Recipe for the Week

-

To better govern ourselves,
We need a dose of prudence and patience,
An amount of courage to make good decisions,
A portion of tenderness and kindness,
A fraction of fair intent and optimism,
A bunch of passion to press on,
A substantial smile and silence,
A ladle of grace to stir our lives.
May your week be blessed. 
I wish you well.

In the library of living legends your name is recorded. In the library of borrowed hearts, our connections still live. In the library of our common history, a society of experiences still breathes. In this library of hope, are shelves of lives that still thrives. In this library of human resources are many with miles of smiles, Entrusted with a priceless collection of ancient folklore. In this library of pages are those with ages who guide us through the reality of this perilous-fun loving matrix of life. In this library of changing scenes of adventures are memories of moments worth keeping.

From January to April, we've argued our approaches to advance the averse averages in our growth. From January to May, we've marveled at God's  mercies on us even in our merciless murky moves. From January to June, we juggled and survived the trauma of needless perennial junctions, jabbing our base. From January to July, we've judged the jumps in our journey of jogging with our limping economy and the possibility of accessing the more bitter IMF's relief peels. From January to August, we've adjusted the distasteful grief in of our creed of greed which still bleeds the blessings in our nation. From January to September, we've stepped and stu...

These developments coupled with some socialisation trends has equally fluenced boys and subtly contributed to the death of many men. The celebration of #InternationalBoysDay 2018, which is not a direct response to the #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild 2012, was to encourage teaching and modelling of boys value that include honour and integrity. The International Boys' Day  also focuses on the wellbeing of boys in the family, in classroom, in communities and in the country. Lead proponent of the day, Dr. Jerome Teelucksing from Trinidad and Tobago, encourages all to show appreciate and celebrate the strength and joys that go along with being a boy- not in competition with girls, but in tandem with them. Fact is that if we invest time, resources and pay attention to their development...
