WORLD SUICIDE AWARENESSES
With the world ealth organization marking the world mental health awareness day on September,19 2020 they had heartbreaking news for us. Suicide has been ranked the second leading cause of death. The silent cry the deepening state is worrying because it intensities can be felt in homes and even work places. We have received reports of teachers committing suicide with the cause unexplainable to the society. The leading question is what is happening.
The world health organization stated the fact that 78 percent of the affected ,victims are of age bracket 15-25, which attracts our attention to the fact that these are youths. Our young generation is at stake. These are growing bracket of being with puberty issues. Emotions are part of the youths with the peer pressure weighing on them leading to a deep state in our youth world. The increased interaction with the growing technology is great worry. The interaction has reduced with the relationship between the youth and guardians are broken. They view the social media as the best platform to air out there problems. Sad truth but the help can never from social media unless they understand. The guardians need to check on the mental state of their children. The rage from the society’s reaction to the youths misuse of the social media platform is sickening.
With Kenya reporting approximately 410 each year. The scenes on our screens are so damaging. A moment to check the hunging ropes, remains of what was once a decent uman broken to the level of death.
The silent cry on our men counterparts is to be felt at a later time with many of those affecting with suicide are men.should be allowed to state te fact that women are blessed with a talkative nature wich is something i would have loved the male party to have but its easy. Our society has made it clear that a man needs to be tough, crying not an option. This will direct the frustrated guy to the drinking zone. They have suppress the pain inorder to showcase their man power. The pain deepens eats up the brain clells. A couple of diseases connected and when the situation worsens so does the desire to finish it all increase. The government took the initiative to give us some advice. Maybe its high time we don’t leave all the responsibility to the health workers. They are in to make money wic is not there fault hence wouldn’t say the help from a psychologist is not enough. Family love and openness is like the first step to healing. Everyone of us has a weakness just a little attention cant break us. Give the person a feeling of comfort and peaceful place he can actually be him.
Lets heal us, forget about the ethics and mythicakl relations to the traditional position of men and listen to them. With all the screaming and shouting in the open, danger looms. No more outlook. Prevent suicide talk about. Suicide awareness. Its real its here.
SICKLE CELL AWARENESS
The entire month allocated for the awareness of the disease. All over the world differet organization took the initiative to reach out to the affected people. The SCCD made arrangements and ad eac day assigned to its own activities. The days turned out successful.
What exactly is sickle cell anaemia?
Usually shows at a young age and may last even for a lifetime. The disease detected at the age of 4 years. Sickle cell anaemia is a disease of the red blood cells. A normal being has disk shaped red blood cells but a sickle cell patient has a sickle shaped red blood cell making the red blood cells to be rigid and sticky. With the rigidness comes blockage which at the long run causes the ldamage of red lood cells. A low number of red blood cell reduces the amount of oxygen circulation.
What are the symptoms to look out for?
A child can only get sickle anaemia if both parents have sickle cell trait.
Most of the patients show signs of fatigue due to anaemia.
Bedwetting is another sign caused mainly by kidney failure.
There is also periodic swelling of hands and feet.
A patient develops jaundice.
The increase pain in the back,chest and feet.
A patient is prone to have a couple of complications ;
Stroke with the blockage in the red blood cells preventing blood from reaching the brain. The difficulty in speech , seizure and sudden discovery of numerous weaknesses.
If not treated well can lead to blindness in relation to blockage.
Finally leg ulcers chips in to the affected legs.
Not forgetting that it can also lead premature birth and miscarriage. And if the birth is successful then comes the fear of low birth weight babies.
Once the disease hits the attention of our viewers treatment should commence as soon as possible to avoid the complications that are a great worry and double pain.
Sickle cell is just becoming more than guess work whether someone had it I the family tree or what. We should now aim to be tested and know of their condtion.
WOMEN MATTERS
Vaginal health awareness.
Its hectic when you have all about your body to worry about. Just like the skin the vagina is delicate from rashes, swellings and even cancer. More risk fo the women sadly with increase growth in cervical cancer and then there is yeast infection. I ;am glad how women have taken the initiative to talk about it openly. At the younger age would hear no one talk of their conditions wit anyone. Many would prefer to just solve it or better way keep it to themselves.
Hadiza Thompson is a medical student in the penultimate year at the University Illorin, Nigeria. She is a maternal and health enthusiast with special interest in sexual reproductive health. She took time to train us. With social distancing the main issue she took the initiative to train ladies of influence online.
As a good listener i would say she had alot of great things to teach.
“There is adifference in a health vagina and an unhealthy one. The healthiness of a vagina is determined the PH whic is in acidic state of the vagina. Unhealthy one has deviation from the normal ph.
The infections from the vagina come from bacterial source, fungal, viral and even parasitic. Wen we talk about about bacterial infection we are looking at the bacterial vaginosis and as for fungal its the most common one the cundidal vulvovaginitis. Parasites related to the environment the geographical location of a person.
Bacterial vaginosis.
Is caused by a bacteria. A vagina a clean part of the body with delicates. Bacteria that may come from the body. With everyone trying to look fresh and may end up infecting the vagina with chemicals from soap and the tissues and at time the clothes we wear.
Candidal vulvovaginitis.
Its commonly known as a yeast infection associated with a fungi called candida that comes with itching and some fitchy odour, discharge and pain in the vagina. Infection is commonly seen in pregnant women and diabetes persons mostly those people who misuse medicine.
healthy vaginal health. Avoid harming the vagina in any way. We should wear breathable underwear during the day and at night go for the nude state. Give the vagina the air and te chance to breathe.
Its also healthy to pee after sexual intercourse preventing urinary infection tat may result to a fishy odour. We need to also understand the vagina and give it a feeling of being loved and get affection.
We need to know that its not easy to test for the infection at home alone. Uts better done in medical centre. Its healthy that as a woman mainly an African woman we are proned to these infection. Going for check ups a couple of times is healthy. This is to ascertain the PH balance and any traces of infection that might be detected. Home remedy not so efficient given that it can only test the PH and an idea of the presence of the infection is not specific to the infection you might have. It’s more of checking the state of the vagina, the health condition.”
Is it advisable to take drugs like flucazone after sex to prevent yeast infection?
No. I think its not healthy to ause the antibiotics unless you have a yeast infection thats wy i advocate for protected sex to prevent the anxiety and the uncertainity of what might be wrong and what to take.
Heard that steaming your vagina makes it tight, how true is that?
Do not steam unless you have an infection. Its not advisable to steam only if the doctor acts you to steam. Mainly done to relieve oneself which is used with alittle salt. The vagin needs a mild temperature for existence. Take time with your physician and talk about before making such a decision.
Can someone use garlic against yeast infection?
Many of the patients take alot of advice from friends. Would hear a patient say she did because she heard. Before we decide to make such decisions we need to take advice from a doctor. Tell the doctor what you feel or maybe what you heard and wait for the doctors advice.
Why do i get pimples around my pubic hair
Its mainly caused by saving pubic hair so we get bumps so it comes with the creams. Its nice in my view not to shave because after the exercise comes in pimples and the itching part. This leads to discomfort. I think trimming is better. The hair so to say is good because they prevent bacteria by blocking the pathway for the bacteria and other infections. But if its compulsory to shave would advice naturally made creams. Its good done after menstruation to wash off every dirt. This reduces the risk of infection.
Its good to take care of your own organ. Cervical cancer calls and does the infection. Lets all opt for safe sex.
WORLD PEACE DAY
The best time to talk about coming together is on to ensure the unity prevails. We all want peace within ourselves. To be able to just have a humble time living our lives without fear and without worry Having peace within means healthwise one is fine and stress free. Sadly so to say most of our youths lack. They have been turned political pawns with assurance that just seems to have no positivity. Youths are politically misused and would see many of them suffer from riots and violence. How can we have peace if our generation suffers. A majority feeling left out hence resorting to crimes. Tha rate of unemployment and tonnes of [promises imposed on us seem to make matters worse with all the expectations turning into total mirage.
Youth have alot of say in peace making. When a black officer was murdered, the hunger and the thirst for blood could be felt from a far as the youths paraded the streets to fight for justice. They have desires and if overlooked the whole world peace yearned for not making sense.
For peace to prevail we need transparency. For sure all can’t be said or done witout many questions arising but the assurance that there is inclusion of each and every person.
Our countries suffer from violence because of neglect and pretence not to realise that every action taken affects the lowest person staying in the dumpsites. When a youth feels oppressed he takes all the hunger out on the streets, destroying buildings excites them and so does just engaging in theft. Have watch the fear in peoples eyes as they walk through the streets with their bags tapped to their ampits tightly held with few that after a short time span and even without their notice will be empty handed. you know sometimes its most humiliating moment to have only a piece left. In my opinion both parties are not blame not show my support for the theft but the fear of going hungry without any employment is greater. I would say thats it’s the toughest situation.
Yesterday was walking towards the family bank and suddenly something else caught my eyes, a great crowd gather. Curiosity is like part of us in every way so i took the time to check out what was happening hoping there might be a great business deal only to find a bleeding man lying helpless. I had to inquire well atleast to get a little hint. The man was being punished for theft. The act is bad ut this made the solution to every problem then we are sure going into extinction.
I think its high time we resort to peace making ways. Its high time government or better the legislative part of it gave us options better in writing. Peace is one of the greatest yearnings that each one of us cant miss to crave.
SMILE WARRIOR ORGANISATION
I think i love the work our youths are doing. Giving back to the society is like the greatest virtue not seen by many. I loved my day spent with the secretary general of the organization. Its was quite inspiring.
describe yourself and your position at smile warrior organization.
I am Ken Babu a student at cooperative university of Kenya taking project management. I participate in a couple of businesses and matters to do with politics.
I am the secretary general of smile warrior foundation. Would say its the best feeling to be part of the foundation
Wonderful. This is quite interesting. How would you describe smile warriors foundation.
Smile Warriors Foundation is a non governmental organization founded with the aim of putting smile on the faces of the less priviledged families on our society as the name suggests. Street kids , vulnerable orphans , children and many less advantaged. It was founded back in 2019.still a small organization only covered three counties but we plan and hope to make it a countrywide organization and beyond.
Leadership is a great factor to ensure that an organization runs. Wrangles are also part of it. As the secretary general how do you manage to keep th entire team focus away from te issues
Yes we have at some point had our differences among members and also amongst the leadership, but we all take time to listen to each other opinions oand points then we harmonise everything after reaching the equilibrium.
It was great move to have this plan to ensure the less fortunate are appreciated. At the same you would agree with me that the organizations have also turned into a scandal zone. How well do you ensure your true intentions to the people?
Well I can say that people come up with different intentions to come up with a project some to extort money and others to ensure that the parties involved are satisfied. Smile Warriors Foundation is an independent with leadership and members with clear minds without any evil intentions and thats why we don’t tell the world how much we have done trough selfies and pictures while among the people. Maybe if need just to keep memories of time well spent with out people photos are there.
Well an organization comes awith funding . how well do you run it. Do you have specific donors?
The greatest challenge we currently face. We still do not have donors, most of the money used come from member contribution and thats why we are calling upon the well wishers and leaders willing to support us. To make it happen , to reach out to many people we need funds. Its my humble plea.
The support will come by because of the great work you people you are doing. We are looking up to you guys to make it worthwhile. Are you a registered organisation under the government in accordance to the constitution?
We are a law abiding organization and respect the constitution. We are done with the registration process and documentation, currently waiting for the certificate presentation which is set to take place in two weeks time. Sadly we are missing the government support but we hope to get their attention and contribution towards tis great work.
On the project are there any and have you ensure the two thirds gender rule is observed.
Smile Warriors Foundation is a law abiding as I said before with aclear understanding of the constitution. We have a couple of projects coming by and plan to make them happen we just sad by the blockage caused by the pandemic with numerous measures placed by the government. We have planned for alot. We are sad about not being being able to take part in the mental health awareness that was scheduled for the whole of September but I believe talking about suicide we need to realise its becoming a pandemic on its on. Even the month is ending we plan to make a must do in our list of plans. We plan to make a guidance and councelling issue.
So great that you took time to talk to us. We are looking forward to attend a couple of the upcoming events if you wont mind.
We are also grateful as smile warrior foundation for the coverage. We are not in a opposition to leave you out. Smile warriors await to put a smile on your face.
Up close with King Grey
We spent the evening with great talent. A young but ambitious singer
Hello. It’s quite a pleasure please introduce yourself.
Thank you. My name is King Gray but friends just call me Gray.
An artist born and raised in Bungoma, Kenya.
I am a rapper so mostly i do rap and singing as a part time activity.
So basically you just into music or is there something else you are working on?
Currently am marketing events, also a student at cooperative university main campus and other upcoming plans which i won’t disclose them officially until they are achieved
That’s nice.
Yeah
Just like everyone there is always a starting point how did it all just begin
From a student to a musician.
I had passion in music since I was a kid
But I came to realize that I can sing when I was in highschool, Butere Boys High School….it was the year 2016 I was in form 2 by then
I was singing popular songs and I was into rap songs that I could rap even faster than other classmates of mine who had the same taste in music as mine
But someone called Peter Njuru, my former classmate asked me why I don’t write my own songs?
It was a great step for me to realize that and it made me who i am today
Miss Universe: So you have made your choice to start somewhere the first step in life is starting. Love the confidence.
Thank you
That aside the marketing tolls in the music industry are very low how do you plan to manage to make yourself marketable
It depends on how you had agreed with the management while signing the contract, some managers could go extra mile to make you marketable
But as the it is said in Swahili, “chema chajiuza…” if you’re just a good artist and you are passionate with what you do, things will be good because everyday when you wake up you have to come with a strategy on how to be heard out there as managers and other parties involved including fans would support you
It’s a world of scramble. Struggle for the fittest. It’s for the one who can stay focus. Are you ready for the task.
That was one of the decisions i had to make before my journey could start
And i am more than ready for the battle
Lovely. Getting into the entertainment you need to get ready for scandals. They await you.
Those
are one of the challenges that come with it, but you find artists like Wyre could be in the industry but they hardly respond to scandals even when they may arise
Other artists use the scandals to gain more fame or platform so it depends on one’s approach to such kind of situations
But it’s not wise to run away from situations, you have to handle them like a mature person
So you are ready.as a musician, how well would you entice your people that the other musicians have not done
See beats come in but they fade
Every artist, every producer and every instrumentalist is unique in his or her own way because, talent as a natural thing can hardly be duplicate with that of the other person
But the only thing someone has to do is to embrace his or her uniqueness and ensure that he or she is different from the other artists and with the help of producers, the particular artist will have a chance to embrace his or her unique talent
As for me, being lyrically fit is always my strength so the more I write songs the more ideas come in and be open for my fans to listen to.
Another factor is to do freestyles or song covers which create a better impression or version of the original music that’s why some vocalists get better and get a good platform when they apply this technique
Okay. We are strangers to that sector. So how many albums do you have currently and have they reached the market
Currently I don’t have an album yet, but i have a series of singles and collabos on the way roughly 20, those are to market my work before I start dropping albums/EPs and God willing I will be launching them annually
Miss Universe: Your first song still waiting for the video.can you describe it. The inspiration
Grey: My first single, Give Up No More, is inspired by a true story basically talking about my life on how I got started, where I am and where I wish to be in future. So in every journey, there isn’t a smooth even for the able ones because to get to the top is a process but one shouldn’t give up no matter the circumstances
About it’s video, for now am focusing on releasing series of audios in the interval of 3weeks so that when the following year is getting started, videos will be dropping back to back
Inspiration right from where it began.many youths take a step behind with fear of lacking money. How well should one consider singing
Considered that money is crucial
The main reason for the set backs young artists face is lack of finance
And I was in that position before
But if you’re really passionate with your music, you have to take an extra mile to support your music in terms of sponsorship, distribution and monetization
For example, this Kenyan Star, Arrow Boy was working in a butcher as he was saving funds to establish his career and eventually he made it with his first single
So one has to do what it takes to get into the industry and following the right path nothing is impossible
This is really an inspiration. Work hard and save for your music we are waiting to here more of king Grey. Waiting for the echoes
Good luck.
Thank you
