The story of my life and my business has been on so many platforms but people only want to know the story without listening to stories behind the scenes, be slow to judge and listen. Read my stories on the Kenyan daily newspapers.
My story
7 SepYour junk can be someone’s treasure
30 DecI had to reblog this.
Yes, that you might be seing as junk in your house could be someone’s treasure somewhere in kenya, I share this story with a lot of pain in my heart when sometimes I find my hands tied struggling to help these young children suffering from cerebral palsy. It pains sometimes that’s their parents can’t afford even the money for their therapy and that’s why I came with an idea of training them on how to make african sandals so that they earn something to put food on their table and be able to pay therapy for these children. Magdaline is in her first day for the training on how to do the beadwork but our main challenge is where to put her three years daughter Gift, who’s suffering from cerebral palsy. We only have one option with us, though it might look painful but that’s the situation I need to…

Yes, that you might be seing as junk in your house could be someone’s treasure somewhere in kenya, I share this story with a lot of pain in my heart when sometimes I find my hands tied struggling to help these young children suffering from cerebral palsy. It pains sometimes that’s their parents can’t afford even the money for their therapy and that’s why I came with an idea of training them on how to make african sandals so that they earn something to put food on their table and be able to pay therapy for these children. Magdaline is in her first day for the training on how to do the beadwork but our main challenge is where to put her three years daughter Gift, who’s suffering from cerebral palsy. We only have one option with us, though it might look painful but that’s the situation I need to share with the rest of the world, Gift was tied with a piece of cloth on one of my chair in the workshop so that the mother could be trained. This hurts a lot but we depend on people like you reading this article to support us in anyway you can, By buying our sandals you support a family here. They’re handmade sandals made with these wonderful families.
The other option of helping us by donating to us those you call junk in your house, we need wheelchairs, mattresses, blankets, clothes, toys, financial support or any other support you can give us to help these families
THE MASAA MARKET.
4 Sep
The MASAA MARKET is a market that was founded by Happy Feet African Sandals and Rona Foundation to help the widows, orphans,disabled and the youth to come and sell their own crafts. The people who sell in this market are the same people who make the things they sell. This is a market without brokers. Like as seen in other markets, where brokers hike the prices of products, in the MASAA MARKET you deal with the producers themselves, the widows, orphan, disabled and the youth. The Market was Launched on 31st August, 2014 at Meladen Restaurant in upperhill near Nairobi Club, Kenya.This idea come into place as we were looking for ways of fighting Widow abuse in Kenya, and we came to realise when this widows are empowered and given some work to do they will depend on themselves and can stand strong infront of the abusers. HAPPY FEET AFRICAN SANDALS is an organization that was formed after a long struggle of Kevin Aloo( the CEO and Founder) in Kibera slum. The story of Happy Feet African sandals will be the next topic in my post.Rona Foundation which was also founded by Roseline Orwa, is an organization that deals with widows and orphans and its story will be in our next postings too. WHY THE MASAA MARKET? here you promote the widows, orphans, disabled and the youth directly as you interact with them face to face , unlike in other markets where you deal with brokers who doesn’t even know how to make the crafts. A purchase in MASAA MARKET, you promote a widow, an orphan, a physically challenged person or a youth in Kenya. Buy Kenyan build Kenya.
HTC employees indicted for leaking upcoming smartphone secrets
27 Decthats the problem of trusting employees with information
HTC vice president for design Thomas Chien, along with several other HTC employees, were indicted on Friday for allegedly leaking company secrets, accepting kickbacks and misreporting expenses, reports the Wall Street Journal. This isn’t exactly a surprise: Chien and others were arrested in August after an internal probe incited by complaints from HTC chairwoman Cher Wang.
Chien is alleged to have leaked upcoming phone design reference – reportedly for HTC Sense 6.0 – to a partner he was planning to begin a new business with. In addition to this, Chien and five other employees have also been charged with receiving 33.57 million New Taiwan dollars ($1.12 million USD) through kickbacks from suppliers and misreporting expenses.
The report doesn’t name any other employees outside of Chien, but HTC research and development director Bill Wu and design team senior manager Justin Huang were named as part of the probe over the…

Stop Politicizing the (fill in the blank)
14 Sep
President Uhuru Kenyatta has told his nemesis Raila Odinga to “stop politicizing” the land issue. http://www.news24.co.ke/National/News/Uhuru-tells-off-Raila-on-land-issue-20130902 The senior half of the digital duo also lambasted the vanquished head of CORD to stop politicizing the value-added Tax (VAT) recently implemented by Jubilee government. http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/business/2013/09/stop-politicizing-vat-law-uhuru-tells-raila/. And if that was not enough, The Hague-bound Son of Jomo may as well accuse Son of Jaramogi, his father’s chief rival, of engineering his summons, along with his deputy’s, to The Hague! http://www.nation.co.ke/news/politics/How+ICC+and+Raila+created+coalition+of+the+accused/-/1064/1634576/-/2r1hjxz/-/index.html Frankly I am waiting for Mr. Kenyatta and his sycophants to call on Mr. Odinga to “stop politicizing” the Syrian government’s alleged use of chemical weapons against the rebels!
The glaring irony is that the same man accusing his chief political enemy of politicizing land ownership, bread-and-butter/economic issues and the on-going trials at The Hague is in point of fact doing the very same thing: Talk about huevos or chutzpah!
Mr. Kenyatta…
