Stop jumping out of a ship that’s going to Africa into a ship that’s travelling to London.

Stop this mentality of “Jumping out of a ship that’s going to Kenya into a ship that’s travelling toLondon”.

I once heard a preacher in Africa say “ people like adding to those that have more than those that don’t”, am not very sure if this is true but sometimes I wonder.

I look around people who volunteer to work with us at Cancel Cancer Africa and am very blessed to have highly motivated people travel to hard communities and give their all.

On the other hand I have noticed so many are looking from afar to see what will happen to our trips some for the right reasons and some not too so. I say this, as I can understand that while some are a bit curious if we actually do what we say we do or if it’s safe to venture these African communities, or it they heard about it just too late, this I fully understand.

But there are those who are waiting for the glory and juicy locations, since I put up our dates for the one day programs in New York, Japan and London next year, we have been having a lot of emails and interest from mostly Africans.

There is a saying in Africa that “You did not eat cassava (Garri) with me, but you feel you deserve to share my cherry top cake?” meaning, when the times are rough we must all pull in together as we continue to work towards the glory days. 

Our trips are not for fun, but for hard work. Our energy and motivation is and always will be to help others, selflessly.

We must develop the attitude of helping others, without expecting a reward this is called a selfless service. Our passion and motivation is not based on how juicy the communities we are going are but how much impact we can make in Africa, to communities that need our service.

I use this medium to advice our youths in Africa, be patient and support activities when they are young and growing, be part of things that are growing without expecting an instant reward or a reward at all in some cases. Stop this mentality of “jumping out of a ship that’s going to Kenya into a ship that’s travelling to London”.

Our 2015/15 schedule for the next few months is Kenya in September for two weeks, Nigeria in December for one week, South Africa in March for two weeks, Ghana in June for two weeks, New York, Japan and London all three one day awareness events to raise funds for our yearly projects. Then we are back to Kenya again.

We are excited about these trips and we thank the Gov of Busia County in Kenya, Cancer Partners UK in London and Pan Ocean in Nigeria for their support.

Have a nice day, and remember, “Whatever you do for others, God will make happen to you”.
