Harvard Africa Business Confrence!

Friday February 17^th 2011,

Day 1 of the conference!

This marked the beginning of the 13th annual Harvard Africa Business Conference. Many people from all walks of life converged at Harvard in Cambridge, MA for this most anticipated conference. The events started off with the prospective student day event & prospective students were invited to attend and participate. A case study was presented to prospective students to ponder on and go through with one of the professors at the B. School.

The rest of the wonderful events were scheduled for later at night. We had the registration process, which we capitalized on as an opportunity to mix and mingle with other participants; getting to know each other and building on that social networking.

We also got to experience a great fashion show from great designers. One of the most distinguished designers was Fungisai Mugwagwa, a native Zimbabwean. She put on quite a show with her wonderful designs that are African inspired. She blends in European cuts with some rich fabric from West and Southern Africa. Her designs are simply majesty and they accommodate a diverse group of women and all shapes/sizes. I managed to put a few photos together, hope you will enjoy going through them

Man! I love my brother!

"You know your fellow siblings are boys only when they make you play soccer with them at your back yard and they make you the goal keeper all the time; blocking all the balls that try to pass through the brick goal posts"!

But when all is said and done, I love my two brothers to death. They are a true blessing to me. I thank God for having them in my life, I wouldn't wish for more or less.

Still a wonderful world

No matter...

...how many challenges may come my way, I still believe this is a wonderful world. I am so blessed with some great freinds who make my life so wonderful. I know God's grace brightens my path whereever I go. I thank you Lord for seeing me through my day and all the wonderful people I met. What more would I wish for. Your blessings are sufficient enough. Thank you father.Glory be your name for ever. My journey seems so easy, all because you always walk by my side.I am truly a living testimony. I thank you Lord for all the positive outcomes of today and all the challenges that made me stronger. I am grateful for all the strangers I met who gave me sources of inspiration to realize we can all do good to help one another. We do not need to be billionaires in order to give a hand to a fellow neighbor, we all can extend a hand and make this world a better place.

Narrations of a brother/ son-in-law who loved too much baked beans..

Narrations of a brother/ son-in-law who loved too much baked beans..

One day Gari met a sweet lady Rudo and fell in love with her. He was so in love that he started making plans to marry her. Months passed by and the two were happy. It was now time for Gari’s birthday and Rudo thought there was no other way to celebrate this wonderful day than inviting both her family & Gari’s as well. To spice it up, Rudo decided to make it a surprise! So Rudo called Gari at work & said “Sweetie, instead of us celebrating out, let’s have a nice dinner at my apartment”!...And of cause Gari said yes.

But there was a slight problem, ever since they started dating; Gari never told Rudo his secret addiction for baked beans & boiled eggs (we all know what hard boiled eggs & beans can do to our stomach).

... anywhere, during his lunch time, Gari decided to treat himself with a lot of hard boiled eggs & baked beans until his stomach was fullest. With a good, long 6hours between his lunch & his special dinner with lovely Rudo; Gari thought he would be able to walk off any ill effects of the beans by the time he reached home. He had consumed large portions of both the baked beans and eggs, so he made sure that he released ALL the gas before he made his way to Rudo’s place.

Upon his arrival, Rudo was so excited to see him and exclaimed gloriously;

“Darling, I have a surprise for you, but I need to blind fold you first!”

So Rudo blindfolded him and led him to a chair at the dinner table, but before she removed the blind fold, Rudo’s phone started ringing and she quickly said;

“Honey, I really have to answer this but please DO NOT remove the blind fold or even try to peep through,”…and Gari promised he won’t! Rudo went into the next room where Gari could hear her voice talking.

Gas started building in Gari’s stomach and really wanted to release it, all the beans and boiled eggs he had consumed earlier were still affecting him and the pressure in the stomach was getting unbearable. So while Rudo was still talking on the phone, he seized the opportunity; he shifted his weight to one side of the body and just let everything go. He made that silent one and it smelled like a dead carcass. He quickly took off his blazer and started fanning the room vigorously.

He shifted again, and ripped a few more that smelled more than cooked cabbage; and while keeping his ears to the phone conversation, he kept on fanning the room on the double. When Rudo’s phone conversation was finally over, he was now feeling so relieved and happy, he just made a few more quick fanning then he sat down again. The pleasure he felt was inexpressible, feeling very relieved and pleased with himself, and his face all innocent.

Rudo apologized for taking so long and she asked if he had peeped through the blindfold and he assured her he had not. At that moment, Rudo screamed “surprise…” removing the blindfold, only for Gari to realize all this time he was surrounded by both his family and Rudo’s family.

What a memorable birthday it was for Gari…!
