A Voice for Change

Few things in this world make my heart swell with pride. Call me a cynic but I can actually count them in one hand, they include and are limited to Liverpool (a.k.a. the Underdogs) scoring, my mother's ugalia and nymama stew and last but not least, our new improving roads. This weekend though, I added a new item to this short list, "A Voice for Change".

Its very rare to see a young Kenyan be recognised for promoting positive change especially in the business world in our country. We are recognised for the jerk dance (is that even ours by the way), for demonstrating against the youth fund ("Kenyan youth demonstrate against unfair distribution of the youth fund") and of course tenacity to follow ("Kenyan youth are driven by western influence"). Am not hating here but its true, not many have been recognised for being a voice for positive change. That is why the article in the saturday magazine "A voice for Change" was a heart jerker for me.

We have reached a point in our country where we need a few heros. A few supermen and superwomen that are Kenyan. We need more young symbols of positive change where it matters in the country. Right now so many Kenyan's are going astray because of lack of jobs, lack of income, lack of direction and as much as we can blame our government until something changes all that we will have is our right to blame. Jobs will remain scarce and crime high. So every symbol that is a voice for change by our Kenyan youths for our country should be applauded. This is why when I read the article on Annabell and her initiative to help small businesses grow, irrespective of assistance or no assistance, I was filled with pride. We need that ..Annabell, this is me clapping.
