Culture and an Open Mind

"Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit" 

- Jawaharlal Nehru

According to the Oxford Dictionary culture is defined as: "The customs and beliefs, art, way of life and social organization of a particular country or group" Every country, every geographical area, every people has their own individual culture. The diversity and individuality afforded is a very beautiful thing, allowing for the fostering of identify within oneself. Which can then invoke a sense of power of self due to feeling like one knows who they truly are.

However, lately there is has been monumental shift in culture- one that we hope will continue to bloom and grow. It is that of a global culture, that all humans are apart of- one of love and understanding. One that allows us as humans to nurture and enable one another, so we may feel unique and loved just as we are no matter what.  

What do you love about your culture- near, far, or otherwise? 

Smiles make the world go around

" Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."

-Mother Teresa

Some days it feels like it's us against the world - some days it feels like we could conquer the world. Most of the time it all depends on our attitude. At least that's what I've begun to learn in life. Usually the key to flipping that switch, at least for me, is a smile - either received or given. A smile really is the language of love- and the effects of that smile can reach a lot deeper and further than known. So this weekend let's all spread some love.

Ripples across the Oceans

When I lived near the Ocean a favorite thing to do when I felt disconnected and alone was sit on the shore feet in the water and think of all the lands, all the people these waters were touching at the same time. It helped me feel connected to the earth, to others, and to my inner purpose.
The quote "Be the Change you wish to see in the World" from Mahatma Gandhi has been a life goal of mine basically since I first heard it. I've been striving to be a positive influence in all I do. Sometimes it's easy to feel that spark within and be a light, be a ripple. Other times it's difficult to find your inner purpose and it's the ripples of hope from others that rekindle your purpose, your passion. We are all connected on this beautiful planet-every person, plant, and animal...How can we all impact each other for the better?

Asante Sana: Highlighting "Little Hands Making Big Differences"

Little Hands Making Big Differences

When the Linemen of Rocky Mountain Power in Goshen, UT heard that Little Giants didn’t have electricity they took matters into their own hands.  This group of lovely individuals gathered together and raised funds out of the goodness  of their hearts – enough money was raised to allow Little Giants School to get electricity!!

Thank you to the Linemen of Rocky Mountain Power in Goshen. The students at Little Giants Primary School have a brighter future thanks to your efforts! Your hands came together to make a big difference in the lives of others. Asante Sana! 

For whom does the bell toll?

It tolls for thee!! Little Giants Primary School in Riore, Kenya needs your help in order to make sure the school bells will be able to ring next fall! 

That’s right. Thanks to donors and supporters like you Little Giants has grown so much in the last 3 years, that there are too many students for the amount of rooms. Next year, without an upward expansion, the third grade students won't have classrooms to learn in!

Little Giants has been saving up to build a second level, but just doesn’t have enough to complete the project by the time the school bell rings. Here is where you can be the hero, yet again! Every dollar donated goes 100% to funding the Little Giants Building Project, and every dollar donated helps get us one brick closer to adding rooms. Building a safe haven for more and more students to learn, grow, and explore in.

Be a Student Hero

School sponsorships is one of the many ways Tabibu Africa, Inc works to provide aid in the areas we work in. We believe that education is the key for true positive change for the future.

Our main school, Little Giants, in Ruiru Kenya currently has several students that cannot afford tuition. We have yet to witness the Director, George, turn any students away regardless of gender, financial status, or health. Doing this creates a deficit of funding; paying teacher wages, licensing, supplies, and more. Tabibu Africa, Little Giants, and our Director can only continue this valuable work of education through sponsors like you!

You could be the hero for Lewis, a 7-year old very bright young man who always smiles. His mum, Margaret, is a single mother who works as a construction laborer. She has also helped to start up the first PTA in all of Ruiru through the Little Giants School. It is always a joy to follow up with Lewis and interview him in person. He is always so helpful and smiling. He loves to play football (soccer) and he's an amazing artist.

There's also sweet, 5-year-old, John. We have seen him grow and learn to smile again. He first came to us so shy and wouldn't look anyone in the eye. You can now see his bright eyes when he looks up at you and his sweet toothless grin. He wants to become a pilot when he grows up and we know he can do it!



Jane is a seven year old student with amazing goals. She loves to play hide-and-seek and is very grateful at having a sponsor. She was very ill last year and with the help of our medical team she was able to get proper medical attention as well as sanitation education for her family. She is now very healthy and has plans to study and then go onto University to become a doctor. Jane's mother is very active at the school as well, helping to start the first PTA in Ruiru.
With your help you can help students just like this continue with their education and not worry about if or where they can go to school.

With your donation of $155.00 per year (that's just 42 cents per day) your donation will provide one student with a uniform, shoes, books for the year, supplies, 6 month medical screenings and appropriate treatment, and 1-2 field trips. YOU will receive biannual reports on your child; progress note, picture, and letter or drawing from your student. You are also welcome to write letters to your student as well. You will also have the knowledge that because of YOU one more student will succeed and know that someone on the other side of the earth cared enough about them. That makes them smile everyday!
