This morning I got very sad when one of the sex-workers I have been helping to get out of the streets called me inform me that I should take it easy in my quest to get her money for rentals because, she went out last night and managed to get some money.
She spoke to me in a very emotional voice, which made me feel that, she was left with no choice. I felt (still now) very bad, it’s like I failed her, though she kept on assuring me that this does not mean that she has gone back on the streets.
I also have another one who is still expecting my help with rentals and you can’t imagine how terrible I feel.
Rentals are one of the biggest challenge in helping sex-workers of the streets because they are too high such that the small business they are helped to start cannot suffice.

It also happens that rentals come at the end of the month when sex business pick up because randy and emotionally unbalanced men have money to pay. So the temptation is high for sex workers to sit back there whilst landlords are pestering them.
I also have the same challenge with my street children whom I have been promising to get a house for some time now. The children are so excited such that they were even offering themselves to go into Mtendere in search of that house.
Unfortunately I have no money yet. Some people have contributed blankets and some money but it is not enough for me to really get started.
These are the challenges I usually have at the end of the month and I apologize for not updating you on a number of issues these past few days.
I know you have been expecting me to tell you about The Post and the campaigns, but I am reoccupied with looking for money. Remember I also have people I work with to research who need to be paid plus rentals. Honestly it is not as easy as you may think.
A number of you have been texting me and sending me information which I have not been able to process due to the fact that I have been mostly offline.

Anyway, I will try to do something on a number of issues to update you while I pray that God help me through some of you to help these people. I have a heavy heart right now that I have not done so much last week.
I am not ashamed to beg because I take myself as a conduit to make a difference in the lives of these people who may not have access to some of you and the rich politicians of our land.
At times I can’t just believe the politicians who pay so much to fly around and put up big and expensive posters and billboards but are never involved in some charity work. If they do, it is for cameras in order to hoodwink voters.

Anyway, God knows who indeed are true leaders and I am sure this elections He (God) will give us a leader who can do something about the kind of people I am talking about here.
I still reiterate the call for some of you to come in and help, let us not just talk politics, we can also do something to make this Country better.
DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE PRESIDENT TO DO GOOD FOR OTHERS. HELP WITH THE LITTLE YOU HAVE.
