Robin Hood : Friendship And The Joy of Giving.

Many people have given me the chance to be in the right place and other people have always extended a hand to get me fulfill my passions and talents. Even where there has no been no means to an end, the vision has always shone bright. Today as I was seated at the Maranatha picnic. I realised that I may have bad eyesight but i still feel that my vision is perfect. And then it hit me, looking by and seeing my friends: the ones that have been with me, the ones that have helped me and the ones that I've helped, learning to trust and moving forward to achieve dreams. 


suddenly a quote from a Madea movie came into play.

"Some people come into your life for a lifetime and some come for a season. You have to know which is which. I put everybody that comes into my life in the category of a tree. Some people are leaves on a tree. The wind blows, they go to the left. The wind blows from the other way, they go to the right. They are just unstable. You can't count on them for nothing. All they ever do is take from that tree. What you need to understand about a leaf is that it has a season. It'll wither and die and blow away.There ain't no need to be praying over a leaf to be resurrected. When it's dead it's gone. Let it go! Some people are like that. All the leaf ever does is cool you off every now and then. If you're grown, you know what I'm talking about, because you can call them in the middle of the night and get cooled off. That's the leaf people. They come to take. Then there are people like a branch. You got to be careful with branch people. They come in all different shapes and sizes. You never know how strong they will be in your life. So my advice is to tip out on it slowly. When you're going out on a limb, don't put too much weight on it at once, because it can fall and leave you high and dry. Sometimes, you have to wait for a branch to grow up before it can hold all of the things you want to share with it. Finally, there are people who are like roots at the bottom of the tree. If you find yourself two or three people in your entire lifetime that are like the roots, then you are blessed. The roots don't care nothing about being seen. All they're there to do is hold that tree up, to make sure it stays in the air. It comes from the earth to give that tree everything it needs. That's what relationships should be about. That's what you need, people who want to be in your life for the right reasons. If somebody wants to walk out of your life, you've got to LET THEM GO! When you learn to love yourself, you will end up giving standards to everyone around you. Again, I repeat with emphasis, if they don't meet those standards, you have to let them go, because they might be a leaf. And forgive them with all your might."

I've always wanted to say Thank You to everyone, and I've badly wanted to give back to the community that raised me. Here is my little plea, even the little that you give is going to make a big difference in someone's life. The children are the future of the world and its time we all stepped up and gave them the opportunities that were also given to us. It is our vision at 50strong50wise to see that young children in Sierra Leone both that were affected by the civil war  and those that are underprivileged get an education. Your help is much appreciated.


THE BIG HOPE OF GIVING BACK.
