DREAMS
There are a lot of theories and beliefs concerning dreams in different ethical groups in the world. Their interpretations differ from one community to another. Examples of these interpretations are like; when one dreams of death of a person, it means that the person will not live for long. Dreaming of someone having sex with you, you might never get a child .If you dream of rain, it’s a symbol of blessings but if you dream of a good harvest, famine might occur .If you dream of dying you might never wake up. If one dreams that he is eating meat or his teeth have come out, someone from his family might die.
Most of the time dreams are things we think for long or do or maybe might happen in future. It is good to value and respect them as they form part of our daily lives.

VIEWS ABOUT DEATH IN THE DURUMA COMMUNITY
Our country Kenya is composed of 42 different ethnic groups which have different views about death. The Duruma as one of ethnic group in Kenya have different views about death.
Once someone dies the body is buried in a grave within duration of 24 hours or more when all his/her children and grand-children are all present to mark the end of their beloved one. The dead are buried differently according to age and cause of death.
Children are buried near the doors and elderly ones are buried at a cemetery (mabirani) in the Duruma language. . Men who have lived as bachelors all through their life, a piece of coal has to be inserted at the back then removed before they are buried. This is to show that they have nothing countable behind and should not disturb anyone. Women who die while pregnant or giving birth should be buried away from the cemetery as failure to this leads to the other women die of the same cause. People who have died by drowning in rivers or seas are supposed to be buried along the river banks and seashores as failure to this may lead to all their relatives die of the same cause.
After the burial of the deceased there is usually a duration of moaning (Matanga) which begins with the slaughtering of a he-goat for men and a she-goat for women and this last for 5 days for men and 6 days for women. The difference shows that women have more ribs than men and that they were created from the rib of a man also have more responsibilities than men. Thereafter a magician is called during the last day to prepare magic oil for the moaners. At dawn of the last day of the matanga the moaners are taken to nearby river to take bath. this shows that they should accept God’s creation. They are then shaved completely (bald) and smeared with the magic oil prepared by the magician.
The clothes of the deceased are shared among the family members, friends and relatives and should be worn until they tear off before one year since burial. One should not go with such clothes to his/her girlfriend/boyfriend as this is a bad omen and lack of respect to the dead person

FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION [F G M]
This is a severe female circumcision whereby, the genitals are badly injured by removing them.
It is with deep sorrow and feeling to talk about it today. African culture really subjected women into various tormenting problems especially this action since it signified maturity.
In 16th century, this was so common in most of the communities in Kenya compared to nowadays which is still being practiced illegally in some of the communities for instance the Maasai and Somali. Despite the fact that this went on, it had a lot of negative effects: there was reduced sexual desire since the clitorises were chopped off, difficulties in delivery where some could even die since the labias were stitched and only a small space was left, no marriages to uncircumcised as men preferred those who were circumcised and also excessive bleeding which led to death.
Just imagine, if it were you, can you feel the pain?
Female genital mutilation has brought more harm than good; most women took a step ahead to abolish this devilish act to save the rest. Fortunately, this was put into consideration in the Kenyan Laws. Strict penalties are charged to those who do it.
Wow! This is a great improvement to women, rising from nowhere to somewhere.

THE KENYAN MARRIAGE [DURUMA TRIBE].
If a baby girl grows in a family, the parents know that they’ll benefit. When she matures and gets a boyfriend, she either informs her parents who later on arrange for a wedding or she decides to go to the man and live there secretly, leaving the parents to search for her before they discover that she is married.
The boy’s parents arrange for a meeting with the girl’s parents for the dowry price whereby the girl’s parents request for anything they want and the in-laws give a certain deadline for the payment, if they fail the girl is taken back by her parents to fasten the payment. When it is paid, it is divided amongst the girl’s family members. Then the marriage can take place. If they happen to get children, they’ll all be named after the husband’s family and they’re said to belong to the husband only because it is said that the girl was sold and therefore, everything is for the buyer.
By Asia.
KENYAN COMMUNITIES [POKOMO]
In Kenya there are many different communities with different customs and beliefs. Every belief in a certain community looks different or peculiar to other. There is a small community which lives along River Tana, in the northern part of the country, in the coastal region. The Pokomos as well described above, is a community well known across the country for eating crocodiles [Ngwena] in their mother tongue. Although crocodiles are known to be dangerous animals in the eyes of many but that’s different with the Pokomo. When they come across one, they raise their hands up celebrating for having a prey. When a crocodile is killed, it is first dissected in order to remove the internal organs plus the bile which is known to be very poisonous. Since it is also known to be in terms of witchcraft [bile], it is ensured that when being thrown everyone should be a witness. This is due to security purposes. If you want to know that you’re the most piece of cake, have a piece of fried crocodile meat and you’ll know the secret. It’s really tasty.

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 course. 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 LIVE
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!!
By Irene
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!

DIARY – By Linet
Hallo everyone there! Welcome to the new Kwale Homeopathic centre at Kwale. Let me tell you of the beautiful trips we normally have. In my life I had never seen a live elephant but just on TV and books, just describing and not seeing them. Wow! When I first set my feet at Kwale, I didn’t know that I would have a chance of going to a place where these animals are in abundance. Our director took us to a place called mwaluganje at Kwale where we saw the the big elephants. Some were drinking water and others just moving about the land. It was so beautiful and I really enjoyed it. We normally go there often and have a good time with the animals. On the way to the animals, we can also see some monkeys and baboons jumping from one tree to another firmly carrying their young ones on the chest and swinging happily. What a beautiful and lovely place to see!!!!!!
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!!! – By Pauline
When one is born in difficult, she will make sure that everything goes well .The background of someone also predict the future to be. For real, the way in which one is brought up determines a lot . As one who experiences hardship, she will make sure that she works extra hard in order to bring light in her life and also for her people. This is what happened and what is going on among the sixteen lucky girls in Kwale homeopathic academy (sweet sixteen). We are now building our future by working hard in our studies. Our main aim is to become great homeopaths and be known across continents. We are a small group but one seed buried in the group , produces more than a hundred other seed!!!
Rising from nowhere to everywhere – By Asia
Day by day, the girls are growing,
Not only physical, but mentally and psychologically,
Through the support given, eventually they enjoy,
From nowhere to somewhere the girls are heading.
It is known world wide, without exaggeration,
Education in female, is less valued in Kenya,
Who is to asked, may be the grandfathers know,
From nowhere to somewhere the girls are heading.
Here comes the support, for the lucky sweet sixteen,
From all over the world, to build their future,
Let girls get education, for it is of importance,
From no where to somewhere the girls are heading.
Here is their target, becoming great homeopaths,
Shaping their future, together with the world,
From committed individuals, to larger family,
Rising from nowhere to everywhere.
Girl Child – By Chizi
During the olden days our country Kenya had some practices which made the girl child to have low or no priority at all. First of all girl child was made for the kitchen, take care of their husbands when married and child bearing.
Since the upcoming of the child rights and gender organizations has given the girl child the first priority and abandoned all the cultures. For the south coast of Kenya girl child education has been enhanced through the Verkaart development team. And now through the 4 kenia organization hand in hand with the verkaart team and the big hearted Dutch donors has enabled the sweet sixteen to pursue a homeopathic course so as to help the country and the world at large.
The community at Kwale – By Mariam
‘Kwale’ as name of the region where the homeopathic academy is located originated from a name of a beautiful bird called ‘Kware’ in Swahili and pigeon in English. Many of these bi9rds were found in forest hence the Kwale forest.
The region is dominated by the nine tribes called the ‘mijikenda’ Miji means homes and kenda means nine, nine homes. The tribes are Digo, Duruma ,Chonyi, Giriama, Ribe, Kambe ,Kauma, Rabai and Jibana.
The nine tribes have one thing in common; they share the same ancestor though the language spoken sound different from each other and the cultural practices and beliefs differ to an extent.
Kwale is particularly dominated by the Digos and the Durumas. Most of the practices and beliefs of these two tribes were borrowed from the Arabs who invaded the coastal region long time ago. This makes the two tribes social and welcoming.
A Great place to study – By Christine Chibwara
Life here in our center is laid-back and not stressed, there’s plenty to do if you choose to and the people here are friendly and approachable.
Its like living in one big family because we all love each other and stay in unity. In fact one day was at the supermarket and I forgot to bring a pen to mark off my shopping list. I asked my room mate if she had a pen and this lady turned around and said ‘do you need a pen dear?’ I found it so nice!!!
The course is well taught and the facilities they offer are great! Our lecturers and tutors are great too, in that you won’t have to look far to find a smiling face and people are ready to help.
The group is small, but creates more interaction. I enjoy the group projects and presentations in tutorials because they train u to work well us a team. This small group of sixteen ladies works together in several activities like, swimming, cooking, cleaning the compound and doing shopping. I love the oneness among the group.
I believe this center of 4kenia is the perfect place in which to grow academically, professionally and personally, because one would one time like to study in a peaceful and relaxed academy in a natural environment, together with invaluable and satisfying facilities.
Without hesitating “ get here as soon as you get the chance”
SWIMMING LESSONS – By Christine Musembi
The director introduced a swimming lesson in the Kwale homeopathic academy. This because almost all the students do not know how to swim. The lesson is taught by two German ladies in Matuga pool which is a few kilometers away from the centre. We know by the end of the lessons all the sweet-sixteen will be experts in swimming!!!
An Academic Trip – By Salama
It was on Saturday 12th of April 2008 when we had our first trip to learn about waste management. We visited 3 hospitals one of which is the major district hospital (msambweni hospital)
Apart from the management of used syringes and other minor waste from the hospital we also had a nice chance to see how dead bodies are managed as solid waste. I can say that we were very lucky for there was a fresh dead body which was being prepared for preservation. The doctor cut the jugular vein automatically drained in the drainage system as waste water. Then formalin, as a preservative was drained in the body to make it stiff and then the body was stitched. It was then taken to the refrigerator where many dead bodies were preserved waiting for collection by their family members. This was really a nice experience.
The Rescued Star Fishes!!!! – By Daisy
PLEASE listen to me
Heed to my voiceless cry
We plead for mercy
But no one listened to us
But why should it be us the African girls??
The never ending discrimination
Sexual exploitation
Are just but a few
We are victims of gender basis
Female genital mutilation
But why should it be us the African girls??
Then here comes an angel
Far beyond the seas
With an image of a woman (Marie)
Ready and willing to rescue
With aid from Holland
And the 16 star fishes who once
Belonged to the endless list of the harassed
African girls are finally rescued…
We are lucky to be among the 16 rescued star fishes
And its all thanks the people in holland. Your help
Is highly making a difference in our lives.
AFRICAN LADIES – By Rebecca.
It is a fact that we all have different skin complication, but it is surprising that African ladies do not like their color. Most of them end up bleaching themselves so as to lighten their skin. They forget that the natural beauty is the best and after enjoying the artificial beauty for a while the skin complications start and the individual becomes very ugly. Diseases which were not there start developing due to blood poisoning and this leads to wastage of money to cater for the medication. Oh! Beauty is good and I believe everyone is beautiful so, let us all believe that we are the best in the way we are avoid using chemicals on our skin!!
WHAT WE DO IN THE ACADAMEY DURING THE WEEK – By Lizmat
Can you guess what we normally do? Oh yes let me tell you. From Monday to Friday we attend classes which starts from 8.00am and run to 4.00pm.In between 10.00am and 10.30pm is a short break and during this time we bask in the sun and from 12.30pm to
2.00pm is a lunch break and we do prepare our own food for lunch. Here comes a Saturday which is a busy day. During this day we do the following: general cleaning which starts at 7.00am and ends after two hours. At 9.00am we gather under a shade and do the work of the project, of course the sweet sixteen project! At 12.00 noon we break and go for preparation. By 1.00pm lunch is ready. At 2.00pm we go for shopping in a nearby market known as kwale and it takes around 3 hours. By 5.00pm we are back in the center and we start preparing chapatti and coconut beans. At around 7.30pm it is ready and we (the sweet sixteen, the teachers and the Director) sit on one table and have that delicious meal! During the meal no one talks because it is lekker!! After the dinner we normally watch movies. On Sundays we normally wake up early and prepare breakfast for all of us again! For the Christians, they go to church and the day ends and the week too!!
HOW A DAY STARTS AND ENDS AT THE ACADEMY – By Florentina
It normally starts very early in the morning. We start the day by taking shower , cleaning our residence and then breakfast follows. The classes begin at 8.00am and we break at 10.00am and come back after half an hour. For lunch we break at 12.30pm and come back at 2.00pm .The classes end at 4.00pm. The interesting thing is that we a now having our swimming lessons from 2.00pm to 4.30pm. During weekends we wash our cloths and some cleaning. After that everybody is free to do anything else. In our shade we have music whereby we can listen to and dance. Kwale is a nice place for people to stay because it has a nice and conducive weather. So you are all welcome [KARIBUNI]
KENYAN YOUTHS – By Celine
Kenyans are very intelligent with what they are doing in particular. In Kenya the youths usually struggle in their academic but they are usually doing this in order to get job so that they can get money to run their lives smoothly that is why they like to have but not to be.
Many young girls from Kenya drop from school for early marriages which usually planned by their parents so that they can get money hence the girls experience many problems because of the discomfort from unplanned husbands .Due to poverty in Kenya many youths are associated in prostitution and married women complains that the youths snatch their husbands. Thank God the problem is coming to an end because of the Verkaart Development Team who sponsors the girls to secondary schools. Also the lucky ones join homoeopathy headed by Marie and they gain a lot of knowledge and I believe from there they will be a great help to many Kenyans.
A DUTY TO PERFORM! - By Irene
The clean and cool environment at 4Kenia is like a cover up of what is happening in other places. For at first I never thought that there were some important places which were lying in a mess and needed our attention. These thoughts were shortly cut off by the trip for Sanitation and Waste Management we took on 12th April 12, 2008. We visited various hospitals to learn and look at how they manage their waste but to my amazement, they had not yet reached the good point of sanitation! Therefore the sweet sixteen have a duty to perform! To teach the community on the importance of properly managing their waste and the benefits of good sanitation. Though the sweet sixteen are few, they can do it, to even all parts of Kenya and world wide since never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world! Indeed this is the thing that has ever existed!!
THE DOCTORS WITH BIG BOOKS! – By Lizlug
It is with great pleasure to receive the best type of alternative medicine in Kwale district, coast province and Kenya at large. Some Kenyans have nick-named the homeopathic doctors as ‘DOCTORS WITH BIG BOOKS’, while some think that we are herbalists which is completely a different practice. It is quite challenging for the homeopaths/us to convince our people about the unique healing power and process in homeopathy. All the same the homeopathic gospel is spreading like fire in a desert and it is found to be the best type of treatment especially in the coastal region. The sixteen doctors with big books are training to be classical homeopaths. Wow! This is great!!
THE TREATMENT OF HOMEOPATHY – By Siti
They are small in size; they are white in color,
They might look similar, but the difference is there,
The treatment of homeopathy, have a wonder to perform.
The questions are many, but very important
The interview is long, but very helpful,
The treatment of Homeopathy has a wonder to perform.
The clinic is small, but assurance for health,
The homeopaths are qualified, with a lot of experience,
The treatment of homeopathy has a wonder to perform.
The fee is little, affordable to all,
Men and women, rich and poor,
The treatment of Homeopathy has a wonder to perform.
The medicines are sweet, and easy to take,
The cure is rapid, gentle and permanent,
The treatment of homeopathy has a wonder to perform!!

Waahuh!!! Mayo denda. This is bombastically high tech. The brains are bigger, the minds are fresh and the intentions are healthier.
You have hit it. Not once, not twice and i mean not thrice, but you have sweetly hit it- sixteen times!
You take off like a jumbo at the Hearthrow end of the runway, up up up into the blue skies and my fear is one, girls. Only one fear our sweetsixteen. My fear is in one sentence making it only one, not the many fears of Argent nitricum; that your success is more certain than your otherwise failure.
I am more than certain your ambitions are within the reach of such bright girls.
Chao!

Hi Linet,
The first time I saw elephants in Kenya I was so suprised how diferent it was from looking at them in a zoo. It’s great that you have them live there in freedom. Hope you will tell us more about all the animal live around Kwale.
With love and a big hug.

Hi Pauline,
I think that it isn’t just one seed at Kwale. 16 seeds and you say 1 produce a hundred other seeds. So I believe that you all will produce more than 1.600 seeds to be spread over Kenya. Please keep writing on the weblog, I love reading your words / thoughts.

Hello Mariam,
So good of you to tell us something about the tribes living in the area. Are you member of one of these tribes?

Hi Christine Musembi,
And now we know you all know how to swim. You did a great job in just a few days.
Hope you will have a lot of fun when you go back swimming again.

Hello Salama,
Do you think the waste management is well done? from what you have seen. I can understand that it might have been a nice experience, but was it good in your opinion?

Hi sweetsixteen,
Suprise ! Suprise!its amazing what you are doing. Allow me to call you sweet sixteen live bottles of perfume, which you need to take out doors. to show the entire world. No one can guess what you have! you are all excited, go ahead and hold your bottles high above your heads, let the whole world smell the perfume. But before they acknowledge that its a true perfume take the cap off the bottle, let them tell if its real or not.
I know they will like it. “say, that is the real stuff, all right!. There is need for you sweet sixteen(future homeopaths) to uncap the bottle and let the kenyans, including the whole world breath the fragrance of homeopathy. When homeopathy lives in your heart people will know that you have them at your heart always, for, you will diffuse the perfume of this knowledge across the continent.
girls you are the living bottles of perfume, yours is to spread the fragrance of homeopathy in Kenya and Africa as a whole and let the people in the world enthusiastically respond, “Homeopathy, that is is the real stuff, all right!”
love
kyley

Hi Sweetsixteen,
Beautiful input this month.
Nice to have a look in your thoughts and opinions.
So wonderful to read how you think about live, animals, people and your lives at the clinic.
To bad you can’t come as a group to Holland and we can’t all come to Kwale to meet and greet.
With lots love and admiration.
Hans
