A HEALTHY COMMUNITY IS A WEALTHY COMMUNITY.
In everything one does, he or she expects a good prize out of it. Well known by everyone even the little babies, western medicines is mostly trusted and believed in Kenya. Other forms of medicine are all said to be herbal and witch craft. The major and main form of medicine, homeopathy was hardly known and practiced in our country, Kenya. Due to the desire for a healthy community sixteen girls were lucky to be sponsored in order to undergo a homeopathic through them a change is going to be seen in the country in terms of health. Though we are few little star fishes in the ocean where big and dangerous fishes are found, our main goal of restoring the health of our people is going to be achieved and we will eventually have a wealthy country. Restoring health is the highly and only mission.

“OUR PALACE” THE DORMITORY.
Do you know how a palace looks like, and who lives there? I bet you don’t know, then let me give you a clue…it’s a place where a king and queen live.
I will never stop comparing our dormitory to a palace because it looks like it. It’s big and comfortable to live in it. It has furnished and air conditioned rooms, with well appointed study area. It’s so lovely and enjoyable to live with friends because we chat, play and make fun with each other and no one gets bored. This strengthens the relationships among us.
We normally decorate our rooms by spreading our bed attractively, making the place like a queens palace!

“PRAYER”
Dear God,
To whose love keeps us here,
Guide us in all our daily aims.
Make us feel to learn
And be ready to work for knowledge
Let respect, obedience and kindness,
Be among us all.

A MORNING AT 4KENIA ACADEMY.
The beautiful sunrays break the sky,
And the sound of birds and wild animals is heard
The frogs are eager to see a new day,
And all of us are willing to open our eyes to see,
The sky is beautiful with a lovely coloring,
The morning dew is laid on our small garden,
The calendula, capsicum and belladonna celebrate,
For a sweet comes with a brilliant day ahead,
Everything becomes busy…
The students hurrying to class,
The night guides going home after a long night,
The teachers preparing for lessons,
The director budgeting for the day,
The secretary filing cases and remedies,
And so the day goes on….with bright faces
That cheers up the patients coming to the clinic
And others getting healed on the process
This is how a morning in 4kenia is,
With its loving people that surrounds
The environment by heart.

WHO AM I??
My name is unknown,
And am normally used by females,
Who am I?
I weep when talking & my moods changes,
Some times l am happy, other times sad,
Who am I?
Am better in open air though chilly,
Discharges are thick yellowish green,
Symptoms are ever changing, and am thirst less,
Who am I?
I have toothache which is better by holding cold water,
I fear ghost, dark and being alone,
I have headache from overwork,
Who am I?
I don’t take fat foods, warm foods and drinks.
Please guess who am I.? Some call me windflower,
Am sure all symptoms about me can be treated using my name!!!

PLEASE LET IT LEAVE
There were more than 50girls working in a garden as they were busy digging it, it started raining heavily and they had to look for a place to shelter themselves. There was a cave nearby and therefore they went in it. After a short while a frog jumped in and the girls
Screamed and shouted for the frog to be thrown out but there were two girls who were against it. Therefore the two girls went out of the cave despite of the heavy rain .The other girls decided to throw out the frog and all over sudden the cave closed up leaving a small hole in which none of the girls could escape through it. They screamed for help but no one helped them! They all died there, Oh poor them!!! It is believed that, that cave still exists to date!!
Please do respect the animals.

“THE SWEET SIXTEENS!!”
Busy as bees they are, waking up at dawn and sleeping late at night. Struggling to finish all assignments and reading their books ready for the C.A.TS and exams. Making handwork with the items of the project. A day in a day out, weeks, months pass and the soon the semester has ended. All this is done to accomplish their goals. Though faced by limitations, they work hard just like “mother birds” ensuring that their young ones are in safer places and have something to eat. Our motto is to aim high above the sky, and if we fall then it shall be on the clouds. For it is true to say life is a riddle and as complex as the sea. You have to forego some things in order to achieve others. Whatever the circumstances you must be ready to face them. Yeah the sweet sixteen are ready to face them….for they do not want to make pride come after a fall but before a fall!!

SWEET SIXTEEN!
Sweet sixteen aah! Sweet sixteen,
Up the horizon down the earth you emerge,
Walking down the street,
Looking for a beautiful place to settle!
Big hearts and intelligent minds,
Eyes protruded and mouth wide open,
Off to start treating what has been distorted!
Ahaa! Sweet sixteen here we come!
To all the places in the world,
Mountains valleys and swamps,
Different people, rich and poor,
The old, young and infants,
Treating regardless of their professions,
Ahaa! Sweet sixteen here we come!
Sitting eagerly in the consultation room,
Repertory, Materia Medica, pen and paper at hand,
Waiting for patients form all the world,
Endless questions but of more importance,
Mental, emotional and physical symptoms inquired,
Eventually the remedy is prescribed,
Ooh…yes sweet sixteen… here we are.

READ USING SPECTACLES (A PARABLE)
There once lived a man who loved reading so much. He would read every written material he came across, be it a book, magazine, notices etc. One day he got a book which was extremely sweet. He read and reread it. He paused a bit and read the book thoroughly from the outer cover, slowly and carefully to the last cover. At the end of it all he was blind!!! Only to find he was reading without spectacles! Therefore, when you want to read use spectacles for the sake of your health status.
Guess the meaning of the book, spectacles and being blind!

AIDS! AIDS! AIDS!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
God what have I done to deserve this,
God what has she done to deserve this,
God what have we done to deserve this,
We all loved them but they are dead.
A child here has no father and mother,
A child there has no relatives,
This child is hopeless, hopeless, hopeless,
Who will be the next one?
This is the question now.
It started as a mere joke,
It started as a simple death,
It was not talked openly,
But only in whispers, whispers, whispers,
Aids is for all, all even you.
If you don’t want to die,
Do as I do, do the following,
Be self-discipline in everyday life,
Never indulge in pre-marital sex,
To sum up do what pleases god only!!!!

THE AFRICAN WOMAN
It is very early in the morning the early rays of the sun still hidden behind the mountains, the African woman rises up from her mat, takes her clay pot and she rushes down the valley up the hills till she reaches the village well where she fills her pot and puts it on her head and she walks back to her hut. She takes the broom and sweeps the compound, prepares breakfast, while the man is still snoring on the bed.
After all that she cleans the dishes and prepares herself to go to the garden. She takes the younger child by the hand and the youngest on the back while she balances her basket containing the tools on her head and off she goes to the farm. On the farm, she digs till midday where she breaks and goes to collect wild vegetables for the dinner and a bunch of firewood and she walks back home .She now starts preparing dinner. After dinner she again washes the dishes and goes to rest on her mat waiting for the next day.

THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWER
What is this beautiful flower?
Many people would wish to guess.
None of them will be right.
I am the only one who knows the answer.
What is it?
Some African people would say it is an Indian Ocean.
While some European would say it is the wild and red rose.
None of them is right as per my perception.
Who can guess and what is it?
It seems none of you know the answer.
Do you really want to know the answer from me?
Do you want to tell me the answer?
You will feel happy when you will get the answer?
What is it?
Do you want a clue?
Go to the internet.
Do you really want to know the beautiful flower?
I’ll tell you.
The beautiful flower is in Kenya, at the 4Kenia Homeopathic Academy & Clinic.
Amongst the Sweetsixteen.
Who is she?

A CRY FOR HELP
Animals are asking for our mercy.
We mistreat them as if they are not God’s creatures.
We beat, step and even kill.
Just because we have power over them.
We deny them food and yet we want to be in their company.
It’s unfair.
I urge all human beings to take care of animals by loving and giving them shelter.
In this way the world will be a better place for all!
