A Donkey used to carry 70 kg uphill. It's owner increased the weight to 80 kg. Donkey struggled but continued to climb. After few days, owner increased weight to 90 kg. Donkey resisted & refused to work. So owner reduced weight to 85 kg. Now donkey is happy.
RUTO IN A NUT SHELL
Wild animals are dying in our national parks due to cyanide poisoning. It started with Elephants, it's now affecting other animals. Sodium cyanide is used to extract gold during mining, and reports indicate that water sources in Amboseli have been contaminated. Illegal mining is happening in our National parks. Kenyans need to raise their voices. Our wildlife must not be sacrificed to protect the interests of cartels.
This is so sad!! 💔
In July 2023 while in Grade 4, Benaiah Mwendwa reported to school like he always did. As he was going through his day, it is alleged that he was slapped more than seven times consecutively by a teacher at Nyali School for playing in class. This allegedly led to internal bleeding in the middle ear, and since then, Benaiah’s life has never been the same.
Benaiah has been battling a severe illness involving multiple inner ear and nerve complications, resulting in constant pain, facial paralysis, loss of balance, and complete hearing loss in both ears. As you can see, a child who was born healthy is currently experiencing stroke-like symptoms.
He has been treated by a multidisciplinary team of doctors, including ENT specialists and surgeons, neurosurgeons, neurologists, physicians, pediatricians, physiotherapists, and rheumatologists from various hospitals, including The Nairobi Hospital, Aga Khan, Gertrude’s, Pandya Hospital, Jocham Hospital, Nairobi West, Nyali Children’s Hospital, as well as multiple consultants in their private clinics, but his condition remains unresolved.
This has affected his education, social life, and hobbies, and he is also dealing with psychological trauma. He is currently undergoing therapy and the family is hoping for the best. The family has since moved to court to seek justice, but as we all know, the justice process can be slow.
The longer they wait, the more his condition worsens. The family is humbly seeking financial support to enable him to receive specialized treatment in India and, hopefully, restore his health, at an estimated cost of KSh 1.5 million. The anticipated travel date is 5th August 2026.
Your contribution will bring hope to Benaiah and his family. Kindly channel your support through:
