Urgent action in favour of the street children

June 28, 2011 in Blog, Children

This year the day of the African child was celebrated under the theme , “All Together for Urgent Action in favour of Street Children.” A number of activities were organised to celebrate the African child in Uganda. The Tumaini Awards were held to honor those individuals, Corporations, business persons and organizations that have gone an extra mile in the protection and promotion of the rights of children.
iCON celebrated the Day of the African child in Northern Uganda and visited Gulu Police School and Alliance High School where students were sensitized on the relevance of  this day. Students then participated in an art competition organized by iCON. In this competition they were encouraged to reflect on this year’s National theme of the Day of the African Child and solutions to the ever going problem of street children. The students would then express what they felt were the solutions through art work.

The Optimists creed

June 28, 2011 in Blog, Children, social enterpreneur, Women empowerment

This was shared by Women in Leadership’s Winnie Kamuya on the iCON mailing lis

I Promise myself…

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet

To make all my friends feel that there is something in them

  1. To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true
  2. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best.
  3. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own
  4. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
  5. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile
  6. To give so much time to the improvement of myself that I have no time to criticize others
  7. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
  8. My Attitude . . . Is My Life
