The power of technology to keep ourselves sane during this pandemic.

The year had just started well,so well that this pandemic covid 19ruined it for everyone, but how do we handle the situation?, For a long period  it killed me mentally, its normal and I know it not me alone,but how do we come out of the situation sane?

Through the power of technology, I have learnt to heal my self and my community as well,everyday is interesting  through the power of google,You Tube and social media and again thanks to technology that access to internet is easier through our  android phones its just one tap  and for sure your tuned in to the world of exploration and discovery.

But again what we should ask ourselves, what are we exploring? How is it impacting your life and the life of people around you, the people who look up to you? How are you going to cope with this pandemic ?and how are we going to continue with our lives after this pandemic?.

To me my phone has played a key role during this pandemic, it has kept me sane,I have discovered besides seating alone and thinking nothing we can google how to make soaps to give to the needy who can't afford it,we can educate them on this pandemic since some of them don't even know what it is,we can read and learn online for life has taught me everyday is a learning process, we can reach each other through vedio calls just to check if we are all OK,and all that through technology.

Many women all over the world are facing all types of violence, it pains me that some have died in the process and some have killed  trying to defend themselves,most of them have been blamed and many of these women are trying to seek Justice but the courts are closed.what solutions do we have for such women?what can they do when they detect danger?do we have safer places where they can run to?we are all in this let's come up with better solutions to help during such pandemics.

To the parents/guardian's who have been home with their children for a long period time,it is the best time to observe them,talk to them and let them learn through  your phones or computers,but supervision is key for some go beyond learning,remember education is key and all these children need it for a better future.Also try exploring with them activities such as using charcoal in baking when one doesn't have an oven,getting desings from the internet and creating them through DIY,recycling, preserve ng and even learn how to created kitchen gardens by planting in plastic bottles. That will help them grow and keep them from messing up,remember its not time to make them run business or fight with them.

Finally through the power of social media I was able to raise food staff to feed the needy and the old on my 26th birthday(11th may),you can join me on my facebook page (Amonge Brendan is my user name).At first I was scared for I though it was not possible, but the power kept pushing me .what I have learnt is that as human beings we should not limit our selves and technology has made almost everything simpler,we should make good use of it just to better our lives and the lives of others,and thanks to the same technology am here today with you sisters and it's through world pulse that I discovered to raise my voice, know my worth and learnt to do good to others.

Stay home stay safe,sanitize wear masks and remain sane.

Lots of love from Amonge ,Kenya.
