Daniel Oyoo Ohawa
My name is Daniel Oyoo Ohawa, currently pursuing a Master’s Degree Programme (HRM) at Kenyatta University. I want to begin by saying that I am a produce of societal benevolence through Bishop James Ochiel Siloam Trust. Mine is not only a story of hope, faith and resilience but above all a story of God’s grace. I say God’s grace because my education journey has been marred with several challenges occasioned by my really humble background, and to imagine that someone was there for me at a time when the vulnerability and the need in my community was even so high, is truly an act of grace.
READ MOREIn retrospect, I see how an act of kindness and sheer benevolence can make a real impact to the life of an individual, that of a family, a village, a nation and indeed the society at large. Today I am employed, pursuing my Post Graduate education, fending for our family and sponsoring my younger siblings through their college education and still dreaming and pursuing my other ambitions. These I dare say, would not have been possible if someone did not hold my hand along the way. For this, I am indebted and most grateful to Bishop James.
In my interactions with the vulnerable and the unprivileged, it is evident to me that the need is still so huge and will take several efforts and multi-faceted approach to bridge. And whereas we are seeing a couple of initiatives mostly from corporate and especially on the education front, only a handful of individual and communal initiatives like that of Bishop Ochiel Siloam Trust exist. Such organizations have the unique ability to reach to the communities at the very grass root level where the other initiatives may not be capable of. My appeal to all of us is to reach out, support such and be part of the societal transformational agenda.
I am a practical example of what charity can do and I am blessed to bless!
