@ikokituhapa@moneyacademyKE More than 80% of the crude oil and liquefied natural gas passing through the strait is bound for Asia. Think of how that affects the world.
A contractor wins a project with the lowest bid.

Heโs on track to make more money than the highest bidder.
No upgrades.
No extra work.
No variations.
So where is the money coming from?
Here's how the sharp boys of the construction industry move.

Many of us have heard about Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and some of us may even use it as a source of energy. More commonly, weโre familiar with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), the cooking gas used in many homes.
But have you ever wonder how these gases are transported?
This video shows how they are carried across the seas on an LNG ship.

A new review highlights the urgent need to scale up direct air capture (#DAC) to remove COโ as the global carbon budget shrinks. Researchers say solid adsorbent-based DAC offers advantages such as modular design and flexible materials but requires better system-level optimization.
The study evaluates advances in adsorbents, contactor design, and regeneration methods, outlining a roadmap to accelerate commercially viable, energy-efficient DAC technologies capable of operating at gigaton scale.

China spent 2025 stockpiling crude at ~$60/bbl, sending an estimated 1M b/d into reserves. Now, with Middle East flows disrupted, that buffer is paying off. Over 190M barrels of Iranian oil sit afloat globally, much of it near Asia. #China#OilMarkets#EnergySecurity

A tanker near Kuwait reported a large explosion and cargo tank leak as tensions escalate in the Gulf. Meanwhile, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has plunged from ~40 tankers/day in January to just one on March 3, highlighting severe disruption to global oil flows. #OilMarkets #Hormuz #Tankers #EnergySecurity

China plans to expand its strategic crude reserves and storage capacity under its new five-year plan as it prioritizes energy security. Analysts estimate Beijing has been sending ~1M bpd into storage over the past year, insulating the economy from Middle East supply disruptions. #Oil #China #EnergySecurity

"She saved a strangerโs child with $15. Decades later, she discovered why he had been searching for her.
In 1982, a Kenyan boy named Chris Mburu stood on the brink of losing everything. He was the brightest student in his rural district, studying by lamplight inside an earthen house without electricity. But his family could not afford his school fees. Without help, his education would end โ along with any chance of escaping a life spent picking coffee in the fields.
Meanwhile, across the world in Sweden, an 80-year-old kindergarten teacher named Hilde Back came across a notice for a child sponsorship program. She chose a name from a list: Chris Mburu, Kenya. She began sending $15 every school term. There was no recognition, no expectation of gratitude โ just a quiet decision to help a child she believed she would never meet.
That small amount changed everything.
Chris stayed in school. Over time, he and Hilde exchanged letters. She asked about his teachers, his studies, and his dreams. Through her words, he realized she wasnโt just part of an organization. She was a real person who believed in him. And he never forgot her.
Chris eventually graduated at the top of his law class at the University of Nairobi. He later earned a Fulbright scholarship to Harvard. He went on to become a United Nations human rights lawyer, helping prosecute genocide and crimes against humanity around the world.
Yet one thing always weighed on his heart. He had never properly thanked the woman who made his journey possible. In truth, he barely knew who she was.
In 2001, Chris founded a scholarship program for children like himself โ talented students from poor families whose potential might otherwise be lost. He asked the Swedish Ambassador in Kenya to help him locate his mysterious sponsor so he could name the foundation after her.
They found her. Hilde Back. Still alive. Still living quietly in Sweden.
Chris traveled to meet her for the first time. He expected to meet a wealthy philanthropist. Instead, he found a humble, warm woman living simply โ genuinely surprised that anyone considered her actions remarkable.
Then filmmaker Jennifer Arnold began documenting their reunion. During her research, she uncovered something Hilde had never told Chris.
Hilde Back had not been born in Sweden. She was born in Nazi Germany in 1922 to a Jewish family. At sixteen, when Hitlerโs Nuremberg Laws banned Jewish children from attending school, strangers helped smuggle her to Sweden. Her parents stayed behind because Swedenโs refugee policies did not allow older Jews to enter. Both were later sent to concentration camps. Her father died there. Her mother disappeared, never to be heard from again.
Hilde survived the Holocaust because strangers helped her escape. She lost her own education because of who she was.
Fifty years later, she quietly paid for the education of a child across the world โ a child who would grow up to fight the same hatred that destroyed her family.
When Chris learned her story, he wept. Hilde, meanwhile, had no idea that the boy she sponsored had devoted his life to prosecuting genocide.
In 2003, Hilde traveled to Kenya for the inauguration of the Hilde Back Education Fund. The entire village welcomed her as an honorary elder. In 2012, she returned again to celebrate her 90th birthday, surrounded by hundreds of children whose futures had been transformed through her generosity.
Hilde Back passed away on January 13, 2021, at the age of 98.
Today, the Hilde Back Education Fund has supported nearly 1,000 Kenyan children in continuing their education. Many have graduated from universities around the world. Many now give back โ mentoring younger students and contributing monthly donations to support the next generation.
One woman. Fifteen dollars. One child.
That child created a foundation. That foundation changed hundreds of lives. And those lives continue to change others.
