I hate school…

I hate school…

Jul 14, 2010

I hate school, but I love learning Albert Einstein once said “All through life, I never allow my education to interfere with my learning” I’ve learnt the hard way that school shouldn’t be looked at like an institution but as a tool. It completely shifts my paradigm anyway when I try to unlearn what I’ve learnt all through...

The role of the church in Nation Building

3 years after…

“The only way to say it is “Thank you for the impact you have made in the lives of the people. The testimonies of yesterday, I’m sure, will be said in the next 20 years and you guys will be at the receiving end. Thanks for being a blessing to this generation. I quite appreciate. And also for the huge cheque dropped, thank you. I know it...
