Hope for the African Children Initiative (HACi)

You probably know a child in your neighborhood who will not get much for Christmas. There are several ways you can help a less fortunate child to have a more enjoyable Christmas.  You can reach out to a family with children directly or  take part in programs designed to make sure all kids receive some gifts for Christmas. If you have children of your own, you can teach them the value of helping other children in need at Christmas time. Christmas is a moment to share your bounty with the less privileged ones. Merry Christmas!

Keep flying like an eagle! The obstacle is not the problem. The problem is when you let it stop you. When there is one path that is blocked, most likely there are dozens of other routes available. You can choose to make excuses, or you can choose to make use of your imagination and your ability to innovate. Don’t focus on what’s stopping you. Put your focus on the eventual reward that’s compelling you to move forward. You’ve already come a very long way, and it certainly hasn’t been in a challenge-free environment. Even though there are more challenges now, you are most certainly capable of continuing to make great progress. Giving up might seem like the easiest thing to do right now. Yet if you give up, after this brief moment is over you’ll continue paying the price with never-ending regret. Choose instead to do what you do best. Commit to make great progress, no matter what, and in each moment you’ll find a way.

We are often let down by the most trusted people  & loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make  us cry for things we haven't done while some ignore  all our faults just to see us smile. Some leave us  when we need them the most while some stick by  our side even though we may have chosen a different route. This world is a mixture of such people; we just need to know which hands to shake and which hands to hold.

I understand some of us don't really understand or have refused to understand what child marriage really means. Well, this is what it looks like in a 'nutshell' FATIMA’S BIRTHDAY PRESENT It was my birthday and I let anyone who cared to listen know that I, Fatima, is no longer a kid. I am 13yrs old. I'm so going to let Aisha know that we are no longer mates as her birthday comes up in a few months. My dad had promised me a big birthday present and that had caused me to wake up very early. I had told a lot of people of my thirteenth birthday but they were really surprised I was only thirteen, they said I looked fifteen. I dressed up to go and see Aisha so that I could obtain permission from her father for her to be with me on my birthday I went and her father after wishing me a happy birthday allowed Aisha to come with me. On returning home, I couldn't help but notice that the house was unusually quiet. My Mother, Father and Alhaji Musa that always bu...

IT'S 2017 ALREADY: JUST 13 MORE DAYS TO GO!!! Hey dear, 2017 is here and you're still depressed or with tears in your eyes? This is 2017 and you're still grieving over the pains of yesterday – you’re still weeping over the hurts of 2016? This is 2017 and you're not yet strong or ready to move on? My dear, c’mon, your life's joy is solely your business alone, your life is yours alone to live...it doesn't depend on any human...Just take a look at your condition now, look at yourself..... Look at yourself now; you are crying, you are deeply hurt, you are pleading with someone who doesn't care. Right now your heart is in too much pain, and the wounds of your heart keep on growing day by day. The memories you shared with that person keep on flashing in your head. You are growing thin because of too the much thoughts. You can't even eat or sleep! You are equally hiding away from friends. Seriously, your life at this moment is in a total mess becaus...
