Colleague Talk - Passionate Appeal - 21st Jan 2008

With the current crisis in the country, families have been displaced, children are suffering No food, No shelter and scarce clothing. These are the three basic human needs. Our status in our lives is a blessing; let us extend a hand of giving to our brothers and sisters who are affected.
“The hand that gives is the hand that receives”.
My colleagues in office and I are contributing 2 bundles of Unga, 20kg of beans, 1 box cooking fat, 50pcs sanitary pads and 20kg rice. Please join us and lets help our fellow country men.

Action Point: Passionate appeal
These are the last words of Dr. Geoffrey William Griffin, founder of Starehe Boys Center, to his boys

My dear boys,

I have had a fruitful and happy life, and I have leant one great lesson that I would like to share with you. I hope Starehe will always teach this lesson – for as long as it does so, it will remain a great school.
This world is full of people who do their duty half-heartedly, grudgingly and poorly, DON’T BE LIKE THEM.
Whatever is your duty, do it as fully and perfectly as you possibly can. And, when you have finished your duty, go on to spare sometime and talent in service to less fortunate people, not for any reward at all, but because it is, the right thing to do.

Follow my advice in this and I promise you that your lives will be happy and successful.
May God bless you all..

My dear colleagues, I echo the same words of a man I greatly admire. Let’s focus on the less fortunate this week; I know you know the right thing to do. Will you do it?

“Management is doing things right; Leadership is doing the right things” Peter F. Ducker, management consultant and social science university professor.

Have a productive week ahead
