INSECURITIES

I am giving up my time talking about the issue that affects a lot of people in our community, it is even considered as normal people being insecure on certain things and only few succeed to be secure on what they like and what they do. If we will look out to the world today we will see that almost all people are doing things because they have thought the thing will look good to the people and they will not receive any critics from what they have done.

Where am I going with this, the same place you are thinking, I am going to tell you to do things that make you happy and not what make other people happy, there have been a habit of saying things like, I am going to shut their mouth by being successful in the most paying career, you are making it there but what next, you are not even enjoying working there, you become even more depressed with that than even how you were depressed with their words.

The world now is full of people who think what they do, they like or what they belief is the best and is the only right thing, they forget that anyone can make anything right and best, they are complementing and even more than complementing but forcing people to be as they are forgetting that life doesn't work that way. Life has different packages to us even if we were born on the same day, by the same mother and have been living in the same house.

If life has started giving you happiness before others share with them, if life has given you a chance of success before others, never exploit them or being arrogant to them, and like wise if life has not chosen to give you the happiness until now never be jealous of others because the more your package of success become late the bigger it is that is why it takes time to be delivered to you.

Life is full of different people, some are there for you, some aren't, some are there partially some are permanent, but they are all important and they come into your life for a reason, if not to give you the best memories then they will give you the best lesson, appreciate them, be aware of the fact that the best way to learn something is through experiences and crying because of something is not bad and is totally acceptable but please when you cry for it cry hard and harder so that you will never cry for the same thing again.

FOLLOW ME ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA

I don't want to write a lot but I have two more things to tell you today, if you are in someone's life just because you think they will be hurt when you leave please leave them and hurt them once than staying in their lives and hurt them everyday, and remember what you are doing is very important and is the best thing, whatever comes into your mind before thinking about what other people will say is the only thing you are supposed to do, you are not there to impress anyone but you are there for you and those who are genuinely with you.

Be appreciative to anything in life because the best gift that life can give you is a lesson to learn no matter how.

Happy mother's day from around the world

Happy mother's day | always a pleasure to have you.

Since then we don't have host moms anymore [they became our Moms now], Our Moms have been a support to us whenever we needed support, they have been out motivation whenever we have to deal with something, they have been our cheerleaders whenever we need ones. Our Moms support us and I believe they will always support us because we are families now, we love each other and of course, we miss each other.

Our Moms have that thing in common that only exchange students can understand, opening their houses to total strangers and welcome them in, accepting all things their culture, their way of dressing, their ways of eating, their challenges, and be there for everything they go through and transform to be a family member and merge their hearts and become inseparable. 

 For 2020's mother's day, I found out that we still need to show love to our Moms, we still need to appreciate all they do to us even if we are not with them. And what I learned from my Mom being appreciated can be very important than anything you can provide, I wanted to join all exchange students to appreciate our mothers, and all of us are wishing a very happy mother's day

"To us you are like heroes who could do anything to save exchang students, to us you are like our second halves we can not live on our own, to us you are like our phones we can not live a second without you, yes now and forever" 

For that reason we are featuring you below, not everyone had time to send their Moms but these few represent the whole group of exchange students. We all wanted all host moms to be there but for some reason that is above us, we are using these on behalf of all Host Moms.

Jill Marie

"she is the kindest, most supportive person I know. She is always seeking to help others. She really helped me become independent and think for myself because she would always guide me but never make decisions for me and that was scary at first, but it really helped me to understand how capable I am to make decisions. This is a huge thing for me. She is also extremely fun to talk to and to hang out with. She is a great mom and a determined person. I love you, Mom! Happy mother's day!"

Jocia

"Going on an exchange to a completely different country would be a bit scary for anyone. But surprisingly I was not afraid at all. And my wonderful host Mom is to be thanked for it. She made me feel welcome to the family even before my arrival and as soon as I met her at the airport, I knew that I am in the very best hands. Jocia, my Host Mom, is definitely one of the nicest people I know and she has some super powers to make everybody feel good and safe. Jocia manages to take the best care of every detail and she never fails to surprise me (for example, my favorite candy was waiting for me in my room the day I arrived). During my exchange year there was not a single time I didn’t feel like at home. Jocia has a beautiful smile and such an altruistic heart that there are no words to describe it. My host Mom was definitely the spotlight of my year, and she did everything in her power to make my stay perfect. And it was so indeed. I will always be thankful for everything she has done and still does not only for me, but for everyone around her. Like a little sun, spreading the light and positivity all over. I am very lucky to know this extraordinary woman, wife and mom. Thank You for everything and happy Mother’s day!" - Goda

FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO TANZANIA

Understand LESCOTA-Tanzania | Make your country proud and put it in this worldwide team to help communities

As I have always been telling you on the importance of helping and giving to our communities, a lot of people have heard it and they are really willing to help their communities, here is the opportunity to help, it is a campaign of building schools in rural areas, take this as an opportunity to help your community, and as starting here is the team helping a mango school construction in Ruvuma Tanzania

Short information about the organization

CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE The objectives of this program are to help construct, paint, repair, and maintain classrooms, libraries, and community centers. Install solar panels, making quality learning environments for rural children.

TEACHING ENGLISH The objective of this program is to tutor pre and primary school students in English since English is the language of instructions and language of opportunity"  Read more about them

Talking about construction repair and maintenance the team is in Tanzania and has organized a campaign of constructing Mango school in Mbinga, Ruvuma Tanzania.  Lescota NGO director - Maurus, has placed a call for help at an online volunteering platform, provided by UN. 
This resulted in the cooperation of seven (7) people from different countries around the world who are willing to help different communities, among those countries, are Brazil, Philippine, and Italy. One of the things they are dealing with is making sure that children in the villages are getting proper education by helping them with library stuff and building classrooms.

This is an inspiring example of how people from all over the world can help, even during the COVID-19 lockdown. Their virtual flight landed in Tanzania, Ruvuma in Mbinga village where they found a very outstanding village and they aimed to help the school system of that village, interestingly, the villagers of that village showed the needs of their children to study and they cooperated to make their own bricks and they need little help to finish the school library and hands washing area to be ready for the new school season ahead

Be a helper, connect with us, and let's roll together!!! ...

Always you can help as I always say in my posts, so today I beg everyone to take part in this campaign to make sure that our children in Tanzania stay safe during their studying and have reliable pieces of equipment for their studying process, the global has shown it supports, the villagers have shown their support, you can also support this campaign by donating to this project at GoFund Me - Lacosta Tanzania

The other way you can help this project to get going is by sharing this ost to all people who you think will help in one way or another, you can also snd your donation directly you can find them at FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM  or TWITTER 

... then you are our hero!!

after you donate to build this school yo are then our hero, we plan to write the names of the donors on the walls of the classrooms and libraries, yes, your name will be inside our classrooms, and we will be s happy to be proud of you anywhere, isn't cool? 

For more information, you can reach out to me on FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM or TWITTER and ask any questions on comment sections and responsible people will answer you.

Time management

How to manage your time as a youth

As a youth living in the 21st century, you may find that a very important thing is time and it is limited as it never waits for you o be ready instead it goes no matter what you have achieved or how much percent of what you planned was actually achieved. So you may want be every good in time management to be outstanding and to keep up with everyday schedules

What can you do to manage your time

Many people are struggling with time management that is obvious, but there are somethings that you can do to keep up with your time 

1. Give every event 5-10 minutes prior

In every event give it 5 minutes to prepare before it starts if it occurs close to you and 10 minutes if it occurs far from you. And by this I don't mean five minutes for preparing to go to the conference, it is five minutes to prepare to prepare to go to the conference. That is if the meeting is at 5pm you have to be there at least 4.50pm, that is what I mean

2. Spend your time as a multiplier

This is a very important method of managing your time, a multiplier rule says that you are squeezing now to release later. Here I mean you want to Finnish your first event early so that to have a lot of time for the next activity. Let's take an example of students who take two tests, you have three hours each, you may want to finish the first test for 2.30hrs to get 3.30hrs for the second test.

3. Be a good picker of your  events

Some times you have a lot of activities to do, you may want to choose important ones to do first and then you can to others. Learn more about how to be a good picker here.

4. Explore

The other way of managing your time is to explore what you are going to do, you can do research on the topic you are going to study so that it takes you a short time to understand and that will save you a lot of time to do other stuff

5. Your time to sleep is fixed

Your 7-8 hours of sleeping should be there to set you free from feeling sleepy when doing your tasks. If you don't get your sleeping time completed you will must feel sleepy when doing stuff and that will make you spend more Tim doing just a small thing. 

Don't forget to share this with other people so that they can also learn from it, leave your comment down there and remember to stay safe from the COVID-19 disease. 

Who am I..?

WHO AM I?

This is me during one of the workshops I attended

 

This will be a question to many people, who is this to make me read what he writes? ou
Ok, then I am here with the answer to that question, I am not trying to force you to read my writings but I am sure there are plenty of things you can learn from what I write and it will help you a lot.

I am a youth in Zanzibar who is passionate about three things that I would sacrifice my life to have them, I will tell you them and why am I passionate about them and how do they transform my life. I

Volunteerism

 As we all know that volunteering is the act of spending your free time to help your community and those in need. This is the first thing I am passionate about and during the time when I volunteer I find it the most enjoyable moment of my life, I love to volunteer to the extent that when I stay dong nothing at any time I feel like I could have done a lot to help my community. To me volunteering is not only doing activities but staying and thinking about what to help is part of volunteering, I always see myself as a helper no matter what condition I am at or what place I am at.

Leadership

Many people define leadership as the acting of leading others, considering that, I define leadership as the act of leaders and leads to work together to complete a certain task under certain goals. Leadership to me is more about people sharing skills, ideas, and experiences and not as many people think it is the act of one person to be on top of others and have total control over everything.

Traveling

Moving from one place to another huh? Yah! that is how a large number of people takes it but to me traveling is more than that, it is more about go and experience new things and culture, to me traveling may be in my house if I will get a person who will be teaching me new culture and experiences and we exchange ideas and opinions, that is traveling to me. 

Those are three things I am passionate about, and Was I actually born a traveler, a volunteer and/or a leader..? 

Of course not, and unlikely many other people think that a lifetime environment is what makes you realize who you are, to me it is very different from that. For me a place that I first lived for more than 12 years made me afraid of being a leader and actually I hated all leaders in my school and my community, the second place I moved at I lived for more than 2 years and that didn't make me realize that I want to be a leader, a volunteer or a traveler, I was as all people with our common phrases that I want to be a doctor and later when I started a secondary school after knowing that there is no way I can be a doctor by taking business classes I changed my phrases and became I want to be an accountant when I grow up.

After two years of studying is when I knew that in my heart there is a spirit that is traveling after I had been told that I can to tests and when I pass I can go to U.S.A to do an exchange year. That was my life-changing year, you can read my exchange year story by texting I want to read it on here. Can you imagine less than a quarter of my life days made me realize who I am and who I admire? Yes, after my exchange year things to me became really different, I didn't erase my dreams of becoming an accountant but I added things on top of that, that I will be an accountant and a lawyer. And after that exchange year, I realized that experiencing new things will tell you what you actually want and after that, I put this important quote that is most spoken with exchange students that "life is like a book, staying on one area is like reading the only chapter" and I never want to be a one chapter reader out of 1000 chapters out there.
