True Love Huggable Bear Campaign




Here's a cause I am so humbled to be part of; for me it is all about giving kids a chance to be kids again. Cancer robs that from them, between juggling chemotherapy, school and recuperating, the life of a child takes a terrible turn. let us come together and give them a comfortable, beautiful environment to be in.

Below is what True Love Huggable care is all about:


This year, True Love plans to provide 100 children with Cancer at Kenyatta National hospital on the 28th February 2013 with personalized Teddy Bears.
So far Safaricom, PZ Cussons,Serena, Span Image and Capital Fm have sponsored this campaign and we will ask the public for support in order to spread love
What the cancer children ward requires is cancer drugs, to pay medical bills for the patients which is their urgent priority.

Others items that can be considered include Mosquito nets (300), Four water electrical heaters (kettle), 24 Rechargeable electrical lamps, four microwaves, ten room heaters, three TV and DVDs as well as pedal waste bins.

Kenyatta National Hospital attends to over 70 cancer children patients with various types of cancers every month.

Radiotherapy treatment for cancer for six weeks costs KES. 15,000 per patient (i.e. KES. 500 per day) excluding cost of admission of KES 800 per day

The cost of six (6) chemotherapy sessions per patient is between KES.150, 000 – 200,000 per year (Note: A patient can only have a maximum of 6 sessions annually). Children on chemotherapy also pay the same. (These are excluding bed charges of KES 800 per day)

Safaricom and Capital FM social media, Capital Fm Kids club and website will push the campaign as well. We will observe the response from public and that will give us a feel of whether we should indeed visit the children on the 13th February or extend it by at least a week..

True Love has opened a face book page and it’s called True Love Huggable Care Campaign and the twitter handle is @truelovecares and the public can donate on Mpesa through this line 0715 794589.
Kindly assist to push the campaign on your social media plat form. For face book please send me names of people who will support this campaign so that we can make them admin and also their email address so that we can update on the twitter profile.

We are aiming at raising at least 2 million shillings for this campaign. Your support in this will be highly appreciated.


Please join us to support this cause.

An Open Letter to Prof Makau Mutua, keep your predictions to yourself.

Dear Prof. Makau Mutua, “I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.” ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye Prof, you and J.D Salinger clearly share no beliefs. And maybe you shouldn’t. But I feel that you would be the man with an evil laugh pushing the thousands of little children off the cliff. Let me explain. Your tweet on the 23rd of Dec 2012,in Buffalo, New York "@makaumutua I predict a military coup in Kenya after t...

THERE IS SUCH A THING AS EFFICIENT CORRUPTION

Yes there is! In countries where corruption is rife, you give in to corruption because you know you will get whatever it is you want, but here in Kenya, you could pay for it and pray for dear life that you get it. That’s inefficient corruption. These are the kind of insights that get me out of bed every last Saturday morning of the month. But the Topic was not on Inefficient corruption:-). Woflgang Fengler, who is the Lead Economist for the World Bank in Kenya was the main man at Aly Khan Satchu’s, :Mindspeak.The Business Club" , this past Saturday. After quite a party on Friday Evening, I made it just in time for the short and sweet look at Kenya’s Economic Outlook for 2010. It felt like I was in a Mini Davos, engaging with critical minds on the shape that the Kenyan economy is likely to take in 2010. ( I dare dream!) Fengler’s presentation was great, straight to the point and very well researched. Being an economist for the World Bank is no mean feat. It is a common notion th...
