Mugutangira, Pasteri Marcello yifashishije   amagambo aboneka muri: 1 Ngoma :12:33 ndetse no muri: Hoseya :4:6

Muri aya magambo yose, Pasteri Marcello arasobanurako itorero ariryo ryakagombye  kugira uruhare runini mukubona ibisubizo kubibazo byayobeye abandi ndetse nomugihe kigoye nk’iki ya Covid-19.




Pasteri ati << Nubwo ntari umuganga , ndabasangiza ibyo nzi. Corona virusi yahozeho munyamaswa zimwe nazimwe ariko ntiyagiraga icyo itwara abantu. Covid -19 yo yakozwe n’abantu guhera muri za 2003.>>

Yakomeje avuga kandi ko covid 19 ari imwe muntwaro abo mubihugu by’uburengera zuba bw’isi barimo kugerageza ngo izakoreshwe umunsi bazashakira.  Yongeyeho ko nyuma yogukura abantu imitima nokubatera ubwoba bwinshi, bateguye kuzazana inkingo zizabinjiriza amafaranga menshi.

Ati << Inkingo ni bisinesi (Business) kubantu bakeya bohejuru nkuko hariho n’abadashaka ko intambara zishira muri Africa kuko nazo ni business, bakaba bazungukiramo amafaranga menshi nkuko byagenze kuri Ebola !

Ati<< mugihe abaturage basanzwe bariho bavuga ngo icyorezo, intambara n’ibindi, nyamara inganda zikomeye zo ziba zivuga business!

Ati Banyafurika, nimusobanukirweko coronavirusi  atari amadayimoni! Ahubwo ni igikorwa cy’abahanga  babi. Ati ntimwibuka se uko Hitireri yifashishije abahanga nkabo akamara abayahudi akoresheje amagaze?

Ati icyakora simbabuza gukingirwa kuko ntaho byanditse muri Bibiriya ariko buri wese akwiriye kuzamura imyumvire no gushyira mugaciro akamenya ibyo asengera ndetse mukamenyako hari imiryango mike yewe  iri no hejuru y’abaperezide iyoboye isi!!

Pasiteri Ati inyuma y’ iki cyorezo hari ubwoba bwinshi ndetse no muba kristo; ati ariko Bibiliya itubwirako umukristo atarakwiriye kugira ubwoba kuko hari uburinzi bw’Imana (Zabuli 91,1-8) uretseko nogupfa kumukristo ari inyungu kuko aba agiye kureba Yesu, ariko atanapfa bikamubera byiza kuko akomeza gukorera Imana.

Pasteri Marcello ariko akaba avugako nubwo Imana isezeranya abantu kubarinda, bakwiriye no guha agaciro ingamba zishyirwaho n’ubuyobozi zo kwirinda covd-19. Kuko tudakwiriye kugerageza Imana kuko na Yezu/Yesu yajyaga ahunga urupfu igihe cyose bashakiye kumwica kandi igihe cye abona kitari cyagera.




Yakomeje abwira abantu ko badakwiriye guhagarika imitima bitewe n’ibyo babona biteye ubwoba  nk’intambara, indwara z’ibyorezo na covid -19 irimo, kuko bigomba kubaho nk’ibimenyetso by’iminsi yanyuma (Luka 21: 9-11) nubwo hari abahakana ko imperuka izabaho!

Ati mubihe byanyuma, hazabaho ibyorezo bivuye  mubinyabuzima ariko hanabeho n’ibikozwe n’umuntu ngo yice undi cyangwa igihugu ngo gisenye ikindi. Yanongeyeho ko mubihe byanyuma hazabaho gukunda ubutunzi bikabije kugezaho abantu bamwe bazakora indwara cyangwa bagateza intambara zitarangira kugirango bibere abaherwe (Yatanze urugero kuntambara zitarangira zo muri Congo kandi hari ingabo nyinshi zishinzwe kugarura amahoro).

Global Climate Forum 2020 for College and University Students worldwide: (Deadline 30 September 2020)

Global Climate Forum 2020 for College and University Students worldwide: (Deadline 30 September 2020)

Applications are invited for the Global Climate Forum 2020. The Global University Climate Forum brings student activists together to share ideas, learn, connect, and act on the global imperative of addressing climate change.




Multidisciplinary teams of students at all levels from all parts of the world are invited to submit their ideas for climate action projects. Selected teams will be invited to participate in a series of workshops during the week of November 9, 2020. After the workshops, students will execute their ideas and report on progress. Successfully completed projects will be included in a publication to be issued during the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Glasgow, Scotland.




Program Tracks

Student teams (suggested size 2 – 5) will have four tracks for enrollment:

  • Track 1: Inspiration and Empowerment: Develop a creative approach to raising awareness on climate change and influencing others using tactics such as video, art, writing, or social media.
  • Track 2: Ideas into Action: Propose a student-led climate-related project on campus or in the community that will affect measurable change over the course of six months, after the workshop has taken place.
  • Track 3: Governance and Policy Innovation: Select a local, national, or global climate policy or governance mechanism and conduct an analysis either on how it can be improved or how your college or university can contribute to its implementation (remember – the idea MUST be actionable).
  • Track 4: Innovation and Imagination: If none of the three defined tracks suits your project, please blaze your own path. Ideas in this category can be revolutionary, entrepreneurial, and creative. However, they must be actionable and should be designed to yield measurable results over the course of six months. Also remember that all projects must have a university-affiliated sponsor.




Eligibility

  • The 2020 Global University Climate Forum is open to teams of students at any level of higher education.
  • The suggested team size is 2 to 5, and multidisciplinarity is encouraged.
  • Proposals may reflect ongoing projects and activities so long as they are the intellectual capital of the students applying and there is a projected measurable outcome during the duration of the Forum implementation period. New projects and ongoing projects will be subject to feedback from reviewers.
  • Student teams must identify an advisor from their Higher Education Institution (HEI). This can be a faculty member or an administrative staff member, but an official form will require the active involvement of that individual. Alumni mentors are also encouraged.

Participation will require three phases:

  • Proposal development: these must be submitted through the official form, and may require refinement based on reviewer feedback.
  • Workshop attendance: each member of the team must attend at last three online sessions during the week of 9 November. Team members can attend different workshops, and there is no limit to the number of sessions a student can attend.
  • Project Execution: teams will have 6 months to implement and test their ideas. During this time, they will be required to post monthly updates through the Forum’s website.




Application

The deadline for application is September 30, 2020. Selected teams will be announced by October 15, 2020. The workshops will take place between November 9 and 13. Monthly reporting will start in December 2020. Final reports will be due by May 15, 2021.

Design Director at Spark Microgrants: Deadline:28th September, 2020

ABOUT SPARK MICROGRANTS




Spark MicroGrants believes in a world where everyone lives with dignity and determines their own positive future. Decades of prescriptive aid have sidelined the poor from the very programs meant to uplift them. For nearly a decade, Spark MicroGrants has been pioneering a new approach to international aid. We believe in local solutions and catalyzing rural villages facing poverty into action. After years of refining a community organizing and seed funding model for rural village action, we are garnering demand from emerging nations and leading civil society organizations to train and support them to adapt and deploy the approach at scale.

At the heart of Spark’s model, the Facilitated Collective Action Process (FCAP), are ‘town-hall’ style weekly meetings, in which women and men, young and old, plan together for their community’s future. Each village democratically elects a leadership committee, establishes a village savings account, and launches a project of their choice. Members receive training on financial management and transparency, leadership, village planning, and advocacy. Each village then receives US$8,000 in seed funds to turn project ideas into reality and receives additional management support.




In our first decade, we reached 320+ villages who each launch their own local impact projects, benefiting over 230,000 lives. In the next three years, we seek to accelerate the growth of this approach, through establishing a national program to reach 12,000 villages in Rwanda, lead cutting edge research on the benefits of facilitation and curate a global community of practice for organizations across the continent and beyond actively using the FCAP.

As a team, we share a set of common values that shape ‘how’ we work. These are:

  1. Facilitators. We don’t impose; we enable others to generate impact.
  2. Community-driven. We are motivated by what is best for the community.
  3. Process-centered. The how of what we do is just as important as the what.
  4. Authentic. Our vision and values live in everything we do.
  5. Dynamic. We seek opportunities and are willing to take risks to serve our community partners better.




ABOUT THE ROLE

As Spark continues its journey to becoming a trusted partner, trainer and service provider for governments and civil society groups, we are seeking a Design Director to make us best in class at co-designing the FCAP with our partners and for their context. This includes providing our partners with the design support, training, and tools to learn, integrate, and deploy the FCAP in their regions. Your strategic leadership will guarantee successful replication and adaptation of our model through partners globally and ensure we are continuously learning and improving.

  • Manage, develop and expand a team of 8 or more design staff, including senior and middle managers across the functional areas on FCAP Design, Training Design, Product and ensure all staff have clear responsibility domains, deliverables, growth opportunities, and support to achieve their goal;
  • Proactively reach out to other organizational leaders and the team to establish and strengthen a design culture across Spark and lead team development on best practices for driving co-design processes, training methodology and progressive education models.;
  • Year 1 key focus: Integrate the three existing sub-teams into a cohesive design team with strong performance including recruitment of key roles (e.g. product manager) and development of existing staff.
