Sara Shauri said, “I feel so so good but still so fearful about the world outside but happy about being free and to start a new life” While Sarah feels like she’s on the top of the world Jackline Kaningwa said, “I feel normal and later on added “so happy because I’ll be thrashing away uniforms.” While everyone seemed to be replying the same thing, Faith Lauwo revealed that this place was not an appropriate place for her. “I can’t wait to graduate. I thank God because I think it’s a miracle because Form Six dorm becomes a second hand “Memorial market” Memorial “second hand market”. BY OUR CORESPONDENT T o anyone who is an inhabitant of Moshi municipality must very much be aware of the King George Memorial Market at Soweto where the second hand clothes and other cheaper staffs are sold in there. From Friday February 17, 2012 when the former form six were preparing to leave, their dorm turned into just that, “Memorial market”. Students, names withheld, varying from young Form ones to the older Form five were seen there sorting out what is worth taking. People who were interested in some “products” had an opportunity to take all they thought they could use. On Saturday, after graduation some students were seen taking things like cups through the windows since the dorm was locked. Tools like sticks were used through the window to pick up smaller things they could pick. On their move away from the dorm, former form six threw away The exercise continued until the Headmistress managed to catch properties such as school unisome students right-handed forms, sweaters, shamba dresses, (names withheld at least for now). sandals, slippers, used t-shirts, khangas, soap dishes, bathing tins According to the public notice and everything beyond imaginamade by the Headmistress, she tion. was very disappointed because the To the surprise, to some students ones who did that were the ones she never expected to be get to this became a blessing, much that stage of “relocate” Memorial more, a place to obtain the used products just like the King George grounds to former form six dor- I’ve been waiting to go to the appropriate place where I belong and where I should be” Literally means if somebody had to open up her heart she would find happiness.

Graduation hilarious diary HUMOUR By Hellen Mshana BY JACQUELINE MUNISHI A sister and a brother were into a fight where as their father appeared and solved to his wideness letting everyone to go to owns room. After few minutes the brother went to his sister’s door and knocked, “are you awake?” The sister replied, “am not telling you!” Vice President was visited by her father at 5PM while other parents were quitting for home! A tell of “nail cutter” at St. Agnes Much hungry seven first to eat girls (lead by Sara Kihomwe) decided to get to the Parents’ buffet no. 20 because, as they claimed, it was raining and they couldn’t wait to get into their class buffet. Deputy Minister for projects bet five pieces of chicken meat. She said she didn’t eat such nice meal since January 13, when she got one at Highway Hotel on the way to school. Nancy Simon took three full plates which eventually got her stomachache. Faith Assey and Hellen Materu ate more than one plate claiming that it normal especially during school graduations. Sara Kihomwe washed her spoon by using Fanta Orange. It was on the graduation eve, last Friday when a girl (name preserved) caused a prolonged laughter at St. Agnes upstairs dormitory. The electricity suddenly went off in that night when girls were busy preparing their skirts and other staffs for graduation. All activities suddenly stopped and students started buzzing about everything including the barbers who trimmed them in the afternoon, cooks who were preparing for graduation food and others who were decorating the graduation area. At the middle of these discussions, the generator was started and power was on once again. A student, having realized that power was back, she said, “wow! Nail cutter is on!” followed by a lot of laughers from all dorm members including the moody ones, the ones who were sad The Kibosho Focus 3 LOCAL NEWS FEBRUARY 28— MARCH 13, 2012 >>>FROM PAGE 1 She said that was possible through casual interactions and serious advice she had received from those around her.

But the truth is it isn’t her twin sister. always the case”. She says at most times when her twin sister Hamida (Nkya) underperformed, she would feel sad. In efforts to offer a helping hand, she’d to spend more time for her in elaborating things, efforts which had always made her even more “ The last person can become the first if she observes the rules and discipline.” achieve. “If parents weren’t good in education and don’t value it, only a miracle can make a child become someone else.” Again, Hamisa says that despite having to study hard, students should learn to be risk takers. “If you don’t understand something its Then she adds, “The last better not to waste your person can become the time on it rather you first if she observes the should focus in what rules and discipline.” She also thinks that sometimes it’s the back- you understand and make the most out ground of a person that makes her of it” She adds, “If a question comes from where you have not studied then use general knowledge but make sure you score all the marks from the topic which you really studied” Hamisa concluded by a quote, “The value of education depends on doing what should be done whether you want it or not and that will be your value for life time. Despite being the best, she also reveals that Geography was the most challenging subject and despite having worked hard she feels that it wasn’t the way she would have expected. Do mangoes simply change how we behave? >>>FROM PAGE 1 Most societies believe that rainy season is a blessing. And at Kibosho, it looks like rain has more than agricultural advantages. It was not clear whether this daring act was a result of hunger or students determination to obtain “free mangoes”. Speaking to the student who was on the scene, The Kibosho Focus found that running through the rain was to ensure that people secure a reasonable amount In the absence of famous mango seller, Erasto, who is no where to be seen for at of mangoes. least two weeks now, people have not stopped eating mangoes for all this time. Answering the question whether she doesn’t fear getting sick, a wet student The question is, where do these manwhose name is withheld said, “students goes come from? never get sick because of hustling!” When asked if hustling means walking The matter braised on cloudy Monday through the rain, she said, “It’s because I last week, when it heavily rained soon was picking up mangoes” after the second shift got out of the dining hall. Couldn’t she wait until the rain stops? Se responded, “what if someone could The rain became a blessing to the come before me to pick them. By the “opportunitists” who took advantage of the rainfall to pick up the fallen mangoes way I should go and finish picking them after the hard blowing rain at the mango up before other people come” trees behind the assembly hall. On the other raining day last week, people were seen running carelessly Seeing that it was raining, students were during class hours through the rain. running to their respective classrooms to It was later found that they asked perprotect themselves from getting wet. mission from their lesson teachers to However, there were some students who powder their noses while the truth was they were “making the most of their were running through the rain for the time” only to come back with mangoes. aim of picking up mangoes since the wind was blowing strongly. Mangoes “stolen” from teacher’s com- pound Sara Kihomwe in rotten mangoes On the evening after preparations, some girls went to Mr. Marenga’s residence to “steal” the assembled mangoes at his parking area. Good number of students took their “raskets” and large sized plastic bags to fill in ripen, unripe and rotten mangoes in them without the permission of the Timetable Master. It was later known that he wanted to distribute these mangoes to students. The paper was told that some students who were highly in need of fruits found out that there were mangoes collected at the mentioned parking area and conveyed the information to others. In the mean time, Sara Kihomwe, a famous pink girl (form Four), was spotted this week eating rotten mangoes with vividly seen maggots “on their stage dancing” on the mango surface. Amusingly she looked normal and claimed the mango was wonderful and interesting. Speaking with the reporter, Sara said, “you know we are students. I am pretty sure that even God considers about this…I wont be ill, after all if they have picked up all the mangoes, what do they expect me to eat?” Biologically, rotten mangoes are likely to cause stomach problems no matter They were these students who eventually which area we’re in. made a careful move to the area to have It couldn’t be established later whether Sara suffered stomach poisoning, but “their mangoes”. scientifically it’s possible that she had related problems. Having heard the tip topped and what was happening, Mr Marenga was heard Reported by Bahati Msuya with addito shout “Hey, you!” and the laughing students moved totting as fast as possible tional report by Hellen Mshana to disappear in the darkness. On the next day the matter was made public by the second master who warned those involved in the scene. The Kibosho Focus 4 OPINION FEBRUARY 28— MARCH 13, 2012 The Kibosho Focus E-Mail: editor.focus@gmail.com Punctuality is a key to your success As a student who wants to succeed, using your time wisely is worthy it. Being where you have to be on time. Doing what you are required to do at the right time. This is what they call punctuality. It all starts in morning. Wake up early at your will. This is healthy. Go for morning prayers to begin your day with Divine help. Do your cleanliness assignment. No one will have to “disturb” your concentration once you’re in the classroom. Being punctual means you don’t get out of class simply because you feel like going out. Classrooms need your attention. Going out for short call deprives you of the very things your teacher delivers. Staying in your classroom throughout the teaching, is academically healthy. Then, comes the time of punctual use of our breaks: why cant we go for Dinning at the right time? Why should we wait for someone to punish us simply because we delayed? Is this worthy it? Does it suggest seriousness? Our guess is no. Why should someone have to go for short call fifteen minutes after the break? Cant we control our attendance down there? Because, we think, call of nature is the attitude of your mind. You can control when to go, and when to stop! That’s why when we travel we can manage to stay in the bus for several hours with our “call of nature” controlled. If we realize how many hours we waste by running here and there at the time were supposed to concentrate, we can deliberately change. Lets remember that time wasted, is time gone. There’s no way it can be restored. Lets be punctual. Lets keep our daily routine without someone force or constant reminding. __________________________________________ A PUBLICATION OF THE KIBOSHO HOUSE OF TALENT ANONYMOUS: Managing Editor DORIS MAFURU: Publication Editor NORMANS NKINDA: Consultant and Photographer HELLEN MATERU: Marketing and Distribution CALISTER BENNO: Publicity TECLA MOSHA: Treasurer REPORTERS: Bahati Msuya Hellen Mshana Mandy Charamba Stella Kimambo Winfrida Lema Copyright © 2012 Kibosho Girls’ Secondary School.

My country, my leaders, does the word “satisfied” exist in your dictionaries? Don’t you get enough? You received a country which was not much in ruins sence the country was returned in a peaceful way. But this same country today is drowning in an unimaginable rate of poverty. This country which is praised for having natural resources today 70% of its dwellers can not afford a full day meal! Where has the wealth gone to? Who is enjoying on our situation? Have you allowed the whites to have the last laugh for the second time? If so, then who is the puppet this time around? My dear leaders you stay in the parliament. The only thing you can fight for is your welfare!? You don’t give a damn about who elected you. Every single day you are arguing about being added your allowances. How much do you earn for a month? Try imagining yourselves surviving with one meal per day (the truth to most of us). Do you really dare to say your salaries are not enough? You turn and point at everything say it has gone wrong but in reality its you. My leaders, you have taken the wrong step towards leadership. If you cant control yourselves and your ambitions, who else can? On this corner we will be raising different issues especially critics so as to make students aware of the world be waited them after school life. Stay tune for more to come. You can react to the article by sending us you opinion. -Editor LETTERS TO EDITOR Dining Hall complaints Every one attends the Dining Hall everyday. It’s the important place in school. But this same Dining Hall has become a “torture” to students. Even some students take their food and eat outside (on the veranda or under the trees) despite knowing the fact that they will be punished later. We have complained and complained about its condition but nothing has been done. The truth is the Dining Hall is too hot especially in the afternoon due to heated iron sheet, lack of windows and having the kitchen on the other side which causes very hot atmosphere when walls get too heated. The Dining Hall becomes almost airless. This is unhealthy to students. We have always suggested that windows should be added and the roof should have the ceiling board. Now that some of us suffer the breathing problems, it shall be fair for authorities to deal with the matter. ——Concerned student The Kibosho Focus FEBRUARY 28— MARCH 13, 2012 5 SOCIAL MEDIA/OPINION You can, if you tell yourself you can One day I was walking in town then this idea came in my mind, “Whatever my mind conceive and my heart believe, I can surely achieve!” Nice thought, isn’t it?

Immensely educated and challenged. Shocked but inspired. Here are some chapters from one of his books; "The Plundered Planet: Why We Must and How We Can Manage Nature for Global Prosperity" (Feb, 28) -Wondering who tweets. Aren t you guys on twitter? If you re on twitter, let us know We have got to believe in ourselves and tell ourselves we can and surely we can. There’s an adage which says, “You can succeed in life even if no body believes in you! And you can not succeed if you do not believe in yourself. The funny thing is that if you believe you are a looser, you will walk, talk and act like a looser. If you believe you are talented, you will walk, talk and act like talented. Deep down each of us is a sleeping giant waiting to be woken up. But the giant in you will not wake up, until you believe in yourself. But then I know each of us has failed in this or that. But that doesn’t mean that we are failures. I know you and I have lost in this or that but it doesn’t mean that we are losers. When we fail, we have to try again and again. We should not be discouraged of course challenges are many along the way but if we are optimists, we will succeed in our plans. By the way if we think we can, we are right and if we think we can not, we are right also. Believe that you can and you will see wonders in your life. —— Glory Gilbert Dissatisfactions are not caused by the absence of things but the absence of proper visions. Most of the young people today claim to have “a dream”. You will hear them say, “ I had a dream but its no longer there”. It looks like we just want things go very smoothly. There are a lot of questions and demands in the future but very few answers for them. Trust me, If we could have wings, we could all fly. money is not an issue but where to spend becomes an issue. There are so ugly women, there’re women who do not know that they are beautiful. A woman is what she makes herself. Some say it hard to look flying all the time but for a real woman it’s a habit. Nobody can make a woman answer questions she doesn’t want to and nobody can force her give a reason for not doing it. Since she has her own values and rules that help her be what she is. A real woman knows her worth. She does everything with elegance. She knows how to make anyone dance her tune. She always stays independent and free. She knows what to have it. A real woman is confident. A real woman says, “No Jesus, No swagger” Hope you’re a real woman today, tomorrow and in the whole future. We, women run the world! ——Jacque Willy Manumbu What is life? What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story and the greatest good is little enough. Foe life is a dream and dreams themselves are only dreams. When I was young, I woke up every morning with a frown because I never understood the reason of my being. But now I know that life is a gift only that some of us open the package sooner. You know what? Life is all about giving and sharing love to people. But again you can never offer anything to anyone if you cant give love to yourself. Sometimes knowing someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distance or thoughts expressed that can make life a garden. Life is so short and too much of a luxury to be wasted on pretense. So make the most out of it and stop worrying over what other people are thinking about you because they are too busy worrying over what you think about them. —- Bahati and Janeth Fows No one is best like a mother A mother is someone so special who knows a song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you The thoughts above prompt me to say have forgotten the words. A mother is so loving, “dissatisfactions and discouragement are not caused caring, the one who is always there. All these make by the absence of things but the absence of proper her adorable. She is soft hearted, who listens and visions. Remember your smile can still shine all understands and stays with you in whatever situadays if it rains but things won’t always go your way. tion you are going through. We should believe ourselves first, no body can believe you without you believing in yourself. Look here, Bob Marley the late King of Raggae believed in himself and hence achieved an international stardom. Never and ever compare yourself with another person. You’re who you are and no body is like you. Come on dear sisters and brothers, we can make it! —— By Diana Lesika and G. Msuya Who is a real woman? Money is never a big deal. She got it, she flaunts it. She runs out of it, for a real woman not having She adds a touch of joy and happiness to everything when she is around. Always there to bring your smile back whenever its gone or perishes. She is the one who can shine your heart like the sun and brightens your life like the moon and stars.

A mother can show you what the true love is. Mother is always the best and with this, I guess all love our mothers dearly and adore them since they deserve that and even much more.

But the truth is even the skinned people may also face the problem. If you have pimples, understand that it’s advised to puncture any of them on the face as it may open more pores on the face. The trouble is, when the pores are open, it becomes easy for dirt material and bacteria to enter into your skin and more pimples may erupt.

Mushi NOTICED BROKEN ENGLISH ——-Beatrice Temba • Wash your face with a lot of water and then using a cleanser; cleanse it so as to remove the dirt and excess oil from your face. This helps to leave the pore open and clean. • Use toner, after cleansing your face the skin pores are left open so you should apply toner which will help you cover the pores on your skin from dust and bacteria. Apply a moisturizing lotion because an oily skin like any other type of skin, looses moisture and remember that the lotion that you will use should be for an oily skin. Sometimes if you see that its expensive to buy this, you are advised to use a lemon or cucumber to cleanse your skin so as to reduce excess oil and sometime you may try the clay mask therapy that removes pimples, acne, scars and excess oil on your face. If you have tried all this and still nothing is working for you, it means that you have got a chronic situation and you are advised to see a dermatologist so you may be cured. Do not use any ointment cream without being advised by a dermatologist.
