Is it true that to get what you want, you should help others get it first. I have seen this come true in the last couple of weeks. I have been mentored since August of 2008 in Biblical Principles by Haron Wachira, a man of great potential and achievements. Ideas have popped up and I can't wait to see others empowered.
Last week we held a two-day seminar in village training on entrepreneurship to a group of people with limited level of education. Amazingly most have engaged in one form of small business or other. They are amazed at how much they can earn in one yet not keep a single cent.
I believe that perversity is mostly in the mind. Because they have never thought that they can save up to do something bigger and better, most people still remain where they began or worse. I challenged this group of about 50 to consider putting a 20% of their income aside. Life might not be easy but no one will die. Is there?
It is the case for all of us. We prefer to borrow instead of save. It is much easier to get the large sums without sweat. This is the culture I look forward to see developed amongst peoples.
As the problems that face society concern me, I have noticed resources that the right resources are coming. I have met staff of Aqua Clara International that assists in building water filters. I have now built two for demonstration to groups.
We trained them in simple technologies such as making a water filter, high yield kitchen gardens, making of fireless cooker and baking of cassava cakes. I will write about this later.
Haron Wachira has been an inspiration in dealing with talks and networks. He has a passion for what he does. I believe the future holds great promises for the people that we will interact with.
