Our mental Blindness
The world that you and I grew up in prevents the African mind from growing the attitudes that are critical to development. The absence of these attitudes in the African mind-set denied you, me and the rest of the Africans the right thinking for the country’s development. The absence of this right thinking rendered us mentally blind with regard to our country’s development.
Its Impact
Since it is not possible to correct the mental blindness we suffer from, which is described above, we end up failing one generation after another, and in one country after another, to move our societies out of poverty and underdevelopment. The only way out is to prevent the upcoming generations from becoming mentally blind, i.e. what this education intervention is about.

Book 1
Dr Kip began the day’s learning session by asking Ariko’s children whether they knew God.
“Obviously, we know God,” Clare replied and the rest nodded in agreement.
“What separates humans from God?” Dr Kip asked another equally puzzling question.
“Can you compare the two?” Rita sounded surprised.
“I’m asking about the difference,” Dr Kip insisted.
“God is Spirit, and He is all-loving,” Rita answered; her siblings shared other views about God and he thanked them for the impressive responses.
“In my view,” Dr Kip said thoughtfully, “the fundamental difference between human beings and God lies in the way Mother Nature responds to each of them. God just talks and wow!, Mother Nature listens and acts as told. But this is not the case with human beings! Mother Nature does not obey them on simply hearing their words! She listens and obeys them through science………”

Book 2
“The admission into university had turned Richard into a hero in the home; his aunt practically adored him. He had set an example that she wanted all her children to emulate, namely studying up to university. To be fair, this was a dream of nearly every parent in the area; having a child at university elevated the family status. It was of little surprise therefore that the stubbornness of Eric, Ariko’s first child, ended up causing a lot of uneasiness in the family.……..”

Book 3
At 8.45 a.m., Mr Mvui led Ariko’s children into the learning room. After exchanging greetings, he began the session by observing, “Your country, like others elsewhere on the continent, is aggressively embracing information and communication technology (ICT).”
“African countries,” he continued, “are promoting ICT with the conviction that it will transform their economies. For this to happen, however, the people of this country, and indeed elsewhere in Africa, must seize and make use of the ICT era, instead of the other way around.” Eric murmured something but Mr Mvui didn’t get what he said. When he looked at Rita, however, Mr Mvui saw someone at a loss………….

Book 4
When Mr Mvui arrived in the morning, at 8.45 a.m., the seminar venue was packed to almost full capacity. The students were now on their way into the working world, where jobs were very difficult to come by. Indeed, to most students, thinking in terms of gainful employment was being unreasonable! The best that they hoped for was any kind of job that came their way. But even with this ‘painful’ compromise, hardly anyone was certain of a job; this largely explains the big turnout that greeted Mr Mvui that morning……..
