Tribute to my Friend and Old Boy.

Bye to you Will
counting it Gods’ Will
that you had to leave
and join many that live
with our heavenly father.

Bye bye our friend,
to a venue that we shall have to find
After this time around.
Bye bye OZO - RIP

Keep children out of political fights

On many occasions, the media in Uganda has run stories of demonstrations in which children have been involved. Recently, a woman was shown holding a young baby whilst scuffling with the Police! Apparently, she was a member of a women’s group that was engaged in regular political protests which has had a number of clashes with the Police.

While it is the right of every Ugandan to protest against any social, political or economic issues of concern, innocent children should be protected against any harm that may arise out of such protests. Article 38 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights emphasises the need to protect children from any kind of hostilities.

Children are fragile. Exposing them to such violence affects them both physically and emotionally. While their mothers or guardians may think of using them as human shields, these children are still tender and innocent. They should be left to enjoy their childhood when adults join political debates and rallies.

Lord, if you were to ever work within my means, then you would not be
God..., forgive me for alwz trying to be realistic... Lord

Apael... Help Edson!

...I meet their ties daily and have helped some.

But he is another soul that has touched my heart. Edson scored second grade at a rural UPE primary school. He would have done better save for looking after the neighbors cows for books and Uniform. He showed his Score card to a retired school chaplain who empathized. The elderly chaplain let him stay at his one roomed house with the rest of three boys as they walked to Senior one daily since this year began.

But the retired Chaplain is is now weak, not working any more and has traveled back to live in the village in Kashari.

Edson has to go on studying. He has worked at a bar, hotel, slept in at a taxi park and gone hungry most of this two weeks holiday. Finally he has bought a pair of shoes, a suit case, a mattress, some clothes but the top up for boarding fees is no where. so he moves around each office to find a good Samaritan. most of the officers suggest he lives school to work at their farms, shambas, shops or homes. The reason; he looks to be a serious boy that can be trusted.

Edson is an orphan with a sickly mother who now lives in Rubaya a distant village form Mbarara Town. No relative seams to dream with him. He wants to be a medical Doctor and help such suffering poor people like his mother.

"Perhaps I could even have saved my father..."
He says.

Edson studies at Ngabo Academy of Science & Development in Mbarara-Uganda. He could go to a better school.

Perhaps someone out their can help Edson. I decide to send her to school as I post an a peal to my blog.

Just leave a comment here, I will get to you in case you can help to pay Edson's school fees.

Thank You.

Dear Parents...

On many occasions, the Ugandan media has carried stories of political protests and demonstrations where children have been involved. Recently, one woman was seen holding a young baby in a scuffle with the police during a demonstration.
Apparently, the women-led group of protesters has had a number of clashes with the police in the past. These women’s protests are against the current Electoral Commission and are calling for free and fair elections. The police always engage the protesters, saying they do not follow police procedures for protests.

While it is the right of Ugandans to protest against any social, political or economic issues of concern, children should be protected against any harm that may accrue with such protests.

Article 38 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights emphasizes the need to protect children from any hostilities. Children are fragile; exposing them to such protests and interfaces with physical struggles affects them both physically and emotionally.
While their mothers or guardians would like to use them as shields, these children are still minors. They hence suffer physical harm, nightmares and may be affected to grow timid or in fear.

Every child has a right to their childhood. As the country draws closer to 2011 political season, children should be left to enjoy themselves at home as adults join political debates and rallies. This is because even if they are involved, their participation is minor.

Time will come for them to fully participate in these activities with their full consent.
