Happy 2014 dears!

Hi dears,

I wish you a prosperous 2014. For me, this year has alot of unlimited possibilities but of all, I intend to make it my last undergrad year. By God's grace it will be true.
Im also looking forward to going home after almost three years of not being home.

As for school, my winter semester courses are more like my fall sem... I took span courses,in other words, six credit hours classes. i need to have completed five of the six credit hours courses to fulfill my B.A. less alone six credit hours for humanities, six credit hours for social sciences and six credit hours for sciences. In sciences, i had to take a maths course so i took statistics 1000 in my first year which got cleared im happy no more maths classes for me. none the less, i needed electives of my own desire and my major courses.

So, for this semester i continue with my French class by Andrew Osborne, Religion by David,my field placement courses and a new course called "Becoming an Advocate" taught by Karen Naylor.

Well, i will have a new post about my field placement. In brief, i got an opportunity to work with Canada Post in their management team. Last semester i worked in Occupational Health and Safety. I job shadowed the safety officers in the depot and processing plant. This semester, i will be doing labour relations specifically dealing with arbitration.

Then i will take two courses in the summer semester to finish of my minor in management.

I pray all goes well and i get to clear this journey and continue with the next. God Bless x

Tata Madiba R.I.E.P

Hey Dears,


At 95, Baba Nelson Mandela has peacefully passed away today, Thursday December 05 2013 after suffering from a lung infection. For me, He was a "champion of forgiveness"
He is an inspiration to many. Like many others, I am inspired with his humor, mostly with his quote about Education being the most powerful weapon that a person could use to change the world. May his legacy continue to dwell as his soul rests peacefully. We will forever love you Tata Madiba!


Below is a picture of the two great African heroes taken from ANC archives.

World AIDS Day

Hey Dears,

Today is World AIDS day. Do you know your status?
Whats your contribution on this matter?
Did you know there are many social programs like AIDS series made in different African countries to create more awareness to the youths and society in general?
Well, if you did not see any AIDS series, be sure to search for LOVE GAMES from Zambia, MTV SHUGA Kenya for season 1 and 2 (I love the theme song-LOVE, SEX and MONEY). Then the most recent one, that just got displayed is MTV SHUGA Naija-Home coming :). Below is the first episode. Keep up with them on youtube :) Btw, there is also Siri ya Mtungi from Tanzania although it is mainly in Kiswahili but there is english subtitles one could keep up with while watching :)

Getting to zero at work

Hey Dears,

If you did not know, ILO with the UN family launched a campaign last year called "Getting to Zero at work". Simply, this campaign is trying to eliminate Aids in terms of zero discrimination, through treatment, education and many other ways. How does it relate to work? well, the "likelihood of getting treatment equals to higher chances of getting employed" :)

Enjoy the video of the week as we are getting ready to celebrate World Aids Day.
