Pinksteren: paraderen met solidariteit

what we pass through

#crime In the investigative report, the shrewd investigative journalist Purity Mwambia exposed a shocking narrative of how men in uniform hire out fire arms and police uniforms to criminals and gangsters. According to Purity Mwambia, criminals operating in the most dreaded streets of Nairobi and its outskirts gain access to fire arms and police uniforms very cheaply. Purity established how with just Ksh 5,000 a gangster can hire a Ceska Pistol from various police officers in Nairobi. She also unravelled how with Ksh 10,000, one can hire an AK47 without bullets from Administration Police Officers in Nairobi. Still, according to the investigative report compiled by the Citizen TV journalist, one can hire police uniform with just Ksh. 1,000-2,000.

The new "normal"

#gezondheid  Life put us to the test for more than 1 year. It is not environmental pollution that makes us come out with a mask, it is a silent and deadly enemy that devastates the planet and with which we have learned to deal. Although deaths already exceed 3 million. In this new normal, the feeling of freedom, of feeling the breeze on our faces and letting others see our smile, was upset. We had to reinvent ourselves and learn to smile with our eyes, not to be so effusive in the greeting and not to make everything a reason to meet. The vaccines have not yet reached Venezuela to immunize and, at least, I feel that I have another shield against death. Meanwhile, I look at the greatness of nature and look for open and green spaces where my eyes fill with hope and my lungs with air, before thanking God for one more day of life. By the way, wear a mask, wash your hands often, and keep your social distance. That can make a difference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- La nueva "normalidad" La vida nos puso a prueba desde hace ya más de 1 año. No es la contaminación ambiental la que nos hace salir a la calle con un tapabocas, es un enemigo silente y mortal que azota al planeta y con el que hemos aprendido a lidiar. Aunque ya las muertes sobrepasan los 3 millones. En esta nueva normalidad la sensación de libertad, de sentir la brisa en el rostro y que otros vean nuestra sonrisa se trastocó. Nos tocó reinventarnos y aprender a sonreír con la mirada, a no ser tan efusivos en el saludo y a no hacer de todo un motivo para reunirnos. Las vacunas aún no llegan a Venezuela para inmunizar y, por lo menos, sentir que tengo otro escudo ante la muerte. Mientras tanto, miro la grandeza de la naturaleza y busco espacios abiertos y verdes donde mis ojos se llenen de esperanza y mis pulmones de aire, antes de dar gracias Dios por un día más de vida. Por cierto, usa el tapabocas, lava tus manos con frecuencia y mantén la distancia social. Eso puede hacer la diferencia.
