<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Every day when you wake up, you
take your phone to check whether someone had called you or sent you a text
message. Of course, you can’t leave your bed without switching on your mobile
data to see what is going on in the social media. But have you ever thought of
how much footprints you leave on the internet?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

generate millions of terabytes of data each day. Giant tech companies such as
Google and Facebook produce addictive free apps such as Instagram, Twitter, and
WhatsApp among many others. Someone once said, if you don’t pay for it, you are
the one being used. These giant tech companies didn’t tell you one thing: they
collect data in your apps. Everywhere you visit, every picture you click,
everything you type is stored and analyzed to be used somewhere sometime. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Fifty years ago, data meant
nothing to anybody, just like the way owning land meant nothing to Africans
three hundred years ago; the land was anybody’s and no body’s. Now, everything
has changed. Possessing data means more than just having someone else’s
details. It means having access to his life, his mind, his security.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“When someone knows your
movements online, his reparation can go beyond just having access to your
data,” says <a href="https://twitter.com/joshuamabina" target="_blank">Joshua Mabina</a>, a freelance software engineer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But how valuable is your personal
information to some stranger living thousands of miles away from you?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Our online behavior very much
defines our actual lives. The videos we watch, the song we listen or skip, the
product we search or purchase, the film we watch, etc. Our browsers (Chrome,
Mozila Firefox, Opera, etc.) use cookies which are stored in browsers every
time you visit a website. The web owners then store your ‘movements’ on their
website for the purpose of improving their website services next time you visit
again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
All this information is used by
tech companies to better their products and services. Advertising companies use
this data to suggest products that they think you might be interested to buy. Politicians
use this data to estimate how many votes they may get. Police use this data to
track and catch the lawbreakers. Good thing, isn’t it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The 2008 Obama campaigns, for
instance, designed a tool in which people would predict how likely they would
cast a ballot, and whether or not they supported him. The campaign team was so
confident that one of the campaign consultants was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/express/wp/2012/10/04/odds-men-out/?utm_term=.1cec8a315cc5">quoted</a>
saying that they were confident about who was going to vote for Obama before
they decided. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This is not a new concept,
politicians have always used data to predict the election results, like in the
campaign rallies, public opinions, and media influence. What is shocking, however,
is the rate at which the giant tech companies have invested in collecting data
they have used to influence the election result. The 2016 Cambridge Analytica
saga is a good example of this scenario. This is where the UK-based data
analytics firm was involved in the theory that it had played an important role
in the US election. The company, it was revealed, contained data of more than
220 million Americans culled from Facebook and other data purchased from data
mining companies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The problem arises when the use
of data accumulated over a period of time, which, of course, is private and
sensitive, is essential in affecting political influence and undermining the
democratic process. Personal traits can be used to predict the action of an
individual. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There is also a security concern
when it comes to accumulating mass data. Databases can get hacked, leaked,
stolen or shared, as it happened in the US 2016 election where political
candidates shared the database of their supporters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some of us still believe that
online is a secure place to store our personal and sensitive data, simply
because cloud drives are encrypted and no-one can break into ‘online safe box.’
But the cloud storage companies use encryption keys to secure the data, which
of course, can get hacked like any other data storage system. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What should we do now? Should we
stop using social media? Should we stop uploading our data to cloud drives?
Should we stop using emails because they aren’t safe? Of course not. Here is a
piece of advice. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
First, create complex passwords.
These will prevent hackers to easily get into your system. Strong password
includes words in both capital and small letters, numbers and characters. For
example, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">pGd486-HWY </b>can be
considered a strong password. Additionally, use different password for each
account, like password for Facebook account should be different from your
Twitter account. This is to prevent the possibility of all accounts to be breached
once a hacker gets access to one of your account. This includes your digital
bank password too.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We all like free Wi-Fi, don’t we?
On the public areas, free Wi-Fi’s are tempting to use. But the reality is, they
are insecure. It is very easy for hackers to access your device information or
your data when you are using public Wi-Fi. The best advice here is to use the
Virtual Private Network (VPN). This is a software that helps to create secure
connection on the internet. However, most VPNs do not come for free. But better
safe than sorry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
How many times have we clicked on
links or downloaded attachments on the emails without even considering what
they are? Be advised: you are put to a vulnerable place by the links you click.
Most of the hackers today use phony free offers to lure you to click and reveal
your personal information. Don’t download every attachment sent in your email.
Just download from the sender you trust. In addition, make sure you scan before
downloading.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I ask some of the technology
consumers if they are aware of their sensitive data online. Most of them agree
that they pay very little attention to who has their data online or who use
them. However, Stephen, a Mikocheni resident in Dar es Salaam, says that he
always read terms and conditions before he agrees to them. “If they are too
long, I skip!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some even go further to suggest
not providing accurate data when it comes to their safety. “You never know who
wants your data for. Just give wrong information; name, age, e-mail, gender,
etc. just to be on the safe side,” says David Rweyemamu, a recent graduate at
the University of Dar es Salaam.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Just as any good thing has its
other side, technology has its other side too. When it comes to data, it
directly involves our personal lives. Being careful is not an option anymore.
“If you become a target, your life might be in danger, especially when they
profile you,” says Mr. Mabina. Profiling is when someone compiles your online
data. “What you are doing online will always help someone who is after you. You
have to agree to give your personal data only to someone you trust.” And that
is how we should go.</div>

waving at them. No one dared to stop me. The motorcycle appearance answered all
their questions. I reached my destination three minutes before the planned
time. It was cool being early for a wise man once said, the early the better. I managed to have a good view of the hotel,
in fact, It wasn’t such a big hotel though it was a place any man could wish to
be.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started enjoying the view more than concentrating on my
watch for at least the view paused some rough moments and thoughts inside me.
It was the speedy motorcycle heading towards me that brought back my thoughts.
I immediately glanced at my watch, and it was time I received the package. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By the time I realized that the speedy motorcycle parked
besides me and a heavy black safari bag was handed to me with an escort of three
words.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Drive,
drive, drive”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had questions, but the man had already gone. I was alone,
alone with a heavy package I didn’t know what it contained. My mind was
confused with the speedy motorcyclists. How comes he looked just like I did! I
mean he had the same height and cloth as I did, the motorcycle he drove was
also similar to mine, even the plate number resembled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Something isn’t
right here, why would he dress just like me!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
How stupid I was to stand there
and ask myself these important questions because after a minute I started
hearing sounds of police sirens approaching. With all that had happened, the
only thing in my mind was the words “Drive, drive, drive”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At first, I wasn’t sure that it
was me that was being chased, but after a few minutes, I came to realize that
three police cars were behind me, and they were all fast and furious. This had
turned serious because now I had two lives to save, Abby’s and mine. I had
surely seen an AK before but never seen one pointed at me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I don’t know why the man chose me
for the mission, but if there was a thing I was sure of, is that I was a pretty
good motorcyclists, especially with a right motorcycle, and in that moment the
motorcycle seemed more than fine. I drove, drove, and drove until I kept
hearing the sirens from afar.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I arrived at the orphanage much
earlier than the police, finding a man standing at the gate. He signed me to
stop, and when I did, he handed me over another safari bag though much lighter
than the one I had. I opened the bag and saw some cash. I had no time to count
but they seemed pretty much enough for Abby’s therapy. I smiled with my helmet
on and handed him the heavy safari bag I had. The only reply I got was “drive”.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I had to do so, for the sirens
sounded much closer now. I started the chase race. I didn’t care about
anything. I only imagined handing over the cash to the Abby’s doctor and enter
Abby’s ward with a smile of a responsible and loving father.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I arrived at the hospital, parked
near the entrance and rushed inside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“ Suleiman…..” The gorgeous nurse at the
reception called me while standing up as soon as I entered the hospital in a
rush.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“I’ll be back honey,” I replied while
running towards Abby’s ward. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
They say that life is like a
flower, it can make you water it day and night and when it starts nourishing a
heavy rain comes and washes it away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I had only a few steps ahead of Abby’s
ward when the door opened and I saw a nurse coming out of Abby’s ward with a
wheal bed with a little body covered up a white bed sheet. Immediately my legs
lost its stamina and I couldn’t run nor walk anymore. The smile I had also
vanished. I had this confused and disbelief look. What more proof did I need? I
knew my baby girl’s height, and the way they covered her body reminded me of the
day my late wife passed away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
No part of my body had the
courage to move, not even my eyes, they were wide open in disbelief. My hands
had no more energy to hold the black safari bag. It fell down. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
While still staring at Abby’s
body being rolled away, her doctor came out of the room too. Our eyes met, and
I still remember the look on his face when mummed the words, “I am sorry
Suleiman” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
With such a confirmation, my body
couldn’t take it anymore. I knelt down with tears rolling out of my eyes just
to hear the words, “Hands up……put your hands on the back of your neck.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I knew it was the police and they
were talking to me, but how could I? The only thing that kept me going, had
gone away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What followed next is hard to explain, all I
know is everything turned dark and I was down lying on the hospital floor with
my breath heavy as a dying bull. </span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
What will happen next? What was inside the package? How will it be after Abby's death?<br />
The next episode is on its way. Don't miss out.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Time is magical in times of hurdle and troubles. Sometimes
it’s fast, sometimes it’s slow. In my case, it was fast. It didn’t take me long
to reach the reception desk. There I found that gorgeous female nurse that had
a smile as my late wife. Well, let’s cast the devil away and say no to
temptations.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Hello
Suleiman, how’s Abby?” She said giving me the smile I told you about as I
approached her desk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Let’s just
pray for her. She really need prayers.” I replied back while forcing a smile
that never appeared.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“She is a good
girl, she will be okay.” Her voice now sounded sympathetic.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Has anyone
left me a package?” I asked not sure if the stranger was serious. But he must
be, he sounded sincere.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Ooh yeah, I think
so. Give me a minute” She replied and bent under her desk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My mind was like “Thank Goodness, he wasn’t joking”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, what
could the package be! I started wondering. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In few seconds, the nurse sat upright and handed me a black
mini-bag and a small sealed envelope.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Here we
go.” She said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Thank
you, so much” I replied with my concern more on the package and envelop than on
her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I then walked a few steps from her desk, unsealed the envelope
and took out the letter inside it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I held the letter for some countless seconds arguing with my
mind whether to go on or forget about the man and his letter. Finally, I
decided to read it because it was not likely that I had a choice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is what the letter said, read it careful please.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“As I
told you before Suleiman, your task is simple, though needs to be done with
care. If you follow my lead everything is going to be fine and simple. Inside
the min-bag are some cloth that you have to put on. I hope they fit you well.
There is a small zip inside the bag, open it, you will find a motorcycle key.
The motorcycle is packed outside the hospital. You will just know it as soon
you see it. IT’S A BRAND NEW ONE. Before we go on, after you deliver the
package the motorcycle is yours.<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">With the cloth on, ride to the city Centre and park beside ARMOND HOTEL
and wait there for five minutes. My brother will deliver you a package and as
soon as you get it, drive fast until you reach FURAHA ORPHANAGE. There you will
find a man waiting for you, give him the package and he will hand over you the
cash I promised. After you get the cash, rush to the hospital and pay your
daughter's treatments. You know better than I that Abby has no much time.<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I wish you the best of lucks man. And please Suleiman, don’t mess up. The package is really to me.<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">By A FRIEND.”<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I bet you also could have doubted the man and the package,
but believe me, with a dying kid, those doubts are NOTHING.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now the issue I asked myself and perhaps you may
be asking yourself is about time I was supposed to start the so-called “deliver
the package mission”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I too first wondered but after I turned the letter, my
doubts vanished. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It’s
noon now, be around ARMOND HOTEL at 05pm sharp, you get late you miss the
package and Abby’s money.” <o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I opened the mini-bag and found the cloth and the key. I
went outside and found a brand new motorcycle. I couldn’t stop smiling knowing
that I’d own it few hours later.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I could hire someone
and make this tukutuku a boda boda to earn extra income.” I thought while
touching it. I nearly kissed it, if I had not been at my early 30’s. Even
though, why what stopped me from giving it a try!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I rode it and went to buy some food and fed Abby, comforted
her until 04pm. It was time to go, or else I would be late. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I am going
to withdrawal money for your therapy honey. I won’t be late.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Promise?”
She said while stretching her little finger towards me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Yeah,
Promise” I replied with a smile then stretched my finger too, and we promised
in sign. This sign meant that we were supposed to meet again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just like that, I hated saying goodbye. For me, goodbye was a bit of bad luck. And just like me, Abby believed so too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I went to the hospital washroom and put on the cloth
delivered to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The shirt was a black
long sleeve. The trouser, black jeans. And the shoes, leather black. With the
glasses on, man! I resembled a black panther. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got outside the hospital, sat on the motorcycle, put on
the helmet and looked at the hospital entrance. I inhaled and exhaled slowly
and BOOM! It was time to go. It was time I did something good for my baby girl.
It was a time I had to put my faith in a stranger.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
WHAT’S NEXT?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
WHAT DOES DESTINY HAVE FOR SULEIMAN?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
IS HIS FUTURE PLEASANT?<o:p></o:p></div>

Ebola is a virus that was identified in western Africa place South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1976. The largest outbreak occurred in Dec 2013 to Jan 2016 with 28,646 cases and 11,323 deaths. My name is Juliet and this is how my village survived Ebola. </div>

few days pass he got worse and worse, he had a really bad fever and he was so weak, we thought it was malaria but it got worse he had been vomiting and diarrhea his fever got worse. I ran to get a nurse but it was too late. Grandfather was already dead my heart was broken. The nurse thought it might be Ebola. It spread from person to person and some people in our village have already died of this new disease. Unless we understand the disease and follow the rules it can spread to a lot of people. It is transmitted through people and wild animals such as fruit bats, porcupines, and non-human primates. The nurse explained Ebola is caused by severe bleeding organ failure and can lead to death. But it can spread also through human contact with bodily fluids such as blood, the fluid of someone who is sick or die of Ebola the sweat, saliva (kissing or shared drinks), tears, urine, diarrhea, vomit, breastfeed, sexual fluid and blood. When we touch a sick person fluid the Ebola germs can get into small breaks and enter our skin, eyes, nose or mouth the Ebola germs spread into our body and make us sick. Also, it can spread by animal, insect, stings, blood products (unclean or unscreened blood)<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When someone dies of Ebola that body is much more contagious and no one should touch the body. The nurse advised us to wash hands with soap and water right away to avoid the infection. She contacted the burial team to bury my grandfather safely. The burial team came they comforted us and explained want to do to protect us. The team wore protective clothing that kept them safe from the germs. They sprayed the grandfather's room and his body with chlorine to destroy the Ebola germs then they put his body safely in the bag to prevent the spread of Ebola. No one can touch the body of the one who died with the disease. They also burnt his clothes, mattress, and bed anything that may have his germs all these actions made us safer it was to great risk to follow all our traditional but we still honor our grandfather in the time of Ebola.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our chief gathered all the villagers together after grandfather's death. He explained its natural for us to fear Ebola but if we trust our health workers and follow their rules we could stop the diseases. The nurse explained if someone has symptoms like fever, headaches, muscle pain, and chills later on a person may experience internal bleeding, nausea, eye redness, mental confusion, red spot on skin or sore throat resulting in vomiting or coughing blood the pain will be in areas like chest abdomen, joints, or muscles. Also, you should not touch them but take them directly to the hospital they will have the best chance of surviving and they won’t spread Ebola. She advised us to wash our hands with soap and water many times a day. All the villages agree to follow these rules since we are the one who had contact with grandfather we are all at risk of getting Ebola we had to stay home the health worker visited as every day to see if we have fever or signs of sickness we will show signs in 21days if we have Ebola.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many days passed and I thought we will all stay healthy but one morning my mother was burning with fever she was so contagious I could not touch her. My father came in he told me he was taking my mother to my uncle’s house in the nearby village he was afraid of taking her to the health center afraid he won’t see her again. I knew I had to stop them I was young but I stood up to both of them I told them this could be Ebola he must go to the treatment center right away. We need to trust our health workers to save them and save ourselves and save our village. I saw in their faces they understood running away will only lead to more death and suffering. My mother was tested positive for Ebola they found her a bed at first the health workers looked scared but I knew they wore suits to protect themselves and inside they were normally people like them. The nurse took good care of my mother they gave her iv-fluid, food, oxygen therapy and medicine (delivering fluids, medication or blood directly into a vein) and helped her body to stay strong. My mother got better day by day and finally, she was released because she got well. Our villagers followed the instructions trusted the health workers, brought as self-care and called burial when one of us dies and to always wash our hands with soap and water. Our village survived Ebola so can yours.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In July31st, 2019 a total of 2,713 people infected including 1,823 deaths.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now Ebola has infected 28,616 cases with 11,310 deaths.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is thought that fruit bats of the pteropodidae (a family of fruits bats) family are natural Ebola, virus hosts.</div>

tears roll out of my eyes knowing that soon or letter we no longer going to be
together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I walked near her, knelt and held her tiny soft right arm
with both my palms and kissed it.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I could no longer hold my tears, they kept coming out. My
heart grieved that I couldn't do anything to save the only happiness I had left
with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While still kneeling, I suddenly felt a hand touching my
right shoulder. Before I even turned, I had a male voice talking to me. The
voice was dry though gentle, it was as if the owner had spent two days singing
non-stop. It was the kind of voice that could not scream even in the time of
need.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"She
looks beautiful, she seems to be a good girl." <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I immediately turned around to see the man, but his face
didn't look familiar to me. He was a thin, tall, brownish man. The wise say,
"a man gets grey hair for four reasons. A stressing wife, tough life,
sinful price or aging." The man had some gray hair in his well-shaved
beard and short hair. With his black suit and red tie, he looked gentle Manish.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I then decided to stand up, but he stopped me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“No, no, no,
don’t even bother. I understand the situation you are in right now,” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even with his words, I still stood, stretched my hand for a
shake.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"I am
sorry for your daughter." He said as we shook hands. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Yeah man,
thanks” I replied with a low voice while trying to recall if I hadn’t truly met
this man before.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Five
years ago, I too went through this situation." He said while looking at
Abby. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t know what to reply next other than joining him at
starring at Abby, and so he resumed the conversation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“She was five,
her name was Alice,” He said with a smile as if he recalled her face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Her name is
Abby. She’s five too,” I said while controlling tears.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man then turned to me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“She is going
to be fine brother, I guarantee you that.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I laughed while wiping away tears.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“ I hope
so, I truly hope. I mean she would be okay if she had a father and not an idiot
like me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He turned to me and placed my hand on my shoulder.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“You have
done so much for her. There is nothing to blame your self of. I believe Abby is
proud of you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“How can
she be proud of a father that can't afford cash for her final treatment!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man inhaled and exhaled slowly then turned towards Abby
and started starring at her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Perhaps
I may know a place you can get the amount you need for her therapy”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I immediately turned
to the man and looked him directly in his face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Where?”
I asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I heard
your whole conversation with the doctor,” He said while still not looking at
me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I was
sitting beside the bench you two stood.” He now turned and looked at me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It’s
okay, just tell me where I can get the cash.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man kept quiet and looked at me. It's like he wasn't
sure about what he was about to tell me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Well……..” He stumbled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"Just say it, man, it's my daughter's life that we are talking
about here and she has no much time remaining.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While looking straight at my eyes, he drove all his energy
and said to me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I
can give you all the cash today, but first you have to help me complete a
task.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Just tell me the job man.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"It isn't anything hard. All you need is getting a package from
someone around the city center." <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He sounded joking
though his face seemed serious.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“You are just going to give me $15,000/= by delivering a package!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He smiled and moved more close to Abby and held her hand. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"How can I let her die, she's just like my Alice. She also died
because I failed to pay for her surgery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From that day forward I vowed to never let another kid loose life on my
watch. The $15,000/= isn't your payment, rather me doing what I could have done
to my long-gone baby." <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He then turned to me and smiled saying. “I hope you
understand”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Am
sorry for your loss" I said with sympathy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It's
okay. That was a long time ago, at least now I have a chance to put my soul at
peace by doing this one good thing,” He said smiling..<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“So where
I the package?” I asked, eagerly wanting to finish the task.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“You will find everything detail at the
reception after one hour. For now, just stay with your daughter as I go prepare
the cash." He said while glancing at his watch turning out to take a
leave. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Thank you
so much man, I don’t know how I can ever repay.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man smiled looked at me and said, “Just do good to
someone else” and left.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was just after I finished watching the man leave the ward
that I felt someone holding my fingers. It was Abby, I knew her touch. I stared
at her little beautiful hand, then my eyes went straight to her face. And as
soon as our eyes met she gave me an angelic smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"My
baby is awake…" I said softly as I bent and kissed her forehead. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Abby just smiled back without saying a word.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“How are you
feeling honey?” I asked her while sitting beside her bed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Am good
papa, am doing okay.” She said smiled as her eyes started getting wet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I knew her well, she was lying.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It’s okay
honey. Just tell papa the truth. Tell me how you are feeling.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abby looked at me for
some time without saying a word. Tears just rolled out of her beautiful eyes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Why are
you crying, honey. It's okay, talk to me. I am here for you." I said while
wiping out her tears with my arms.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"It's
paining dad. My whole body is in pain," She finally admitted though in
tears. I couldn’t control my tears either, at least not this time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I am going
to be fine dad, right?” She asked as the held my arm again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Of course
you are going to fine honey. Papa is going to make sure that the pain goes
away.” I said as I wiped off my tears.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Promise?” She asked as she stretched her last finger for I to vow. She
believes that a promise wasn't complete until we connected our little fingers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I stretched my small finger too. And she broke the union.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“ Yes
honey, I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>promise .” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Indeed I promised. Ooh yeah, I did make a promise.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Sometimes
I wish I had the power to rewind things and change some events in my life.
There are times I blame myself for the decisions I proudly made back then.
Well, forget all that, it’s all in the past, let's focus on what’s ahead of us.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">My
story isn’t just a normal one, it’s a story you won’t easily hear nor forget.
Ignore all the bad things you’ll read about me, for no matter how it’s going to
sound, I am or shall I say, at least, I was a good man. I once loved and loved
back. As a poor man, I only had three true friends, my wife, Abby and Me.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

LET THE
STORY BEGIN.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">A week
had gone since Abby got admitted to the hospital. It wasn't the first time she
was admitted, Well, I can't recall the total times, I only know that she is a
strong girl. She always found out a way to beat cancer and come back home with
me. Since her mother’s death when she was three, Abby meant the world to me.
She comforted me like no one ever does. I don’t know how she did it age five,
but she is not only a daughter but a mother, a wife, and a guru too.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I
entered her ward around 06 am of October 22, this is after I had spent half an
hour at the entrance gate dag dancing with the mosquitoes. Since she got
admitted I always made sure that I reached the hospital before she woke up. I
didn't want to let her get the feeling that she was alone. In fact it was that
was the least I could do for her.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

didn’t take long for her to open her eyes after I had entered the ward and sat
beside her bed.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

honey,” I said while touching her hair softy with my right hand.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

you been here long?” She asked with a smile while still lying on the bed. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

course, why even ask! I spent the whole night besides you.” I bragged and she looked
straight in my eyes and ask.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">

thought for some time then signed me with her head to move close to me so that
she could whisper in my ears.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

What time did the last nurse enter this ward?" She whispered, actually she
talked just as before while believing that she was whispering. Whispering to
her meant saying something to a person with a mouth and ear being zero
distance. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

She replied while getting up to sit on the bed. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

lucky to meet a nurse in the corridor. I just decided to hold her hand and
walked her fast towards Abby's ward since she acted not understanding a word I

the word I said. Anyone with a loved one in a critical condition would

to the ward, we found Abby shaking from top to bottom, she was starring at me

during that moment that I did something I never did for so long. I prayed. I
hadn’t prayed since my wife passed away. I was stupid enough to get angry at
God for taking away my wife from me. Now, I realized how stupid that was,
perhaps if had remembered God early Abby’s condition couldn’t have worsened.
This time I prayed and repented at the same time. I was so confident that God
was hearing my prayers. I knew that he was there watching.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

doctor then walked to his office and left me sitting on the bench speechlessly.
I knew that getting a loan from a bank would at least require a week. I took my

with two of which I wasn’t sure of either but decided to give them a try. The
first number wasn’t reachable; the second number was picked but the person
hadn’t such an amount. I hanged up the phone with a smile, it’s then I
understood why motivation speakers always insist on being careful with a chain

branches but since I had never taken a loan before, the only loan I could get
was Tsh10,000/=. I smiled while appreciating how stupid I was, </span></div>

failure. I always fear to fail, and when I think of staring something new I
also start counting of the risks that will presumably happen, so I find myself postponing

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">QUICK10: </b>You know, when I was a little
kid I had this tendency of sitting and finding the pieces if newspapers and
reading the news as I'm broadcasting via the radio, so I was in love with radio
and TV personality. I was aspired to be known, to be famous, people to see me
on the TV and even people who know me can say, 'Hey, that's Goodluck,' I was
really impressed by the personality of the media. And that started growing, then,
when I was a teenager I realized what's all about journalism and other
aspirations came around and added the motivation for me to study journalism.<o:p></o:p></div>

talk much, they don't talk less. They talk when there is a need to talk and

Even if you have read one good
book in your life you will know what reading gives. Reading gives knowledge,
improves your brain, reduces stress, improves memory, improves imagination,
develops critical thinking skills, builds vocabulary and improves creativity. It
also improves writing skills, improves communication skills, improves focus and
concentration, helps us learn about another world, it is cheap and portable
form of entertainment; it motivates, improves health and build self-esteem,
makes you more empathetic and smarter. Speaking of what books offer will take a
huge time because there is a lot which books can give. They are not just
readings but they are model of real life and real world. Books are so important
that’s why even religions offer holly books like Quran, Bible, Veeda and other sacred
books.<o:p></o:p><br />

I remember my first reading was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Autobiography-Story-My-Experiments-Truth/dp/1481076043" target="_blank">The autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi</a></i>. The book is so inspiring and gives life purpose. Mahatma Gandhi is said to be
among the wise men in the world. He is the father of independence of India. In
his book he shared his life experience since he was a kid. He spoke about all good
deeds and mistakes he made in his life. He also shares the challenges he faced
as a teenager. When you read about Mahatma Gandhi life experience you will
realize that no one is born great but life teaches us to be great ones.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Through reading I realize what am
passionate about and what difference I do want to make in life. I realize what
legacy I want to leave and which values will guide me. I come up with actions I
need to do to clarify my mission [dream], live out my purpose and leave a
lasting legacy. I found courage for change making and leave aside fear within
me and feel that the word innovation is for anyone.<o:p></o:p></div>

and became a photojournalist who traveled far and wide working with various newspapers
and magazines. At the end of July 1996 Didier left Paris for Afghanistan. He
barely returned to tell the tale. It was his first major assignment as a
photojournalist, documenting a Doctors Without Borders’ mission. Camera in hand,
Didier traveled with a band of doctors and nurses into the heart of Northern
Afghanistan where the war between the Soviet Union and the Afghan mujahedeen
was raging. The mission affected Didier as profoundly as the war affected
contemporary history. His photographs paired with the art of Emmanuel Guibert,
tell a story of an arduous journey undertaken by men and women intending on
mending what others destroy. From Didier’s pictures and Emmanuel Guibert
artwork the book called “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Photographer-War-torn-Afghanistan-Doctors-Without/dp/1596433752" target="_blank">THE PHOTOGRAPHER</a>” was born. The book drives us in 1986 to cope with memories of children bleeding
to death in Afghanistan. The book takes us to the history of Afghanistan.<o:p></o:p></div>

and ideal world. Musk use his 40 hours per week reading different books and he
always makes sure that per year he reads 52 books. He shared some of the books
which developed him as a successful innovator like foundation of trilogy,
structures, ignition, The ultimate Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy, Zero to
hero, Super intelligence, The lords of the king and Einstein: his life and
universe. Musk said that the lesson he drew from the works of Isaac Asimov, a
science fiction writer is that “you should try to take the set of actions that
are likely to prolong civilization, minimize the probability of dark age and reduce
the length of a dark age, if there is one”.</div>

Ismail, a writer and a student at the University of Dar es Salaam. Adam is
writing on motivation, intelligence, detective and psychological books. He has
written books like <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/SORROW-ADAM-ISMAIL/dp/1983161187" target="_blank">Sorrow</a></i>, <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/BORN-DIE-LOHI-ADAM-ISMAIL/dp/1717714617" target="_blank">Born to die for Lohi</a></i>,
<i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/PLAN-YOUR-FUTURE-BRIGHTER-TOMORROW-ebook/dp/B07FRKV3DV" target="_blank">Plan your Future</a></i>,<i> Siri
iliyo fichuka</i> and <i>My life story worth
a movie</i>. Adam believes that everyone loves reading. He said that in
Tanzania many people love reading but the problem is how to reach them. He also
said that many Tanzanians read when they get free books but when it comes to
books which are not for free, they are not ready for that. Adam is using social
media like Facebook, Twitter, Whats App and Instagram to reach his target
audience. He says, “I don’t aim on making money but I mostly aim on educating
my society so, sometimes I have to write on social media some important
paragraphs on my book in order to educate those who cannot afford to get a book.”</div>

I had a chance to talk with some
of the youths to get their opinion concerning the importance of reading books.
For those who love reading said that, through reading they get extraordinary
knowledge and they are inspired a lot. But for those who do not like reading they
say that they never had interest in reading and find it tiresome labor. When I
asked them if they tried reading any book they said no. So this is to show that
it is not that people have no interest in books but they never tried to find
out what books gives.<o:p></o:p></div>

Mr. <a href="https://twitter.com/akatunzi?lang=en" target="_blank">Abdallah Katunzi</a> is a lecturer at the <a href="http://udsm.academia.edu/AbdallahKatunzi" target="_blank">University of Dar es Salaam</a>, he also finds reading one of his favorite hobbies. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked him why many Tanzanians are not
interested in reading books. He said that it is not every Tanzanian who is not
reading books, but many of them don’t do so due to different reasons. First;
there is no system of reading books starting from our families, there are very few
families who have books at homes. If there are no books at home, there is a
little possibility for children to get used to reading books. Second; parents
also are not readers; parents stand as a reflection to their children, what
they do is what their children will follow. If a child never saw his or her
parents reading a book how is he or she going to learn the importance of
reading books? Also the system of teaching in schools, colleges and
universities do not create the habit of students learning to read books. The
system taught students cramming what teacher teaches. So at least teachers have
to be responsible on advising students on reading different books. Mr. Katunzi
also shared his journey on reading books. He said his family had played a big
role in motivating him to read different books. He started reading when he was
in secondary level, in form one. His parents bought him all subject books and
he was taught to read them frequently. Also there were different books in his
home library like history books, politics books and literature books just to
mention a few. He gained interest on reading those books at home where that
experience made him so fond of reading different books. He said that since the
beginning of this year he had read 28 books. Mr. Katunzi advises parents and
teachers to influence children on reading different books.<o:p></o:p></div>

Speaking during the training, Mr
<a href="https://twitter.com/jamesmarenga?lang=en" target="_blank">James Marenga</a>, a facilitator, an advocate and a re-known journalist has urged the students to
be familiar with media related laws since they are going to be in and around
them for the rest of their career.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“The bad thing about law is that
it doesn’t care if you knew about it or not. It is going to cut through anyway.
You better be on the safe side,” he said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However, some of the students
argued that they are taught media related courses as part of their university curriculum.
But they all agree that what they learn in this training is different from what
they learn in class.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Here we are trained by people who have lived what they teach. Their experience is the most important
thing to us,” confirms Aisha Mohammed, a mass communication student.<o:p></o:p></div>

Mr Gasirigwa Sengiyumba a facilitator in the training and the National Director of <a href="https://tanzania.misa.org/" target="_blank">MISA Tanzania</a>, a non-government organization which aims to promote media diversity and pluralism by campaigning for freedom of expression and right to information in Tanzania together with Internews, made successful the two-days training on the media
related laws at SJMC. He says that they provide such training because they
want to create better journalists.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“The reason behind this training is passion for profession. We teach journalists to understand laws, ethics and
constructive journalism because we want to have journalists who understand what
they do,” he told <i><a href="https://thehillobserver.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Hill Observe</a>r</i> as he was heading to St. Augustine University of Tanzania in Mwanza for similar
training to journalism students the following day.</div>

such training to help student learn more practically than in theory. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Students learn a lot in classes,
but they do not really get an exposure to the field. Through this six-weeks
summer training, the students are going to learn more from practical training
they undergo,” she says. <o:p></o:p></div>

and sustainable economic development projects at local level to empower
communities to improve their lives infinitely. The main objective of the organization
is to empower community to participate in activities that will improve their
socio-economic wellbeing. The outreach program also includes sensitization and
advocacy campaign on importance of nutrition, environmental cleanliness, water
hygiene and sanitation and addressing unfavorable social norms that affects
