APPEAL FOR ACTION
Fellow bloggers:
Strong to Serve ?
I consider this post a logical and necessary progression from my previous one. I have been a KBW member for slightly less than a year. It behooves me to admit that my interaction with your posts has been nothing but entertaining and thought-provoking. Blogging has become an integral part of my routine, to the extent that I sometimes curse out loud when some of you guys take extended vacations from blogging ...
I also believe that it is possible to get a general feel for someone's personality based on their writing. My honest opinion is that the vast majority of you guys are refreshingly civil, and care about our coutry, despite all our shidaz.
In light of this, I feel obliged to appeal to these amazing qualities for what I believe, will be a worthy and fulfilling cause:
I am proposing that we bring a smile to some of our less fortunate Kenyans this Christmas. I am convinced that we can do something special. It's not the grandiosity of our collective effort that is important - it is the spirit and genuine heart that will prove most fulfilling.
I am kindly proposing a plan of action:
a) Ideas for a cause that we can raise money for - I was thinking about a project that deals with kids, maybe orphans of HIV/AIDS ...
b)A voluntary commitment for a monetary sacrifice
c) For those of us who will be in Kenya in December and available, in the same way we'll meet for nyam chom, may be we could set aside an afternoon and go spend some quality time with some of these kids??

The POA is rudimentary and will be improved upon by those of you who will commit to do something. I want to establish who's in on the POA and will liaise with the said individuals kando. I would like to believe am not alone on this ...

I would love to work with interested folks on this. I think the December timeline is feasible and gives us ample time to work with ...
I want to hear from you at the following e-mail address:
joshmwangi@gmail.com
My idea is to create a unified communicating mailing list from where ideas will be collectively exchanged. I am hopeful that we can overcome the inevitable issues of trust and anonymity that are likely to spring u from this. I will gladly work directly with individuals who harbour such concerns.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and look forward to working with you.
ps: I do not need haters on this one. If you are not feeling me on this, tafadhali reserve your comments for my next post ... we need only positive energy for this ...

Last dec, Shiro (girl in the meadow) got some bloggers together, with the help of Kibet (virtual insanity) we purchased some essentials for the Orphans at St. Francis Karen - we could continue with that and make it a tradition?
HIV aids orphans at Nyumbani home also need help, once i get more info about that will send it your way.
