men or women... Naturally who is the better parent...

ok so here is the story. we were having a work debate sometime last week and that question along with a number of other gender roles questions made me think. these questions were a rather interesting topic. now here is what I think. there is no such thing as a natural parent. ohk. let us first define parenthood, I think its the act of parenting i.e. providing, love caring and so forth. it is from this definition that I can say that there is no such thing as a natural parent, male or female, mother or father everyone has the potential to be a good parent. Who defines better anyway??? Better at what exactly????? Discussion

Young Achievement Sports for Development Homeless World Cup

2018 November 8-15 16 talented young boys and girls from marginalized communities around Harare have a chance to travel to Mexico City to represent Zimbabwe in the Homeless World Cup. Of the 16, 8 will be boys and 8 will be girls. The theme this year "Inclusion, Participation and Development" sums up the 3 things lacking for the chosen demographics and communities. They are often ignored, used for political misdemeanors, shunned and pretty much left with no identity. This inclusion and participation allows for them to develop on their self esteem, to believe in themselves and the hope that football can change their lives. Some are scouted by local and international teams, some go on to start their own enterprises only because someone believed in them. I have gotten the pleasure of meeting youths in some of these marginalized communities, I have worked with some of them and it was a life changing experience for me too. I got to understand that there really is a story behind every situation. The stories show a lot of child headed families, a lot of overcrowding (10 people living in 2 roomed houses) a lot of kids not going to school and the correlation to the high usage and abuse of alcohol and drug, the existence of petty crime and aimless loitering. Most of these kids just want someone to believe in them, someone to help them, hence your time and effort will not go unnoticed.
The euphoria, the cheering audience, the hope that someone will notice them will go a long way to positively changing these kids' lives. Make it possible and you will realize the kind of joy you will get from doing this.

No matter the obstacles put in their path, if everyone is determined to make it all work, if we are united in our attitudes towards the game, against all odds we can make the impossible, possible.
Let us change the world, one child at a time...
