PEOPLE AROUND US>>

Who are people around us? Its that next door kid that waves at you in the morning, that meter box who Comes to read your meter, that guy u sit next to in a bus, that shopkeeper who says you calling card, your family members, mention them all. Every one matters.
These people are the shapers of your life. In life we learn through other People and through what we go through or encounter .They let you fall, laugh at you as you strangle to wake up, they laugh with you, they encourage you and hold your hand to lift you up when you fall.
I call them FACTORS THAT DETERMINE YOUR SOCIAL Lifestyle. They are responsible of who you are. When you fall down and wake up as they think you will never; you learn, they too learn, when they encourage you; you feel appreciated, they too feel motivated.
They determine who you are. They empower you with different defense and attacking mechanisms, which are essential in handling different challenges you face .We are in a class and the facilitator is the people around us. We are learning to cope with life. In time of sadness, sorrow, joy and laughter, the people around us matters. They are our life shapers.
Good or bad, I love people around me. Keep your friend close and your enemy closer.

people around us

Hi, guys i want to tell you about people around us.As we are living in this world we are surrounded with many people with different x-tics
we need to interact with them and help each other.people around us are very hardworking and helpful too. They are also kind to everyone whether you are
a visitor or not. 

STREET CHILDREN

Sad,angry,determined,cold and helpless,
young,malnourished,stressed and hopeless,
rugged,dirty and maybe homeless?
some abusive,drugged and heartless..
who can they possibly be,
this who beg you and me?
it may be a she or a he,
can we do something or let them be?
I often wonder of their stories,
of what drives them to the streets,
of those so young but with no trust,
of lost innocence and forgotten love,
of hardened hearts and hopeless tomorrows
of POVERTY,the highest contributing factor to street children.
What can I do,what can you do?
For this children who crave love,attention
and acceptance?
What can I do?

STREET CHILDREN

Who are they?What influenced them to be in street? They are just like any other human being just like you or me .The only fact that could have influenced them to be in street could either be he/she is an orphan who have no one to take care of him/her[a destitute child],or do not have parental care ,protection and guidance.WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ?Those children who are orphaned and does not have someone to take care of them to be taken to a rehabilitation center.And those who are already in street to be taken to a rehabilitation center.If this is done i do not think there will be any word by street children. 

MY COUNTRY

There was so much tension
anxiety,excitement and soon to be answered question.
hands held together,same expression,
each to another,an extension.

The Kenyan breeze was singing,
the sun brightly shining,
the flag proudly flying
we had a sense of belonging.

So there we were,looking at the pole
waiting,for the second goal
that would make us whole
praying for a foal.

we waited for the wave
and cheered the football brave
sounds that would be heard to the grave
and the Kenyan pride to save.

GOOOAL!! we had won! created a moment
there was no Luo,Kikuyu,Samburu or Ogiek,
there were only Kenyans,
hugging,laughing and celebrating as one!!

I gave my country a second look
and felt content as a brook
I was proud to be Kenyan,
i had found home,It felt right to be among this people!!

PEOPLE AROUND US

Families,neighbours,friends are people that mean so much to us and always around us for me my family means everything to me without them i will not be someone they take great care of me make sure am always healty ,smart and somebody respected.i share most of my problems with my family who always advice and gives me hope and encouragement,the love i get cannot be measured to anything and i will always treasure each and every moment around people i love.

MY COUNTRY

Kenya is my country .And am very proud to be a Kenyan. Just have a look at its political economical and social growth .They are all gorgeous. Consider the tourism attraction zone ,the Rift valley beauty ,the lakes, game park good and classic hotels all this in Kenya .Do you believe me when i say that the only issue that tend to bring differences and conflicts is the political growth ?Political growth have brought sorrow and suffering to a lot of people where by some lost their life loved ones and properties were destroyed after the general election all due to political rivals .All that is needed is that the politicians to be very keen when doing their chores .Do you believe that Kenya is the only country with at most peace in Africa.If so comment

people around us

Who are people around us ? For me I think this is the society,So how is the society around us?Sometimes it is very hostile and sometimes it is very friendly,and when does the society become friendly to you?I think this depends in the society you are in.For those who live in the rural the society there is very concerned unlike for those who live in the urban this is because in the rural this are people who you see every morning when you wake up, you spend the day with them and do anything else together, those in the urban actually really see one another.This is why the society around us in the rural became very concerned in what one is doing in life they want to help in one way or the other, every one wants to help you in all they can ,on the other hand I think the society is over concerned, sometimes they think you must do what they want or what they think our society I happened to met an old lady and just in front of me there was this young man who was listening to his radio-phone and he was dancing all over,this old lady was so amused ‘is this man nuts I think he should see a doctor’,she told me I later started to wonder is this the society we want to be in? a society where people don’t agree with the fact that time has passed and has made changes to life ,especially the youngsters I don’t mean they should agree with everything that is done,no but to at least to accept some of the changes that have occurred . 
Lets brighten up the society and make it a better place for every one to be in.

PEOPLE AROUND US

Turn right or left who do you see people ,my friends my age mate my fellow Kenyan. If there are no people around us how could it be ?People who are close to us play a big role .If i have a problem they are the one who help me to solve it .In case something happens to me they friends are there to help me .IF i want something and i do not have it i will just go to a friend and borrow .What if i do not have a friend?I could easily die of stress for i do not have someone around to solve problems with . Actually for people to live together harmoniously all that is needed is care, love, trust ,togetherness and company.

THE PEOPLE AROUND US.

They are so many yet so unique,so similar yet so different..family.friends,strangers;the people around us,such an eclectic group of people.Its amazing what you would hear and see if you took time and simply looked at people....noticed their reactions to different issues,hear what they say concerning different topics,how they laugh,cry,express their feelings,deal with problems and other issues and basically how they live their lives.People are totally interesting and our creator must be the most creative being that ever was.The people I love most around me are children;their innocence,their ability to trust anyone to do right by them,their openness and mostly,their genuine soul pleasing laughter.There is nothing uplifting as the laughter of a child!
The people around as may determine who we are and what we become,what they say about us may affect how we view ourselves as they can raise or lower our self esteem.Its therefore important to surround ourselves with people who affect our lives positively and help us grow in all aspects,after all its said that “WE ARE OUR FRIENDS” in other words,show me your friends and i will tell you who you are. 

THE PEOPLE AROUND US

hi everyone. first i will like to say that if it was ‘nt for those people around us we won’t be where we are know. all those peopl;who live around us there are the one;s that make us who we are today no matter how bad they apper to be. the reason being that if we fall they are the one’s to pick us even if they are our biggest enemies as the saying goes [your enemy is your friend]. so the least we can all do is try to maintain peace with every body around us and help them no matter what the cost.apart from that we should try to live like members of the same families and not to choose or try tribalism, that can ruin your relationship completly

Love is all around me because:Friends are all around me

The people around me

The people around me could mean so many things.For instance,it could be family or friends,neighbours,enemies
or simply just fellow Kenyans.I choose to talk about friends because friends play such a vital role in our lives.
I know for sure and if you don’t think so,take a look at your life and just realize what friends can really be to you.
I love to use poetry to express myself so that is just what I will do today.Enjoy

This is for you,friend

This is for you
my friend,
for the times you’ve
seen me through
for the times you made me smile
and for the times you made me
realize that I
am a work of art.

This is for you
my friend,
for the things you have lost,
those that you will never find
for time you have spent
just hanging with me,
for making me realize that I
am priceless.

This is for you
my friend,
for all the times I have not
been there for you,
for all the times I
have been selfish,rude
and conceited
for making me realize that I
am capable of being love.

Thank you,friend!!!

Around me

Around me is pain,
Around me is sorrow,
Hope is gone, suffering constant,
I feel confined and without impact,
I want to get away,
Pretend none of this is happening around me.

As a social worker, everyday I meet new people who are in need of help and are going through the unspeakable. Its so sad when there is little you can do to assist everyone and help them live better lives. Due to the work that I am doing I have learnt how to appreciate those around me and build positive relationships with all those around me.

So often we let our environments affect the work that we are doing, our veiws on life and how we treat other people. As much as it is hard to learn to treat people as individuals we must learn to also get the best out of all those we interact with and black out the negative energy coming our way!

You would be surprised at how much of a difference this would make in your life!
