NOV 25 | The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

This day is a powerful reminder that everyone deserves to live free from fear and gender-based violence (GBV). But let's face it, talking about such a serious topic can be as awkward as trying to high-five a cactus – but it’s worth every try.

As Shakespeare would put it. “O Man, O Man, Wherefore art thou Male? Forsake thy brutish ways and let gentleness hold sway. For in love’s tender embrace, lies thy truest might. Be a Lover, not a Fighter!”
We know GBV adversely affects both the woman and her unborn child – protecting women safeguards our future by avoiding prenatal complications and infant trauma.
Every relationship faces challenges, but let’s default to better communication, anger management, and professional help - instead of GBV.

Women and families that are free from GBV experience improved mental health, increased economic stability, and stronger family bonds. “O Me, O Me, Be a Lover, not a Fighter.” Learn more about GBV. (George Chege)

DEC 18 | Celebrating International Migrants Day: A Global Fiesta!

Hi, global citizens! 🌍 How far have you travelled this year to get to December 18 - International Migrants Day? Migration is an ancient tale that has been echoing through the ages - the first humans set foot in North America 20,000 years ago. Fun facts:

Some famous US immigrants: Albert Einstein – German, Elon Musk – South African, Madeleine Albright – Czechoslovakia, An Wang – Chinese, K. Chawla - Indian

Immigrants pay more taxes in their lifetimes than they consume in services.

There are over 281 million immigrants worldwide – using 7,000 languages.

Let’s celebrate unity, diversity, and the incredible journeys that bring us together. As Gandhi said, “Unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.” (George Chege)
