Imagine our children out there on their own

-: @⁨Brown Indumwa⁩ 
Our greatest undoing is the fear of the unknown, we cannot take risks, it's hard for us to imagine our children out there on their own; it's better for them at home being spoon-fed than out there scavenging for jobs; that's the attitude of an average Kenyan; at forty the Kenyan boy is still 'too young to venture out there alone', we are not ready to change!!!

-: Thank you for this insight. 

I'd request the people in this group, 55 years and above, to aim for a legacy. To at least do something. To set a foundation. If they have any resources at their disposals, any ideas, any offerings, to do so. 

It is hard out here for us. Very hard. 

People do not only lack employment but also lack organized community systems to make them proud of the little they can do to provide for immediate needs. We have gone to school and the promised better (dream) life is not there. It is us to swallow that pill and reorganize ourselves. We can still fulfill our lives sustainably with well organized community activities. 

So that parents do not look at their children who went to school/whom they had high hopes for just waste around and away...

- Hello 55+ comrades!

-: @⁨Lung'afa⁩ 
I am hearing you, your sentiments are well noted but I would encourage the younger generation to embrace and like what they do, there is a lot the youth do knowingly or not which can be commercially exploited, the problem is 'we want to do what others are doing', please put value to what you do as an individual be it a hobby or otherwise; like Patrick for example and his research in the linkages of family trees, in Kenya very few people would pay much attention to it but out there it's a gold mine; it may not immediately translate into wealth for Patrick but his children and grandchildren 🤣🤣🤣 will reap handsomely from this research.

-: Ouch. 😂😂. 

- What is better?

Kudamba noho kwekoyera? 

- Debate. 😆
