  • Today we explore diplomatic missions. These are represented by an Embassy, a High Commission or a Consulate Let's play:Did you know..... 1: The difference between a High Commission and an Embassy is that Embassies are diplomatic missions sent to Non-Commonwealth countries by Commonwealth countries, while High Commissions are diplomatic missions sent to Commonwealth countries by fellow commonwealth countries. 2: The first role of a diplomatic mission is to represent and take care of its citizens. 3: It is not compulsory but highly recommended, for you to register with your respective diplomatic mission while in a foreign land/country 4:The head  of an Embassy is called an Ambassador while the head of a High Commission is called a High Commissioner. 5: Diplomatic missions are a one stop shop on their respective country. They have diplomacy departments for tourism, economic, Diaspora, Education, health among others. 6: You can visit your respective diplomatic mission , for Free, without an appointment, without knowing anyone or email and/or call. My first visit to a Kenyan diplomatic mission is the Kenya High Commission, Namibia and I am grateful for the warm reception and insight they shared. The contacts for the Kenya High Commission in Namibia is, Tel:+26061226836,+260 61225900 or email windhoek@mfa.go.ke For more on this check out link in bio:
  • 1)Have you ever heard of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) These are 17 goals that were developed by the United Nations @unitednations as part of their Transforming our World:2030 Agenda for sustainable Development . The member countries are implementing them and You to, can select and adapt those you wish to 2: United Nations office in Nairobi @unitednations are actively involved in reduction of waste and clean energy. Their new building runs only on solar energy. 3: Book a tour with the UN Visitor Service http://visitors.unon.org/content/visit-us-take-tour to also get a chance to go on a guided tour, explore the @unkenya and learn about the United Nations and the United Nations office in Nairobi.
  • Some key learnings from my guided tour at the United Nations office at Nairobi 1: The United Nations is made up of 193 member states Each country flag is hoisted at the compound 2:They are guided by a Charter, which acts as their constitution 3: Their Key pillars are a) Peace and security b) Human Rights c) Development 4:The United Nations office at Nairobi was initially housed at KICC 5: The Head Qaurters of the United Nations are in New York-USA, while its regional headquarters are found in Viena-Austria, Geneva-Switzerland and Nairobi-Kenya. 6: There are 17territories yet to attain independence -This is still a shocker. More needs to be done For more:Check out link in bio and http://visitors.unon.org
  • Have you ever wanted to learn about the United Nations but didn't know where to start? Did you ever believe like me before, that the @unitednations was for "those people", "a secret" society? Have you ever heard of UN tours? Well, I recently learnt that the United Nations has a Visitor Service office that offers guided tours to the general public, in all the four Head Quarter Offices. This office provides all the information you need to know about the United Nations. I got to enjoy a guided tour at the United Nations office at Nairobi and will be sharing "UN tours Exposed" ...

  • Manila is the capital city of Philippines. I had such an amazing time and believe the below to be Must do activities in Manila. 1/2: Attend a Celebration -I attended the Great Marian Procession which is a Catholic Ceremony. This ceremony brings people from all over Philippines who showcase their culture in all manner from dressing, dances, music and artefacts. I highly recommend this to everyone, even if you are not religious. However, respect the event as it is a religious event. 3: Learn to dance Samba :-) :-) We went out and the place we visited was offering free salsa and Samba dance lessons..It was so much fun, I left feeling like a dancing queen, the Samba queen :-) 4: You have not been to The Philippines if you have not ridden in a Jeepney. These are the more popular means of transport and are quite the ride. 5/6: You must explore Intramuros, which is a historical town. This is a town with fortified walls, colourful buildings and lots of culture and history to see, learn and experience. 7: Resort World- It is a luxury resort with lots of shops, interesting stuff to see and is free to visit :-). I especially likedd it as it allowed me to be "Cinderella" for a while :-) 8: Make lots and lots of friends, all types of friends- They enrich your experience :-) For more check link in bio :-)
  • A)The Philippines is an archipelago which means it is made up of several groups of islands, about 7641. B):The largest Island is Bohol and below are some of my memories of it 1/2 Meet Tarsier, the smallest primate in the world. -They are terrified of enclosures and have the highest rate of suicide if they get anxious or are put in enclosures. -They are also able to turn their head 180degrees without moving their body. 3/4 Bohol is an Island and it has beautiful white sandy beaches. I explored the Aloha Beach..:-) 5 The food..being an Island, their main delicacy is fishing and just look at that colourful platter on display..I almost didn't want to eat lest I mess up the colour scheme 6: Chocolate Hills.Ladies, before you rush out to honest them, these are mounds of hills which during hot weather turn all Brown. They then seem similar to mounds of Brown chocolate 7: This area also exposed me to the sad, harsh effect of an earthquake. This area had just been hit by an earthquake and most places were in total ruin. These are the remains of Dauis Catholic Church which had been built in 1774. 8: Transportaion is available but I opted to move around in most areas on motorbike. This allowed me to see more, explore more and engage more within a limited time. My "driver" was such a nice pleasant man. 9: Make as many friends as possible with the locals, they enrich the experience. Maayong Buntag-Good Morning Maayong Buntag Pun -response to above
