@mwarv Yes I got this wonderful gift item for my niece and son. The delivery was seamless and efficient. Getting them autographed was really rewarding. The Swahili translations of the animals are particularly exciting. Next level challenge is to have them in vernacular 😂.
@Hot_96Kenya How is it that all motorists are supposed to have reflectors and all, yet we still have motorists using’matawi’ hence you can’t see stalled cars in the night 🤔. We don’t have proper traffic controls coz of too much corruption by the traffic police
“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.
Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!
Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!
It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”
This is how humanity and kindness triumphs over the devastation of fighting in #Sudan.
Watch the lifesaving work of the @UNICEFSudan team with the children from #mygoma.
We never give up, #ForEveryChild
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
WOW personalized accolades by none other than The Rock, Dwayne Johnson?
Hats off to Taru & Roan . You make @magicalkenya really proud. Thank you Angela & Robert @SheldrickTrust
WATCH: South Africa's 'grannies' are showing that you don't need to be young to play soccer - let alone kick the ball into the back of the net to the cheers of a delighted crowd https://t.co/NbJjyb4oFu
#Somalia hosted & afforded protection to Kikuyu #MauMau revolutionaries from #Kenya.
Proud of my country Somalia 🇸🇴 Hospitality is central to Somali culture. It is considered shameful to be a bad host or give a poor welcome. I'm glad we helped lots of African countries

Isn't it time we talked about Pio Gama Pinto? It saddens me of how little Kenyans know about him. Apart from the road it's like he's lost in history. I bet most of you don't know about his relationship with the one and only Malcolm X... 🤗
