Got an awesome programme in Zimbabwe, Young Achievement Sports for Development. awesome work. the organisation helps improve the lives of young people through: Sports Training Programme (STP) Educational Support Programme (ES) Youth Support Services Programme (YSS) Through the Sports Training Programme, YASD uses street to impact the lives of youths who were idle and were exposed to drug abuse. Through daily training sessions and weekly games the organisation has given youths in the community sense of pride and value. Time and again the team participates in soccer tournaments which serve to expose the youths to different styles of play as well as lifestyle. The Educational Support Programme is an initiative established to assist to educate children and young people in Hatcliffe, Harare, Zimbabwe. Children that are still at the primary level are supported with uniforms and fees and places to go to local government run schools. When they go for secondary education we strive to get them to boarding schools where they have better educational facilities. The Youth Support Service Programme is the arm of YASD that offers psycho- social support on an individual basis. The organisation offers grooming lessons, and prepares young people for job interviews, and business etiquette .YSS helps young people avoid these influences by giving them practical examples of people who have made it in life coming from impoverished backgrounds. Through the YSS we train young people on the different life skills, teach them the principles of peace, tolerance. We are trying our best through this tough time. Help us, help them... through donations of any sort. follow us on yasdzim.org or follow us on Facebook at Young Achievement Sports for Development.

DOES ZIMBABWE STILL HAVE SANE, RESPECTFUL,POLITE OR CONSIDERATE BUS CONDUCTORS....

We have all come across disrespectful people in our lives but public transport conductors take the cup. Zimbabweans can support me on this one. We have come across rude conductors once or twice in our lives others even more times than others & each time is worse than the last time but a few still act like they come from people.Emphasis on a "few". Rude rowdy behavior does not begin to explain the level of INHUMANITY that has engulfed this species. To think we came from the same creator , let alone the same procedure of birth makes it even worse and scarier. Is it even the case? Did we really come from the same place or is it the job that has turned them into raving lunatics, disasters waiting to occur. Don't get me wrong l don't loathe their choice of profession nor do l despise them as a group of people l just happen to think they too should consider, respect and make a journey worthwhile considering that if those people were not there, if everyone had their own means of transport they would be unemployed. Yes sometimes civilians have a way of provoking conductors but that doest mean they should disrespect them besides the customer is king inst it? So in a business a customer is always right right? Bus commuting is a business right? If only there was some sort of qualification for this type of job were these people are taught manners and register and not forgetting the importance of the customer. l don't know maybe all they need is divine training who knows. Those people have a mind that does not work in a way normal peoples do. I am not saying they are not normal but sometimes l just wonder. Different days, different times and different buses mean different conductors and different experiences. Being subject to such torture makes you rethink twice about boarding a bus but what else will you do, what else can you do....

"She was just sunshine, and she had an ability to touch people and hearts very quickly. Doctor Ottilia Chareka may your soul rest in peace....

Ottilia Chareka, the 42-year-old St. Francis Xavier University professor was killed on Wednesday March 16 by her husband, Patrick Ms. Chareka’s life story has been about jumping over obstacles, proving men wrong, doing the impossible.

She was the first woman in her clan to finish high school, the first to go to university (against her father’s wishes), the first to get a master’s degree and the first to complete her doctorate.

Ms. Chareka came to Canada in the early 1990s and discovered her teaching credentials were worthless. So she enrolled in the University of New Brunswick, and worked as a maid at the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel to pay the bills.

When she arrived, she learned her teaching degree was not recognized. She retrained at the University of New Brunswick, working as a hotel maid in Fredericton to pay for her tuition.

In a documentary about her life called Familiar Stranger, she said it was a big change for her — in Zimbabwe she had owned a house and employed a maid.

She got her master’s degree in 1994, returned to Zimbabwe in 2001, then went back to the University of New Brunswick to get her PhD in 2005.

Hundreds attended services for Ottilia Chareka the weekend following her death and last weekend two benefits were held with proceeds going to her five daughters.


May her soul rest in peace and may Patrick Chareka pay for his atrocities

At the time of her death she was an assistant professor at the Nova Scotia university.

Police say Ottilia Chareka, 42, died from injuries sustained in the family home Wednesday morning.

RCMP found her with life-threatening injuries after responding to a 911 call about a disturbance at 27 Centennial Dr. She died two hours later at St. Martha's Regional Hospital.

Patrick Chareka was arrested at the scene.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT?

There should be an increase in awareness because a lot of people are not aware of identity theft. People should be informed on how the thieves, who you should report to and how to prevent identity theft. More awareness means more preparation to deal with the problem when it presents itself. People should protect themselves by making sure personal information and financial records are kept in a secure place and should not be given to just everyone. Financial documents should be shredded before they are discarded so that whoever gets hold of it can not use the information because they cannot see it. People should also avoid giving away personal details like credit card numbers or social security numbers especially on emails they do not understand without first contacting the organization or company that supposedly sent the email. If these personal records get into the wrong hands risks of having that information used for a variety of unethical and illegal means is relatively high. Law enforcements on the other hand should also improve or help in responding to complaints and trying to find the criminals.

ARE WORD PROCESSING PROGRAMS MAKING STUDENTS LAZY?

Word processing programs makes life convinient for students for instance when writing essays. These programs help in fixing spellings, grammar and sometimes puntuation, automatically format documents and helps in correct referencing but it does not write the essays fo the students because the students still have to research and formulate their ideas into a body of text. Word processing programs do not make students lazy but rather more productive because not much time is spent on learning spellings or punctuation because these programs assist in the task. On the other hand some educators believe that these programs make students lazy in that they do not put any effort for they know word processing programs will do everything for them from sums to correcting spellings, grammar and formating docments automatically. As a student myself l believe word processing programs do not make us lazy but makes us more productive.
