) and that she wanted...
