Greetings you beloved, ndokumbirawo repost🙏
🙏I now understand that God had a purpose for my pain, mudikani. There was a time in my life when I almost gave up on myself. Growing up with albinism was not just difficult it was painful, lonely, and traumatising. I lived with severe sunburns and untreated skin lesions because sunscreen, protective clothing, and proper medical care were simply out of reach. To many people, lacking sunscreen or a sunhat may sound like a small thing, but for a person with albinism, it can mean constant pain, permanent skin damage, and even death. As a young girl, I endured isolation and stigma every single day. At school, very few children wanted to play with me. Most of the time it was only my close family who made me feel accepted and safe. The physical pain was unbearable at times. When you go to sleep nursing raw, unmedicated sunburn wounds, there are moments when you genuinely begin to question the value of your own life. The nights were always the hardest.
Growing up in the village, you would know one or 2 fellow brothers and sisters with albinism in the village. You would suddenly hear whispers pachobhorani or gatherings
“uya akafanana nekamwana ako arwara …”
“The wounds are getting worse…”
“They now stay alone in a separate room…”
“His husband or family has abandoned him/her because they cannot manage because of the smell of the wounds…” then eventually, “They have passed away.”
Those moments cut deep into your soul. Today, after doing this work since 2019, I now fully understand why God spared me. My pain became my purpose.
Every awareness campaign, every sunscreen donation, every screening programme, every patient we assist it is personal to me because I know exactly what it feels like to suffer in silence and feel forgotten. Skin cancer cannot continue winning against persons with albinism.
I pray that in my lifetime, we will see a future where skin cancer no longer causes preventable deaths, pain, disfigurement, trauma, and hopelessness within our community. In our own small way, we are fighting back through awareness, lifesaving screenings, access to sunscreen, medical referrals, and surgery support for critical patients.
I am deeply grateful to the incredible medical practitioners who continue to stand with our community and offer their services pro bono, including Dr Mutangadura, Dr Mutukwa, Dr Makondo, and Dr Wayne Manana through the Global Cleft and Cranio Facial Organisation. These are people using their skills and compassion to restore and touching lives.
APPEAL FOR SUPPORT
On 23 May 2026, we will be returning to Masvingo Provincial Hospital with our medical team to assist critical patients with albinism who urgently require major surgeries and medical intervention. To make this possible, we are hoping to raise at least US$2,500 to help cover:
🟢Transportation for patients travelling for treatment
🟢Meals and basic support for beneficiaries
🟢Logistics and support costs for the volunteer /programing teams
🟢Analgesics and histopathology support
I am humbly appealing for your support. No amount is too small. Your contribution could help save a life, prevent further suffering, and give someone another chance at dignity and hope. If you are unable to donate, please help us by sharing this message in your network maybe a donor is in your circle.

Together, we can protect lives, restore hope, and remind persons with albinism that they are not forgotten.
A statement win from Zimbabwe! 🇿🇼
Beating Australia by 23 runs takes real character. And of course, Blessing turned out to be just that, a blessing in the truest sense, with a superb 4 wicket spell.
What an exciting tournament this is shaping up to be!
The joy of sharing the different parts of Zimbabwe with my son is something I will never take for granted.
From the vibrant locations to the quiet strength of the mountains… all the way to Mount Selinda, the place of my mother’s birth. I walked him through my childhood neighborhood in Mabvuku, and he looked around and asked:
“How did you grow up here?”
I smiled.
Because places like Mabvuku don’t just raise children — they raise whole human beings.
When you grow up understanding life from the ground up, you learn how to navigate the world from a humane space. Compassion is not theory. Empathy is not a workshop. It is lived. It is practiced. It is survival. It is community.
I told my son:
I do not practice classism — because I know what it feels like to be placed in a box because of where you were born. I have felt the weight of assumptions. And I have also witnessed the brilliance, resilience, and dignity that rises from communities too often underestimated.
We see all human beings equally.
We treat people with the same dignity and respect.
Not because it is fashionable — but because it is true.
Our African trip last year was not tourism.
It was education.
It was remembering.
It was grounding.
At the heart of it all is one question:
We are human — how do we reduce suffering for others with what we have?
That is the inheritance I want to pass on.
Scott Robertson has departed as Head Coach of the All Blacks. We wish Razor all the best with his next steps.
A process will commence immediately to recruit a new Head Coach.
Dear Heavenly Father, as I stand at the doorway of 2026, I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. Before this new year fully unfolds, I place my life, my family, my work, and my future into Your hands. Go before me, and destroy every plan of darkness set against my life.
By the authority of Jesus, every curse that tried to follow me from previous years is stopped here. Every negative word, every repeated pattern, every hidden plan meant to delay my progress or steal my peace is cancelled now. What was sent to weaken me will not enter 2026 with me.
Cover my home with Your presence.
Guard my steps with Your wisdom.
Order my days with Your peace.
I declare that 2026 will not be marked by struggle, but by direction; not by heaviness, but by freedom; not by curses, but by the blessing of God.
Lord, I will not keep this prayer to myself. I promise to share this prayer with at least one person today. In the victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Type “God is great” to disappoint the enemy!
I saw a comment online that .
A woman with a disability announced her pregnancy, and someone asked: "Should she really be having a child?"
It's 2025. We need to talk about this.

Joel Ward had the Bible verse Ephesians 3:20 written on his wrist during the FA Cup final:
