My body is the only place I have to live in and so I take care of it. Not only in terms of what I eat, but also what I do to and with it.

So refreshing to be addressed a young, clear and enlightened Minister of Education in Rwanda. No politicking, but the voice of a knowledgeable and caring educator. The speech was about 7minutes but crystal clear in terms of what the vision is and how they hope to achieve it.…

Am spending the weekend in Kampala, Uganda, and yesterday visited the source of Nile river, near Jinja. Nile is the longest river in the world, also called the father of African rivers.

This happened earlier today when I met Evans for the first time. I love to laugh, so I made a little joke and he laughed, so I laughed too. Life is too short, so go ahead and laugh, even when you feel tired and worn out.
