The Calling of Wele wa Kasawa As the big orange sun slowly sunk down the village of Makhele, it splashed it rays on the southern reaches of the Great Mountain of Masaaba. Slowly but steadily walked Wekuke, an elder and diviner from the clan of  Baala . Behind him, a huge crowd following him continued to build up. Disturbed by awful dreams, his soul had seen what had for long troubled the village. Wekuke was headed to a particular homestead down the path to mwifubukho. He was an Omulakusi, and for sure, this evening; his wits had directed to tackle the old woman who was responsible for increased infant deaths in the village.

It reminded me of the stories my grandmother used to tell us, about lighting one little candle  to spread light in the dark. A few weeks back, I was in a beautiful resort near the charming city of Nairobi, enjoying an authentic luhyas meal Ugali and chisaka.

Instantly, the entire 500-room hotel, which was in full occupancy, was evacuated as a precaution.

  walking dead Generation M any parents worry about how exposure to technology might affect toddlers developmentally. We know our preschoolers are picking up new social and cognitive  skills at a stunning pace, and we don’t want hours spent glued to an iPad to impede that. But adolescence  is an equally important period of rapid development, and too few of us are paying attention to how our teenagers’ use of technology—much more intense and intimate than a 3-year-old playing with dad’s iPhone—is affecting them.

Young people report that there might be good reason to worry. A survey conducted by the  Royal Society for Public Health  asked 14-24 year olds globally how social media platforms impacted their health and wellbeing. The survey results found that Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram all le...
