A word from lia offspring

It’s a moment to say thank you to Christina who is now saying goodbye to us for the accomplishment of all what she has achieved either to an individual or as a group. Changing a community is one of the hardest things on earth because it’s a group of organisms living in a geographical environment with common interest or culture. Some people it’s hard for them to change their cultures much as it might be beneficial to them but until they see its fruits. That is why some tribes in Uganda have vowed never to give up with female circumcision much as the majority is against it. Thank you Christina for having community empowerment campaign at heart. I belief you are taking breath from the big crowd while watching as they enjoy the party, or complaining but you shall be always contacted where necessary.

While the host takes a breath from the crowd, there is always a master of ceremony who keeps on informing the audience or visitors about the party proceedings. For this matter I would like to welcome and congratulate Grace upon taking this challenging task. And with the experiences she has because she has been the audience I belief she will emulate and perform better too. It’s my wish for the new managing director of life in Africa foundation to continue empowering communities by either creating more communities and empower them or empowering those already created. There are some people who don’t know even that they have rights and can also do some thing unless they are retrieved from that deep asleep. Do you know why every body on earth is jubilating about Obama’s victory? Is because people thought that those who have served America as presidents, since they were/are white, could be that they are not human being but divine :) so historians now belief Kwamekuruma of Ghana’s saying that apart from color, we are equal where as it was the day for musicians to remember the late lucky dube’s song of different colors one people.

I can see that life in Africa foundation is accomplishing its aim and objectives, from the time of its inception this has been the vision and it’s good to appreciate this big achievement. When you empower some body or groups of individuals, is the best gift on earth. Because you have empowered him/her/them in all aspects of life right from socail, economical, plotical and emotional. Just as a mother raises her child until he/she is capable of doing by his/her own. This is the time that, that kind of a child comes back and surprises his/her parents with gift and say thank you for raising me up.

The fastest community that benefited from life in Africa foundation's vision is life in Africa Kireka community and many individuals. Life in Africa Kireka is also challenged to sit with its community and see if they can meet their desires.
