@KassimBaka95110 Thank you! We have all come a long way together.

[Lonny Chen @lonnychen]

This was sure worth the wait! So much of what Kinara does now (and how) was set in motion during 2019-20, incl. our response to COVID-19 (graphic on page 21). Enjoy the read! Thank you to everyone on these pages and many who are not for doing good. PDF at https://t.co/qazqhYYq6X.

Kinara proudly presents our Annual Report 2019-20, covering two transformative years of earned Resilience. Read how we built the strong foundations in 2019 which guided us and our communities through the COVID-19 crisis and recovery in 2020.

On the anniversary of the #TiananmenMassacre we stand in solidarity with human rights defender Chow Hang-Tung who is in jail for organising the now banned Tiananmen vigils in #HongKong. She must be released. #StandAsMyWitness

Happy Menstrual Hygiene Day!

The Unused Army.

I talked about thousands of youths in my book at Kariakoo with skills to fix any digital gadget spanning from Aggrey Street all the way to Gerezani.

If we can build a proper ICT cluster and formalize ICT refurbishment centres and assembling plants possibly we can create thousands of jobs in the next few years. We can use VETA to upgrade these guys.

Everything we need for this to happen is already there. There is no big difference between what is happening there and in Huaqiangbei Market, Shenzhen. We just need strategy and execution.

We can be selling phones assembled in Tanzania all over East Africa. Massive opportunity, with DRC joining the EAC.

May be I'm dreaming.

Three reasons why I love the uniqueness of curling, seen this week at the #GSOC:
1. Skips can sip coffee in between throws.
2. Players get/have to measure their own rocks.
3. Old teammates, old handshakes!

@Devin_Heroux Another #ThatCurlingShow please to dissect it all?

[Kinara for Youth Evolution @kinarayouth]

We are so happy to announce that as kinara we succeeded to recruit 50 youth from four wards from Chamwino, Kiwanja Cha Ndege,  Uwanja wa Taifa, and Mafiga, through the Tailoring project supported by @Swisscontact (SET). Since unemployment has become a major challenging.

SCOTTIES FINAL IS SET

Jennifer Jones looks for a historic 7th title.

Kerri Einarson looks for four-straight.

Jones would pass Colleen Jones for most ever. Einarson would tie Colleen as only team to win four-straight Scotties. #cbccurl

@Devin_Heroux @luigi_russo6 Inspiring stuff! Gotta love their mindset.
