Vitabu vyote vitakatifu vinatufunza tuwe waaminifu na tusithubutu kamwe kuzungumza uongo kwani mambo ya uongo hayadumu. Nadhani ni kwa sababu hii wahenga wakaeleza kuwa njia ya mwongo ni fupi. Mzee siambiwi alitanabahi kuwa uongo haufai baada ya kuona mambo yamemzonga kama chafu anavyomzonga mbuzi.

Kijiji cha Maganya kiliangukiwa na nyota ya jaha kubwa baada ya wafadhili kujenga chuo cha mafunzo ya watoto yatima na shule. Kila mtu aliyekuwa na watoto yatima alitakiwa kwenda kuwasajili chuoni. Hapo wangesomeshwa mafunzo ya kawaida pamoja na kufunzwa taaluma za ufundi wa kila fani. Kulikuwa na kazi za uashi. Uhadisi, taaluma ya tarakilishi mingoni mwa kazi nyingine. Nafasi zilikuwa wazi kwa mtoto yeyote nchini muradi awe yatima na kufiwa na mzazi mmoja au wote wawili. Vilevile kulikuwa na sehemu ya walemavu wa aina zote katika chuo hicho. Hawa nao walikuwa na rabiba yao ya masomo kulingana na uwezo waliokuwa nao.

Mzee Siambiwi, aliyekuwa mtu bahili na mwenye kupenda kuyakwepa majukumu yake ya malezi alipiga bango vile angefaidika kwa fursa hiyo. Siku moja asubuhi Siambiwi alimwita mkewe na kumketisha kitako. "Sharti nimpeleke kitindamimba wetu nasari ya yatima." Siambiwi alimwambia mkewe huku macho ameyatoa ungedhani ni ya bundi.

Mkewe alikiona hicho kama kioja kikubwa kwani wote walikuwa hawajakata kamba, isitoshe mumewe alijiweza kifedha. Ubishi mkubwa ulizuka. Mzee Siambiwi alisisitiza kuwa kutompeleka mwanawe . asome hapo bure ni sawa na mtu mpumbavu ambaye huacha jua lichomoze ashindwe kuliota kisha alitafute waka wa jioni.

Majadiliano yakakomea hapo kama sentensi iliyowekwa kikomo. Majonzi hayo yalimchoma sana mama inoyoni hadi akapata maradhi ya shinikizo la damu yaliyompeleka jongomeo, bila nauli wala matwana. Asubuhi ya majogoo Mzee Siambiwi na mkembe wake mikononi alikuwa kwenye lango la nasuri ya yatima. Alipokelewa kwa heshima kubwa na bawabu na kuelekezwa alikostahili kwenda huko alimwandikisha mtoto kwa mwalimu mkuu kuwa yeye alimwokota njiani na hivyo ni msamaria mwema. Mtoto alipokelewa na kupewa yaya wa watoto wadogo.

Je, umewahi kutafakari kuhusu namna wanafunzi wengi, ukiwemo miongoni mwao, wanavyosafiri kwenda shuleni? Yumkini jibu lako kwa swali hili litadhihirisha kwamba asilimia kubwa hutembea kwenda shuleni, wengine hutumia baiskeli, magari ya umma na ya kibinafsi, pikipiki na gari mosi. Bila shaka aina ya usafiri hutofautiana kulingana na uwezo wa kiuchumi na umbali baina ya mwanafunzi na shule yake.

Kila aina ya usafiri ina changamoto maalum. Mathalani ikiwa umezungumza na wenzako ambao hutembea kwenda shuleni, haikosi wamekueleza dhiki wanazokumbana nazo. Licha ya safari za aina hii kuwachosha wanafunzi, ni wazi kuwa wanafunzi wengine hata hukosa masomo kwa sababu ya kutopitika kwa njia wakati wa mvua nyingi.

Pengine hata wewe umewahi kujipata katika njia panda baada ya daraja unalovukia kusombwa na maji ya mto uliofurika. Isitoshe, watembeao huweza kuathirika kiafya wakati wa kipupwe. Baridi huweza kuwasababishia pumu au hata kichomi. Wengine huwa katika hatari ya kuteleza kwenye njia zenye matope na kuvunjika viungo vya mwili. Hawa pia wamo katika hatari zaidi ya kutekwa nyara na hata kunyanyaswa kimapenzi.

Wanafunzi wengine huwahusudu wale ambao husafiri shuleni, ama kweli gari la sule, au la kibinafsi. Wakiulizwa kuhusu kiini cha husuda hii, wanasema kwamba wenzao hawa hawachoki kwani magari haya yanawachukua kutoka mlangoni mwa nyumba zao. Hata hivyo ukichunguza vyema utapata kwamba hata hawa wana matatizo sugu. Kwa vile magari ya shule huwabeba wanafunzi kutoka sehemu mbalimbali, magari haya hayana budi kuanza safari mapema. Hii huwalazimu wanafunzi nao kuamka alfajiri na mapema ili kuyawahi magari haya. Matokeo ni kwamba wanafunzi wengi hawadiriki kulala usingizi wa kutosha. Kuna wale ambao hulala saa nne usiku baada ya kukamilisha kazi za darasani, kisha wanaraushwa saa kumi ili kijitayarisha basi la sa kumi na moja. Wanafunzi wa aina hii hukumbwa na uchovu, na bila shaka husinzia darasani.
Isitoshe, wanafunzi wanaotumia usafiri wa umma hulalamikia msongamano wa magari ambao unawafanya kukawia njiani, na hata kupewa adhabu kwa kuchelewa kufika shuleni. Wengine hata hukataliwa na magari ya abiria, eti wanalipa fedha kidogo na kuwasababishia wenye magari hasara. Wanafunzi hawa huaibika na kulazimika kutembea hadi shuleni. Hali kadhalika magari ya umma humpa mwanafunzii mazingira ya kujifunzia tabia mzuri na mbaya. Pamoja na wanafunzi hawa hupata fursa ya kutengamana na wenzao kutoka shule nyingine, wao pia huweza kuathiriwa vibaya na hulka za wasafiri wengine. Kuna wale ambao huiga lugha, mitindo ya mavazi, namna ya kutembea na hata mienendo mingine ya madereva na utingo. Wengine huishia kuwa waraibu sugu wa vileo kutokana na vielezo wanavyopata kwenye magari haya. Muziki, picha na video na mazungumzo kupitia vyombo vya habari vilivyo kwenye magari haya huchangia kuzorotesha tabia ya wanafunzi. Hii ni kwa sababu baadhi ya maswala yanayozungumziwa ni ya aibu na hayapaswi kusikilizwa na watu wa umri mbichi.

Nihahiri kwamba kila aina ya usafiri ina athari zake. Hata hivyo, baniani mbaya kiatu chake dawa. Usafiri unaitajika katika kufanikisha masomo ya wanafunzi na katika uchukuzi wa bidhaa na vifaa mbalimbali ambavyo wanahitaji shuleni. Ni jukumu la kila mwanajamii kuhakikisha kwamba mikakati ifaayo imewekwa ili kukinga dhidi ya madhara yanayoandahana na kila aina ya usafiri. Wanafunzi nao wakae ange kutambua watu ambao huenda wakatosa katika maovu. Wachujo ya kuiga na ya kukataa.

Population control has become a burning issue in developing countries. Most countries realise that if they became overpopulated, the consequences will be grave. In Kenya, the government, the church and individuals have always stressed the need to have a population that we can easily manage.

This is because the negative effects of overpopulation are far reaching. If there is there is overpopulation, there will not be enough land, for people to cultivate. They will therefore start cultivat- ing the marginal lands and this could lead to the spread of deserts.

Lack of enough land for farming will also lead to shortage of food, resulting in starvation and illness like marasmus and kwashiorkor.

In addition, scarcity of land may force people to move from rural urban areas in search of alterna- tive means of earning a living. With these migrations, towns become so overcrowded that people are forced to live in slums. When they fail to get jobs, they become frustrated and some may turn to crime.

Moreover a country with high population finds it diftcult to cope with the health problems of its people. The medical facilities will not be adequate. This means that the sick will not be attended to in time, infant mortality will be high and life expectancy will be low.

Besides, a family with many children finds it difficult to feed, clothe and educate them.
