Saturday, another reason to stay happy.
By mid-morning the ETCO yard sounds like a market day — pots clanking, someone teasing someone else about taking the bigger portion, an elder settling onto a bench with a cup of tea pressed between wrinkled palms. Saturday is our rhythm: share food with children, a few youth, and grandparents who remember harder years.
Happiness here is not loud music and perfect weather. It is a plate passed without shame, a child’s laugh when they win a game they invented five minutes ago, the relief in a mother’s eyes when lunch is one less problem to solve.
You learn quickly that ugali tastes better when the room is loud — someone arguing about Arsenal, an elder blessing the meal, a teenager pretending not to care until someone offers them an extra spoon of greens. Saturdays remind us that dignity is partly rhythm: a time to be fed, a time to be seen.
If your week felt heavy, come see what a Saturday can be when neighbours eat together. Bring nothing but your presence — or bring beans; either way, you are welcome.
We keep Saturdays sacred because the rest of the week does not promise rest — landlords, odd jobs, sickness, school fees humming in the background. One shared meal will not erase that noise, but it tunes the day to a different key: slower, kinder, more human.

Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
