5km to fight against HIV/AIDs

 


Well, I've been hearing about marathon, and sometimes witnessing how different groups of people participate in it.

On commemorating World's Aids day, the marathon was prepared, and I voluntarily decided to participate, at first I thought of 10Km, but later on, go with 5km.

My first marathon, and that was surely curiosity drove me there..uhm.

I got tired and almost giving up to finish the run, but I made it, yes, I made it to top 10 as a 5th person (in female).

Back to the day, the day that always reminds us on how HIV/AIDs has been a very critical problem to our society, particular in our African continent.

But what is my responsibility as youth, a girl to ensure I stop this?

Everyone matters, I use my platforms to remind people, especially youths that, HIV/AIDs is there, and we should all stop the spread of the disease, by doing what?

By ensuring that we check our health status everynow and then, and also, use protective ways to stop the spread, especially all who are already engaged in sexual intercourse. 

But where are the victims? Do we, society making follow up to ensure they are in good condition, regarding their way of using their medicines? Are their mental health in good state? Do we engage them in all community activities including entertaining ones like sports? Do we make them comfortable with talking about their health status? So should we!!

And do you think about girls in Universities and all education institutions? They are in high risk to be trapped in the disease, they face challenge to have sex with the people and leaders in position for them to be favoured? But what is my role as a young girl? 

The research shows how risk the young girls are in getting HIV/AIDs, girl, wake up, and stop the transmission!

In every 80 new HIV/AIDs cases, 64 cases are of young girls.

Am dedicating the prize to all HIV/AIDs victims and to all people, organizations both national and international for their support and initiatives to stop the spread of the disease!

People and Technology

For the long time that I have been experiencing the change in all aspects of life even cultural, I also experience the change of technology time to time. Actually technology has been advancing to simplify activities done in the world. Do people change with the technology changes or we all somewhere observing technological changes but we never change? More than 3 billion people around the world using social media every month. Social media has taken the large part to influence people move with the technology, since it started, it has been a essential piece of our business marketing strategy, connect people with their customers. It allows people to reach others logically, regionally, nationally and even internationally. For social media having many users, does it mean people move with technology in other areas too? Technology has been introduced in many sectors, but do people apply them too? Do they have influence as social media has to people? Technology is an assemblage of practices and...

Hiking Day at Uluguru Mountains: A lot of reasons to conserve

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, the Uluguru Mountains stand tall and proud, beckoning adventurers with their lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking panoramic views. As an avid nature enthusiast, I embarked on a hiking day at Uluguru Mountains, seeking solace from the bustling city life and an opportunity to reconnect with the pristine beauty of the natural world.    It was not a first time, and surely it will not be a last time. BUT, little did I know that this expedition would prove to be a transformative journey, both physically and spiritually.       The Ascent Begins With my backpack packed and a heart full of anticipation, I set foot on the trailhead around 10am. The air was crisp, and the sweet aroma of the surrounding vegetation infused my senses, drew my attention, that, it was time, time to get far and reconnect with the most beautiful and tiresome activity that am attracted to, accompanied by an experienced guide, not in such, but t...

Developing a Personal Mantra

Its been a long long long time since we were here!  Anyways, happy new year 2025!  I’m looking forward to sharing more stories, reflections, and snippets of daily life here. Come to "sharing", last year I got to hear a thing about "mantra" from a friend and a mentor, and this is what I firstly need to share before we dive deep in 2025. Mantras have a way of anchoring our thoughts and guiding our actions. As I approached 2025, I felt the need for a guiding principle that would not only inspire me but also provide a framework for how I navigate the year. That’s how I arrived at my mantra: Intentional Progress . This article shares my journey of developing this mantra and how it can shape my actions in the year ahead. The Importance of a Mantra A personal mantra is more than just a phrase; it’s a compass that aligns your actions with your values and goals. It serves as a reminder to stay focused and intentional, especially when life becomes overwhelming. For me, a mant...
