AFRICAN WOMEN AND THEIR TRIBES

Your mission( Collected story).

We can go into  the  world  with  this  certainty: There is  much  worthwhile  work  waiting for every one of us. But  we  must   go to it.  And  when   we  take  it up,  we  should   remember  these words from  Ecclesiastes: "Whatsoever thy  hand findeth to do, do it  with  thy might".


If you  cannot   on  the  ocean,  Sail  among the swiftest  fleet, rocking  on  the  highest billows, laughing  at  the  storms  you  meet, you  can  stand  among  the sailors,  Anchored  yet within  the bay; you can  lend a hand  to heldp  them,  as  they  launch  the boats  away.

If  you   are too  weak to journey Up  the mountain, steep  and high, you  can stand within the valley, while the multititude go by.   You  can  chant  in happy  measure, as they  slowly  pass a long;  though  they may forget the singer, they  will  not  forget  the song.

If  you  have not gold  and  silver ever ready  to command,  if  you  cannot  toward the needy  reach and  an ever-open  hand, you  can visit  the  afflicted, O'er  the  erring  you  can weep;  you can  be  a true  disciple  sitting  at the Saviour's feet.

If  you  cannot  in  a conflict  prove yourself a soldier true,  If   where the  fire  and smoke are thickest  there is  no  work for  you  to do, when the battlefield  is  silent,   you can  go  with  careful tread;  you can  bear away the wounded,  you can cover up the dead.

My best teacher used to like arts, music, and composed his own song as well.

Here goes;  we  are  one, we  are  one,  from  Uganda  we are  one,  from  Ethiopia  we are  one,   from Tanzania  we are  one, from  Kenya we are  one,  from  Zaire(now Democratic  republic of  Congo) we are one, from Sudan( now two Sudans/South/North)  we are  one, from  the East  to  the West, from  the  North  to the South,  we are  one-one-one, we are one-one-one! the end.

That  was  in  primary  education(elementary)  in  1993 in  Kakuma,  kenya, and  I  was  8 yrs old  by  then.  An 8 years  old  boy  started   learning  everything   in  one term from  A-Z.  By  the end of the term,  he  was  promoted  to  a new level,  from  level1- 2 within shotest  period of time. Taught  to read  both  in  Didinga, Kiswahili, and  English   respectively. One  of  my  favorite  books  were; Mr.& Mrs. Kamau,  Read  with us, New  friend,  New adventure, and  Tom  and  Mary.  "Tom & Mary  are  going  to school,they  are carrying  a bean bag(s)"  that's    most  I  remember  good times back  in the days,  when  the earth  was  very   young.

It is  flu  season,  protect  yourself,  get  a shot  in any  drug  store free or with  a  discount.  So  I  wish  you  the best.
