AbdiWishfully these 11th hour will find you in good mood.My individual operation plan is based of 11 years research.I hope some people will not brand me new names for revealing the truth!,but,anyway i have to do it for the seek of humanity.I have started work with care Kenya refugee operation in Dadaab on 17/6/1999,I was an optimistic young man who had a vission in that I should be applying my objective with justice,my activities with mercy and my responsibilities with patiency(both domestic and work).In parables that is how one's feels and sees before the start of the rain.The big challange was i have to implement my responsibilities(both domestic and work) from a crooked(wrong)vission,a vission which is a global phenomenon,that is how become 'a Turnbouy' of the first moving 'truck' that was carrying the whole worlds.I had struggle organising myself to clean the messes of the global warming,I luckly manage to survived all these climate change effect(from domestic choruses to failed constitutions and policies).It has happenned with the grace of God(s.w).I hav'nt fallen from fast moving 'truck'.It's in the 'Reveavalaion'that we will never ever be in successsfull life while in this worlds but we will also taste the effect of justice justified,plotted mercy that has turned to become merchanneries and negatively exploited patiency has been hospitalised(these are Saint persons of Jinns and Human kind).the effect is enormously devastating as we sees in our screens or as we wittness for our own selfs,these must be early warning of coming disasters,Unless we organise our self toward justice for our purpose toward mercy for our missions and toward patiency for we implement our programmes and operations.I Abdi Issa Abdi for forsee a disastrous worlds in near future!
*Let's justice be our shield and defender as Kenyans says
*Let's explore the sources of everything positively and exploite the resources positively.
* Let's research down leadership to set role model of Justice,mercy and patience in thier leadership pratice.
*Let's the invisible hunter be hunted and than Haunted to his Grave!.
and finally I will be happy,and we gonna be happy all if we adopt my comments without favour!
I have been hunting for the truth,that is why I couldn't submit myself in time,but fortunately we got the truth now to lead the worlds or vission 2030 will be true for Kenyans and the rest of Kenyans.
I wish you all the best,hopefully and God Willing in near future we will constructively build together an "Innovative" Individual operation plan rather than justified ones!
Thanks
ABDI I. A.

Thank you for this post Maria. It is heartening to see that these little children are getting a chance to attend school. I am hopeful that before too long we will see similar classrooms opening up in the tent cities of Haiti.

It is crucial, central to the effort of constructing a new Haiti that all children have access to education, not just the ones who have parents, not just the ones whose parents can afford tuition, all Haitian children.

Poor children in Haiti have long demonstrated their ability to contribute to society. Sadly, the little reste avecs who worked so hard were not compensated for their labor, not even with education. The lucky ones might have spent a year or two in school.

So I am happy to see that these little ones going to school in the camps, and I hope soon to see similar schools for children in Haitian camps. I have joined a group to work on recruiting teachers for Haiti. I hope we can make this happen.

Thanks, Maria, for this post. I am hoping that before too long the camps in Haiti also have schools set up for the children so that finally ALL Haitian children can go to school, not just the ones whose parents can afford tuition. A key to building a new and better Haiti is to ensure a higher literacy rate. My experience has been that the little reste avecs get a year or two of school (if any) and that is it! If we can make sure we end the reste avec tradition and get all kids into classrooms, it will do a lot toward ensuring a better future for Haiti.

Key to this, of course, is recruiting teachers from among the literate Haitians and, perhaps, from other countries.

I am glad to see that good things are happening at this Kenyan camp and hopeful that the Haitian tent cities take a turn for the better, especially for the children.
