An Act of Giving Back to the Community

It's dated 6th April 2011, and according to my calender, it will be a Wednesday. This date will go down in history as the day of 'GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY'. This is the day when most KMTC Nyeri students will not be taking their normal lunch, not because it will not be available, but because we have decided to share it out to Orphans in Tumaini Children's Home. The college released consent papers to which any student willing to forego that lunch would give permission to the college to share it with the needy by putting a name and signature on.

At first I was hesitant (don't judge me already, I was being human) to sign because the thought of me missing a lunch did register well in my mind, but later I decided to sign when the image of what others go through daily-when we are here complaining of half-cooked food, little food and such like things-struck me. I at that moment wanted to sign two or three times but realised that it was that single meal that I was to forego, and only a single signature was needed.

This is a great move from the college management. In the spirit of doing little to help, I would like to urge all those (like me) who still haven't made up their minds (though I have) to give their one meal away for those who seriously need it, to please do so, and atleast have a little feeling of what our brothers and sisters go through daily out there (though I know for sure Panaroma will gain big time from this). You and I know very well that that single meal alone will not be enough, they also need some financial aid, clothing and everything that there is in making ones life comfortable.

If you feeling philanthropic enough, you can still extend your contributions by contacting the relevant authorities. But if that's the little we can do, gladly take it positive and may God bless all those who have decided to give away that lunch for Tumaini Childrens' Home.
To Kenya Medical Training College (Nyeri)administration....nice one!
