The Future We Dream

Beneath the sun, the children run
Laughing, playing in nature's embrace
The air is clean, the oceans teem
With life below and green space

In their eyes, a hope arises
For a world yet to be made
Where every child realizes
Their role in this plan we've laid

To give back what we take, and make

Abundance flows for all to reap
Hope is not just a dream but dared
From promises, we now must keep

So take heart, children yet to be
The future we shape is yours to mold
A brighter tomorrow we can unfold

If we but dare to care
The possibilities out there
Are as wide as the rising sun

So let us dream, and let us scheme
To build the world we wish could be
For all our sakes, the future we make
Begins with you, begins with me.

Policy vs. Practice

In the realm of governance, the journey from policy formulation to tangible outcomes is often fraught with challenges. While well-crafted policies set the stage for progress, their successful implementation remains a persistent hurdle. This disconnect between policy and practice is not merely a bureaucratic inconvenience; it has profound implications for societal advancement. The Anatomy of the Implementation Gap The " implementation gap " refers to the disparity between the objectives outlined in policy documents and the realities observed on the ground. Several factors contribute to this divide: Resource Constraints : Ambitious policies frequently falter due to inadequate funding, limited human resources, or insufficient infrastructure. Without the necessary support, even the most well-intentioned initiatives struggle to take off. Political Dynamics : The political landscape can significantly influence policy execution. Shifts in leadership, competing interests, and lack of...

Sustainability is more than a product or a promise—it’s a commitment to long-term change.

Sustainability has become a buzzword, woven into almost every industry, product, and campaign. From bamboo toothbrushes to electric vehicles , every innovation claims to be saving the planet. It’s tempting to believe that each eco-friendly purchase is a step toward reversing climate change. But behind the glossy marketing and green labels lies a crucial question, are these innovations truly impactful, or are we simply falling for well-packaged hype? Take biodegradable packaging , for instance. The concept sounds revolutionary. Packaging that breaks down naturally instead of clogging landfills. However, the reality is far more complex. Most biodegradable materials require industrial composting facilities to decompose properly. Without these, they end up in the same landfills as regular plastic, where they may sit for decades, barely degrading. For many countries, including Kenya , the infrastructure to support such systems is limited. So, while the packaging feels like a responsible ...

Dear Jahzara, My Little Star,

As I sit down to write this, you’re busy running around the house, chasing after your auntie with one sock on and the other mysteriously missing. Typical Jahzara energy, chaotic, unstoppable, and absolutely adorable. Today, you turn three. Three! How did we get here so fast? You’ve brought so much light into our lives, baby girl. From the moment you arrived, it’s been a whirlwind of laughter, surprises, and the occasional “Jahzara, climb down!” And let’s not even talk about the number of times I’ve found you trying to eat a spoonful of sugar for the hundredth time. Let me tell you, being your mama has been a full-time adventure. You’ve already perfected the art of charm. When you flash those big, innocent eyes and say, “ Mama , si you give me just one sweet,” somehow I’m handing you three without even realizing it. You’re a pro negotiator. I’m convinced you’ll be leading peace talks one day, between nations, not just who gets the last chapati in this house. At two, you’ve shown ...
