It's never too late to Start over! 

 

When it seems to be no way, when you are down and done, it is the critical moment to (re)start more wisely. The problem is know when to strive and to quit because many people failed to endure challenges. Today, I would like to advise you to listen careful to your heart. Feel free to consult the experts in your critical area. “It's never too late to start over!” ― Lynne Gentry, Reinventing Leona.

Donate for 200 girls vocational training

Donate today and transform the life of 200 young girls through vocational training in handcrafts.

 

I am Nishyirembere Donat and I am passionate about girls' education in Rwanda. Through Startoday Ltd, a registered consultancy firm , Visit  https://twitter.com/startodayltd or https://www.facebook.com/StartodayLtd  in collaboration with schools, NGOs and Parents , we identified 200 poor young ladies who dropped out before they finish high school education due to poverty or inability of their families to meet the cost of education. The living conditions of these girls are very critical. Some of them have got children before they got married, others are domestic workers while others are underemployed.


These girls are aged between 14 and 24 years from poor backgrounds that are more brilliants and want to join existing Vocational Training Centers in Networking, Multimedia and Software.


We are now coming to you to seek your donation of any amount. We need to raise  $124,200 USD. These funds will cover fees for vocational training per 1 year, school materials and basic living conditions of selected 200 young ladies. The following is the break down for fees for vocational training per trainee per year.

Type of fees	Cost(USD)/trainee/12months
Registration fee	$14
ID Card	$3
Tuition fee	$300
Insurance for accident	$2
Overalls	$15
Caution money	$15
Medical insurance	$5
Total	$354

The program will start with March 2015. In addition to the vocational skills, young ladies will gain hand-on-skills and the Startoday Ltd will provide them with coaching and networking opportunity when at school and after graduation.

Join us in this campaign. Help us meet the target and to spread out this campaign! We do love to partner with you. Support and/or invite others to know and contribute to the success of this initiative. Share this campaign to your network.

A DAY YOU WON'T FORGET

“Good times are a reminder and a reward for dealing with the difficult and challenging times we all go through. The trick is to celebrate the good times in advance of the difficult times. Always remember, good times await you after the difficult times pass….” - James A. Murphy

The 7th August, a baby boy was born. What a great joy in the family! Three years later, look at the Kid smiling, moving, speaking.... It is amazing! At school age, observe how the Kid socializes!  Now, let us consider the quote from C.JoyBell C. : ''I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.” Doing things on your own give you strengthen to learn, to meet and overcome challenges; to mature and to nurture your curiosity and become more responsible and independent in making decision and acting.

In my teenage, I thought that all I want out of life was : '' Be happy, rich and powerful '', now as I grow up, I realize that nothing is more important than being happy! Be happy and Live happy and Spread happiness! This is the golden rule: Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. - Groucho Marx 

Now the day I am talking about was come, it is a great day, hard to forget! Can you imagined what happened? Wait a little bit I wanna tell you. It was not in Winter nor in Summer! The wind was blowing! What a fantastic day! The day I am talking about is when I discovered that the best feeling in the world is realizing that you're perfectly happy without the thing you thought you needed.

Enjoy Marry Chrismas and Happy New Year 2014 with only $100 !

 '' Do you have enough money to celebrate the coming season? Are you planning to get bank loans to finance your great moments? I have good news for you! All you need is less than $100 USD! Celebrate wisely by spending less and being with your family and closer friends.'' STL Team

Many years ago, I used to wait impatiently for the coming of Noel and ''Bonne Annee''. Now, as I am in my thirties, I try to see things differently. By spending your time reading the following observations, you learn how you can save your money from the coming season.! Producers and Sellers are waiting for your money! Let us examine the reasons you shouldn't spend much money this season:

1. Happiness: Many people will tell you that for you to be happy you must have money- a lot of money indeed! The reason is that with it you can buy different goods and services of your choice. More importantly, when you have money you feel stable, safe and secured. To be specific let me tell you that if your joy, peace, happiness, integrity, security depends merely on your wealth, you will inevitably be in trouble because needs are unlimited while means are scare. My advice to you is that you just be happy regardless of your limitations. Your happiness is not in many bottles of bear or wine you will open; it is not in the number of ladies you will sleep with,......   Your joy is in the way you appreciate yourself, understand your emotions and the way you make choices. Learn to do what you love, to be with those are important to you and to spend less.

2. Friendship: Life is meaningful if you are with good people. People you can trust, you can open your mind and heart. However, nothing is more destructive than a poor friend that manipulate you, mislead you, and often profit from you. I don't need to illustrate this because you understand what I mean. My advice is to be wise when choosing friends and companion. Now as we are approaching the great moment, you will receive invitations and certainly you have plans. Know where you spend most of your time and money!

3. Family: Your family is what should come first! The family is the center of everything. Celebrate this seasons with your family. What they need is not money or anything related to it. All your family needs is you. To remember the past, the journey made so far. I know the past is not sweet! But it is a must do_ Tell your kids where you are coming from, what was your greatest challenges and success. Examine together your situation and make plans together and decide on the new year resolutions together! How much do you think this can cost you?

Notice: Remember that after this season, the life continues: The family to look after, the children to take to school, the debt to pay, the project to run among other! Be unique and live differently.
