THE JOY OF LIFE ON PLANET EARTH

What is the true joy of life on this planet called Earth? I believe it can be found in four simple things:

1. LOVE — Love your neighbour.
2. SERVICE — Serve humanity.
3. SHARING — Share with those who are suffering and in need.
4. RECOGNITION OF THE SUPREME BEING — Serve and honour God.

We often forget that we were born naked and with nothing. We go to school, graduate successfully, and then some of us begin grabbing land, stealing from others, exploiting the vulnerable, and accumulating wealth at the expense of others.

As we do this, squatters increase, slum dwellers struggle to survive, and some people work hard only to have their money taken through corruption and unfair practices. Others grab thousands of acres of land and leave them idle while many families remain homeless and landless. Some even hide food to create artificial shortages and raise prices, while others kill and destroy in the pursuit of power.

But after all this, we will all die one day and return to the earth.

Surely, if we call ourselves children of God, why do we behave this way? Why do we live as though we do not care about one another or about the generations that will come after us?

My dear fellow Kenyans, please take note:

A. Life without service to humanity — Vanity.
B. Power without love — Vanity.
C. Education without service — Vanity.
D. Money without sharing with the needy — Vanity.

The true fruits of a good life are love, service, compassion, peace, and happiness.

Let us change our destructive and careless behaviours and embrace higher values that promote humanity, dignity, justice, and love for one another.

May we remember that whatever we accumulate in this life means little if we fail to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

God bless Kenya. 🇰🇪

. A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION TO GOD AND ALL KENYANS:

My dear friends, supporters, well-wishers and fellow Kenyans,

I take this opportunity to sincerely and wholeheartedly thank each and every one of you who has stood with me and our foundation in the mission of transforming our communities and restoring hope to the vulnerable.

I am particularly grateful to those who have contributed towards the education of young people and helped needy students pursue their dreams. Some of these students have been supported from secondary schools and have now progressed to Technical schools, universities and beyond. Your generosity has not only paid school fees—it has given young people hope, dignity and an opportunity to build a better future.

To everyone who has donated, encouraged us, prayed for us, shared our messages, followed our activities or simply taken time to read the information we share, I sincerely appreciate you. Sometimes a simple share, a word of encouragement or showing interest in someone's journey can make a great difference.

I also wish to make a humble appeal to our leaders across the country. Let us embrace peace, respect, dialogue and unity. Let us avoid goonism, violence, hatred and unnecessary destruction. Kenya is our home, and we must all take responsibility for protecting it.

It has taken many years to build a nation(KENYA) but it can take only a second to destroy what has taken generations to build.

Political differences should never make us enemies. Let us learn to disagree peacefully, respect one another and put the interests of Kenya and its people above personal or political differences.

The Kenya we want tomorrow depends on what we do today. Let us leave our children a country that is peaceful, united, prosperous and full of opportunities.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported this mission in one way or another. May God bless you abundantly, bless your families, and reward your kindness.

Let us continue to give hope, empower the vulnerable, educate our young people and build our communities together.

With gratitude and blessings,from-

Fr. Makewa
CEO, Father Makewa Foundation.

OUR COMMON FUTURE-SHARED DESTINY:

The Kenya we want must be built on foundations stronger than politics, tribe, or the temporary differences that divide us. It must be a Kenya firmly anchored in democracy, justice, peace, unity, love and the economic prosperity of her people.

We stand on the shoulders of great sons and daughters who dared to dream beyond their generation—leaders and patriots who fought tirelessly for Independence.They believed in a Kenya where every citizen would have dignity, opportunity and a voice. Their sacrifices must not be forgotten.

Today, we have come of age as a nation. The greatest liberation of our time must be economic emancipation—a Kenya where our young people can find meaningful opportunities,and future Generation have a more better place to live and work. And above all where families can live with dignity, where farmers are rewarded for their labour, and where every child can dare to dream regardless of where they are born.

I therefore urge Dr. William Samoei Ruto and all those entrusted with leadership plus the opposition to unite and push the boundaries of economic transformation. Kenya has the potential to become an economic tower in African nation that creates opportunity, Inspires innovation, creativity, Immaginations and brings hope to every Kenyan.

But as citizens, we too have a responsibility.

We must learn to tolerate one another. We will not always agree politically, socially or ideologically. But disagreement must never become hatred. Different opinions must never become enemies. Our diversity should be our strength, not our curse.

Kenya is bigger than any one leader. Kenya is bigger than any political party. And Kenya is certainly bigger than the differences of one election season.

As a priest and as a Kenyan who has served kenyans in my capacity, I shall continue to fast and pray for our beloved motherland. I pray for our leaders. I pray for our young people. I pray for peace among our communities. And I pray that God may grant us the wisdom to build a nation worthy of those who sacrificed before us and those generations yet to come.

I believe in Kenya.
I pray for Kenya.
I work for Kenya.

And above all, I am proud to be Kenyan.

May God bless our leaders. May God bless our people. And may God bless the Republic of Kenya.Thank you.

Fr. John w. Makewa,CEO- fr. Makewa foundation.

LET YOUR SOUL AND MIND FLOAT ON THE WINGS OF HOPE AND DETERMINATION

When the Israelites reached the Red Sea while being pursued by Pharaoh’s soldiers, they thought they had reached a dead end. They saw no way forward and felt that all hope was lost.

But through the power of God, the Red Sea was parted, and the Israelites crossed safely to the other side. When Pharaoh’s soldiers attempted to follow them, the waters returned and they were defeated.

This reminds us that God will always fight for us when we trust and believe in Him. As He fought for the Israelites, He will fight for you, for me, and for all of us who put our faith in Him.

Therefore, do not panic or allow yourself to be overwhelmed by fear, regardless of the challenges, struggles, and ups and downs of life. Trust in God. Work hard. Live in love, faith, and hope, and keep moving forward.

There may be moments when you feel that you have reached your own “Red Sea,” with no way out. But remember: where you see an ending, God can create a new beginning.

Keep believing. Keep working. Keep hoping. One day, sooner than you may think, you will overcome your challenges, and everything will be well.

«“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14»

Be blessed.

THE FOUNDATION OF A GOOD FAMILY

A good family is built on love, respect, trust, unity, and effective communication. Family members should support one another through both success and difficult moments, creating an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and appreciated.

A strong family encourages open and honest communication, resolves disagreements peacefully, and practices forgiveness. Parents should guide their children through good examples, discipline, responsibility, and positive values. Every family member should also play their part in creating peace, understanding, and togetherness.

A good family does not mean a family without challenges. Rather, it is a family that faces challenges together, learns from mistakes, and remains united despite difficulties. When love, respect, faith, and responsibility are at the centre of a home, the family becomes a strong foundation for individuals and society.
Even when life is in difficulty and confusing,distressed, perplexed, persecuted, But not forsaken. God sustains us. Never abandoned or defeated.

Love Must Be Sincere

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil and cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor as you serve the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.

Share with the Lord’s people who are in need and practice hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of humble position. Do not be conceited.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.

On the contrary:

"If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

WE NEED A NEW KENYA

The Kenya of 1963, with a population of about 7 million, is not the Kenya of 2026, with nearly 60 million people.

We cannot solve today's challenges using yesterday's solutions. That is why poverty, ignorance, and disease continue to affect our nation.

The world has become a global village. Technology is advancing rapidly, universities are producing thousands of graduates, and many young people complete secondary school every year, yet jobs remain scarce. Land is limited in some places, while vast areas remain idle.

A New Style of Leadership

1. Blended Leadership: Experience and Innovation

Experienced leaders bring wisdom, while young people bring fresh ideas and technological skills. Kenya needs both.

When educated graduates remain unemployed, leadership has fallen short. We need leaders who ask, "How can we transform one million graduates into one million entrepreneurs and job creators?"

2. Patriotism Should Be Taught from Early Childhood

Schools should not only teach mathematics and science but also instill patriotism, constitutional values, civic responsibility, integrity, and the dignity of work.

A child who grows up loving Kenya is less likely to engage in corruption or destroy the nation's future.

3. Build an Economy of Action, Not Promises

- Invest seriously in agriculture through irrigation, greenhouses, and water harvesting. Kenya should produce enough food instead of relying on imports.
- Promote industrialization by establishing factories in every county. Instead of exporting raw coffee, process and package it proudly as "Made in Kenya."
- Expand housing, roads, railways, and water infrastructure to create employment and support economic growth.
- Ensure idle land is put to productive use through farming, housing, or other development projects. Land should benefit the people, not remain unused.

4. Put People First

- Strengthen child care and counseling services in schools to address mental health challenges, drug abuse, and unemployment-related stress.
- Guarantee food security through proper storage systems and expanded irrigation.
- Invest heavily in clean and reliable water because water is the foundation of agriculture, industry, health, and life itself.

5. Invest in Science, Communication, and Technology

In today's digital world, a young person in Kenya can do business with customers across the globe.

Government should invest in research, affordable internet, technical and vocational education, innovation, and employment centers. A degree alone is no longer enough—skills, technology, and innovation create opportunities.

A Message to All Kenyans

Stop electing leaders simply because they come from your community, family, or tribe. Elect leaders based on a clear Five-Year Development Plan.

Every candidate should answer these questions:

- How many jobs will you create?
- How will you provide clean water?
- How will you use technology to improve lives?
- How will you make productive use of land?
- How will you protect and uphold the Constitution?

A leader without a clear plan should not be entrusted with public office.

Our Call

Fellow Kenyans, the Kenya of today is very different from the Kenya of 1963. We need leaders who are visionary, patriotic, accountable, and committed to creating jobs, building industries, improving infrastructure, ensuring food security, and empowering our youth.

Before voting, read every candidate's manifesto carefully. Study their record and ask tough questions before giving them your vote. If elected leaders fail to serve the people with integrity and competence, they should be held accountable through democratic and constitutional means.

Corruption must be wiped out.

I am now discharged from the hospital and safely back at my residence, fully recovered after four days at Bishop Kioko Hospital.

First and foremost, I thank Almighty God, who created me in His own image through my late mother, for restoring my health.

My sincere gratitude goes to my Lord Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Norman King'oo, his Procurator, Fr. Francis Maundu, for their care and support throughout my treatment.

Above all, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the entire Bishop Kioko Hospital family—the CEO, Mr. Kiilu; the Matron, Damaris Kamba; the doctors, nurses, and all the subordinate staff—for your exceptional treatment, compassion, and humane attention. Your dedication and kindness are truly commendable.

May the Good Lord bless you abundantly for the outstanding care you continue to offer me and many others. May the prayers and legacy of our late Bishop Urbanus Joseph Kioko continue to enrich us, our hospital, and the entire Diocese of Machakos.

Amen.

TO BE TRULY PART OF G7 IN DEVELOPMENT: LET KENYA STAND UNITED IN PEACE AND BE PATRIOTIC.

As our nation remembers the lives lost during past demonstrations, we join all Kenyans in honoring their memory and praying for peace, justice, and unity in our country.

We respectfully appeal to all citizens that if demonstrations are held, let them remain peaceful and lawful. Let us express our views in a manner that protects life, respects human dignity, and upholds the values that unite us as one nation.

We urge everyone to refrain from destroying public property, as these are resources built through the contribution of all Kenyans and are meant to serve present and future generations.I plead to all leaders to be patriotic for higher value.Let us also respect private businesses and personal property. Many families depend on these businesses for their daily livelihood, school fees, and the well-being of their children.

Violence, looting, and destruction only increase suffering and hardship for fellow citizens. As we remember those we lost, let us also work towards building a more peaceful, just, and prosperous Kenya.

Let us honor the memory of the fallen not through destruction, but through unity, responsibility, and peaceful engagement.

May peace prevail across our nation, and may God bless Kenya.
