Ultimate Wings Rescue Center

Pay attention to the weak, the overlooked, the struggling; God notices and promises deliverance in return. It's not charity; it's blessed awareness.

Beekeeping, providing access to economic empowerment.Hunger is not always about lack of food… sometimes it’s lack of skills.

If one person is living on the first floor while another lives on the tenth floor of the same apartment, when both stand on their balconies, they will be seeing different things. The person on the first floor will only see neighbours on the same level, or their view may be blocked by a three-storey building in the neighbourhood. The person on the tenth floor, however, will be able to see the whole city panoramically.

That is exactly what education and exposure do: they determine your viewpoint in life. They determine how far you can see, the opportunities you can identify, and the ones you can take advantage of. Education and exposure also determine your level of creativity. When you are exposed to more possibilities, your creativity expands.

I have taken time to research how Singapore and China rose to be globally admired, and I discovered that they embraced education seriously.

I strongly encourage people to embrace learning, and I urge students to take their studies seriously. Let it be known that you are trying your best and earning your grades—whatever they may be, rather than living under the illusion that you can succeed in life without education. While that may be true for a few rare outliers, it does not apply to the majority.

Consider this simple research: go to high-end estates like Karen or Runda in Kenya and ask the residents about their level of education. Then go to the slums and ask the same question. You will realize that affluent estates are largely occupied by educated people, while slums have a higher number of school dropouts.

People often justify their situation by pointing to a few exceptional individuals who succeeded without education. My question is: how many such people are there in your village?

It pains me to see young people treating education lightly because of careless s*x and drug abuse. They are literally butchering their own future. Life is unforgiving, which is why I speak raw truth when I address students in schools. I thank God that I have been receiving testimonies of transformation.

If you were not privileged to receive a good formal education, you can still choose to learn something outside the classroom and succeed in life. Remember, knowledge gives you an edge.
