Building Bridges Initiative ( BBI )

This has been the slogan of the day in kenya whether you are supporting it or not. There is always something one can utter on BBI. BBI came as a result of the handshake between President Uhuru and former Prime Minister Raila.

The issue has raised a lot of questions than answers. Some people are finding it strange to use alleged 14 billion during this difficult time in the midst of coronavirus hiccups. Others feel that the change of constitution should come first no matter what.

This has brought a tag of war among the citizens. The politicians are taking the advantage of BBI to go round the country pleading with people to support their decision.

It is still not sure whether the BBI will go through or not. We are yet to see. But one thing people should understand is that, as much as they are campaigning for BBI or not, they should adhere to covid-19 protocols. The large gatherings seen show openly that people have forgotten that corona virus is still with us. Although the vaccine is here, we should be careful.

Kenyan teachers among the first groups to have Covid-19 Vaccine

Being said that the teachers and health workers will be among the first to be given the coronavirus vaccine, it has attracted mixed reaction from different people. Though voluntary, this haven’t changed other people’s thought on it causing more complications on ones health, such as mental health while some see it as the best way to prevent ourselves from the deadly virus.

I would love to get your view on this? What do you think? Let’s chat as you leave a comment. More insights, visit my blog

December 2020 Eve – Ciscasquapro

The days are really flying. Just the other day we celebrated Christmas holidays. It is December again. Though we have gone through hard times due to coronavirus, we thank God for the far He has taken as through.

As we join the month full of festivities, let’s not forget that the month is quite different from others. Due to the pandemic, we might not enjoy the way we used to. Let’s not forget to adhere to regulations given by ministry of health to make sure we have protected each other from the deadly virus.

May all of us have a month full of happiness. Happy New Month!

Why Covid-19 is a Spiritual war to the Church

The church was one of many places that was closed due to corona virus pandemic. After sometimes, it was shocking seeing bars opening before the church. With influence of alcohol, the people could not adhere to covid 19 regulations. But this did not stop them from opening.

There was no register as they entered the bars or the markets which was mandatory in the church. When the church opened, there were so many restrictions compared to other places. Was this a spiritual war?

Could covid 19 be a spiritual war fighting the church? Markets are operating as usual. Political gathering are going on as if nothing is happening. But dare to call for a spiritual gathering and it will be you are infringing the health rights of the people.

Merry go round going on as usual. Table banking the same, but fellowship will spread the virus! Don’t you see as if there is more than meet the eye in this?

Is the devil trying to fight the church or is it God punishing the church? Somebody help me understand why only in church gatherings that the coronavirus will spread more! As we pass wishes of a blessed Sunday, most of us are just at home.

Children are going to school. Practising social distance has not been possible but they are still in operation. All other business working as normal but we cannot still meet as church members and discuss issues affecting the church.

All in all, let’s be vigilant, the enemy comes to steal, to destroy and to kill.

The deadly disease -Ciscasquapro

We are putting too much attention to coronavirus patients as if there were no other deadly diseases.

One is rushed to hospital for pneumonia complications and what you hear is, ” You have to wait for 24hours for covid-19 results to come out.” Before the 24hours are over, we loose our loved ones just in the name of waiting for the results.

Cancer is another disease that is taking those we love without mercy. But all the attention has been taken to covid.

Just the other day, a man had an accident and was rushed to a nearby hospital. The doctors said they cannot attend to him before he was tested for covid. Seriously, a man who needed emergency care to wait for 24 hours? This isn’t right at all. After some hours, he was no more.

It is my prayer that the doctors, nurses and those in health care should come up with ways to mitigate death of patients whose lives could have been saved if only they were given the right attention at the right time.

Most people are dying not because of covid 19 but of other deadly diseases that needed more attention.

How can a person who has been stabbed wait to be tested coronavirus when the knife is still in his body. To me this is really inhuman.

I understand strongly that we need to care for our nurses and doctors and I appreciate the effort they are putting in, but let us not forget there other more deadly situations than just having the coronavirus!

The Monster!

The world was full of peace and happiness until the monster knocked our doors.

We hesitated opening, but the monster kept knocking.

It knocked so loud that everyone in the house was scared to death.

We tried to lock our doors with everything we could find. But it was all in vain.

Finally the monster was in with a bang. Threatened everybody. Took our living rooms, our kitchens and did not dare to spare our bedrooms.

There was nowhere to hide. And as if that was not enough, it took away our loved ones.

Where did you come from? You make our eyes cry every day. Our hearts are full of sadness and we are mourning.

When will you live us? You don’t spare even the kids. Men and women you slay. The rich and the poor you strike. When will you stop this!

We are tied of your attacks. We cannot take it anymore. We have tried all what we can, but you are too dangerous for us to handle.

Oh God! save us from this monster. We have become helpless. We cannot do it alone. We have tried all what we can, but the monster is too powerful for us to fight.

Oh Monster! Oh Covid 19! Oh Coronavirus! Oh pandemic! Please live us in peace.

What happens after sitting for long hours – Ciscasquapro

Have you ever experienced the side effects of sitting for a long time? The novel coronavirus has forced most of us to work from home. Those who are taking courses are too forced to do it online.

Teachers teaching online are forced to sit for a long time contrary to what they are used to. Student may change the sitting position in a normal class but for online classes, same position is maintained.

Sitting for long hours at the same position has come with some problems.

There is an increase of backache to the victims. Some have experienced swelling of feet. Others feel a lot of fatigue from sitting at the same position for long. Sitting glued to the screen causes headaches and eye problems.

Then, what should we do to prevent these problems? Don’t mind, there is a way out.

• Give yourself some short breaks.
• Change the sitting position after sometimes.
• Do some exercises as you are seated such as moving of the legs, hands and shoulders.
• Move the eyes away from the screen for some time. Focus at a distance before you come back to the screen.
• Exercise before you start your day and if possible after you are done with the busy day.

Next time you need to sit for long, take note of the above.

Do you have other experience you can add to the list? Feel free to put it done as a comment below.

The city of monkeys – Ciscasquapro

monkeys invading the city.

Many are times when monkeys have been a center of attraction to both young and old. Everyone enjoys their company. But this isn’t the case at Thailand during this pandemic. It isn’t business as usual. Monkeys have been terrorising citizens making them to lock themselves insides their houses affecting their daily business. They have taken over the hotels that were used by tourist before covid 19. You can see more post here

What will happen to patients of Covid 19 in Kenya – Ciscasquapro

It is sad that the country cannot support the covid 19 patients in public hospitals and therefore advocating for homecare based therapy. This may be a big task as a number of citizens might not be able to handle the patients. It can also lead to more spread of the virus. If the children are not safe from covid 19, how will it be possible for family members to take care of the victims without the required attire? Remember Impact of Covid 19 on traveling has contributed to so many other challenges. This means that family members cannot travel to visit their sick relatives of whom they are supposed to be taking care of. It is like the pandemic is not leaving us soon. According to how things are going, the numbers of affected people is increasing day by day. And if this continues, Should kenyan students seat for their national exams this year? The irony is, school were closed because of one case of Covid 19, now they are expected to be opened when the number is increasing. With this homecare based treatment, will the parents be able to handle cases of the virus in schools? I think this is an issue that need to be revisited.

  Digital Learning

Most of the learners in some of the developing countries are not gaining from digital migration that is taking place in most part of the world. Like in kenya, children from vulnerable backgrounds cannot afford purchasing smart gadgets leave alone paying for the internet. Moreover, most of the teachers who are supposed to teach the learners using the technology skills are also not well equipped.I am requesting all well wishers to join hands to assist this children and the teachers. The donations received will be used to buy necessary equipment and for teachers facilitation programs.

Madaraka Day

• 

  Ciscas wishes all Kenyans a happy Holiday.

1st June has always been a vibrant day with dozens of activities in kenya. Many people wake up early to go and catch up with live proceedings of the ceremony in different counties. For those who don’t make it to the venues,they follow the events through television or social media platforms.

This year things are different. Kenyans have woken up to a dull day where no holding events is allowed due to the covid 19 pandemic. The celebrations are no longer there. Visiting of parks, friends and relatives is now in the past until the country feel it is safe from the corona virus.

Though a bit boring, Kenyans have no option but to stay at home as directed by the government. It is always good to be safe than sorry. Happy Madaraka Day to all Kenyans where they are globally. STAY SAFE!

Why China?

We have been getting most of our products from China. Best herbs to treat our illness, electronics, latest phones,and anything else one can think of is imported from China. My worry is, did we also import the virus? I think it’s time to know things to import and those not to! It has been very hard to get rid of the virus!

Why it is not business as usual

It was a bee hive of activities in all the markets before almost everything turned upside down. The towns were full of life as business men woke up early to meet their targets. All over a sudden, the monster arrived. Yes , the corona virus.

This changed everything. The freedom of movement became a history to be read. New outfit of masks hijacked our comfort of breathing. Expression of love and care was left to mother and baby as no more shaking of hands was allowed. The new lifestyle was difficult to adapt….to continue.

5 reasons why parent cannot stay with their children|ciscasquapro

It has been a long time since schools were indefinitely closed due to Covid 19.
It was a surprise to many as this caught them unaware. How they had to swallow the bitter pill as there was no other option to save the children from the pandemic.
Since then, it has not been easy to stay with children for such a long time bearing in mind that some live in high populated areas.Some of the parents have said it openly why it has been hard to stay with their children for such a long time and it is their prayer this will come to an end soon.

This are some of the reasons they gave:
Children cannot learn by themselves without the help of the teacher. They don’t take parents seriously when they give the assignments . Some of the parents are not aware on what is taught in school. Others know little about the syllabus.

Controlling children has not been easy, This is because they are staying in small rooms and keeping children congested in a room for a whole day is not easy to them.They better go outside where they would have a wider space for their activities.

Some parents are still going to their working places, hence children are left unattended. They(the children)may take advantage of this and engage themselves with immoral behaviours which parent could not advocate for if they were around.

Some children are still too young to understand why they are being told that it is not right to play with their peers.Keeping them in the house all day is not that simple.

Then there are the teenagers who most of the time they feel they are always right. This brings conflict between them and the parents.Sometimes they take advantage of the absence of the parent to do immoral things which could land them in danger.The parents have to deep more in their pockets for the unexpected budget.

It is a prayer to every parent that things will be back to normal soonest. As parents should also know this.

Feel free to add other reasons as you comment.also see
