Be great in act, as you have been in thought..

William Shakespeare said that we should be great in act, just as we have been in thought. It is not so easy, when you think of it. In our mind, in our own secure inner world, we are all so brave. We all do great deeds. We all save the world. But at the end of the day, it is all reduced to thought.

It is important to have pure thoughts. But even more important is to put them into action, in a proper and righteous way – to be the outer versions of our inner projections.

I have always considered that being consistent and aligned with our inner principles is one of people’s best and most important qualities. It is all about the promises we make to ourselves and to others – and about how we keep them.

Kabagambe

I have promised you a beautiful story, one that will make you glad that such people exist in our world.


A week ago, I was seeking your help for an older child out ours, a teenager named Kabagambe Umaru who wants to achieve his dream of becoming a laboratory technician in the medical field.

Due to the fact that his generous long-distance friend provided him with food, he was able to stop working in agriculture and dedicate himself to learning and had been admitted to a lab technician school.

He had requested for very simple, wholesome things: books for school, a lab coat and an admission fee tax. You have gone beyond with helping him and we received more than needed, and when we offered him the funds for other necessities, he said – “No, I will not take anything extra, it will be my great pleasure to help a brother of mine in need.”

So together we planned and decided that the extra he had received to go to a severely disabled child called Noris, whose case we had just received that day, for a bed.

Kababambe has also written all of you a letter to show you his appreciation and gratitude.

It is a very good day for humanity.

AT SCHOOL

It may not be the type of school you dream of, nor the one you studied in. But for them it is a lot. It is a place to develop, learn and make new friends. It is the place in which they are doing the best they can.

I aim to build a school in which the conditions will be better, but until then, seeing them at school, striving for good results, just fills my heart with joy.

I remember as if it were just yesterday – the day I saw Gift Hadija for the first time, together with her sister, Shakira Favour. Two little girls with special names, raised by a disabled mother.

Many people teamed up that day and helped the family. The girls earned very good and loving long-distance parents and started attending school.

Gift is… very gifted. Look at those amazing grades and be happy that such a gem is shining i our world, with the help of all good people around her, who support her and enable her to go to school.
