LET US HONOR SEAFARERS AS THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD

 LET US HONOR SEAFARERS AS THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD




The day of the Seafareris is celebrated each year on June 25. The International Day of the Seafarer has now been officially

added to the United Nations' list of observance.  On this day,

people pay respect to Seafarers and sailors who help the entire world

function by conducting sea transport.This is day

for seafarers of all stripes, from Coast Guards, to Navies, to every fisherman

and marine biologist and cruise ship captain are celebrated. If your job involves a large quantity

of salt water, then this day is dedicated to you. The primary way that people

celebrate International Day of the Seafarer is to thank sailors for their work.

People should share well-wishes for sailors and praise them for their hard

work.  Seafarers are all individuals who are employed, engaged or working onboard a ship and who do not exclusively work on board while the ship is in port.Seafarers are people employed by a shipowner to do ship service on board a ship at sea, i.e. work performed by persons taking part in the ship's operation and maintenance as well as the provisioning of those on board.Seafarers can be persons who perform repair and maintenance work on ships, special ship personnel who have been engaged to work at sea on board a ship as well as cleaning and catering personnel.

Even now, global trade still depends on ocean transport, which is why Seafarers and sailors are essential to the

functioning of the world. Today, over 90% of global trade is done by sea, since

it is still the most cost-effective way to transport goods. Marine biologists

and oceanographers from every country have dedicated their lives to learning

more about the ocean depths, and humans from every walk of life keep going to

the sea to explore the planet. If trade by sea

were limited in some way, or stopped altogether, there is no way that the global

economy would be able to function. In other words, we owe our current ways of

le to those who travel the seas. Not only does trade by sea make up most of

the global economy, but also the oceans themselves take up about 70% of the

planet itself. 

Over 1 million species of plants and animals live in the ocean,

and scientists estimate that there may be up to 9 million species in there that

haven’t been discovered yet. Everything we know about the ocean today, we know

thanks to the tireless work of thousands of oceanographers and marine

biologists who dedicate their lives to the study of those watery depths. Navies

keeping us safe in times of war, and we have Coast Guards to keep us safe from

natural disasters, criminal activity, and environmental deterioration. The

ocean, as important as it is, poses a significant threat to life, and

without those organizations, humans might be in even more dangers.

Seafarers face many dangers as they bring to you and I, ninety percent of what we will use in our daily lives. The threat of piracy and other reasons

sometimes is the reason why seafarers ship may not safely reach port, are

ever-present concerns. In Mombasa there is Mission to Seafarers (MTS) Hotel, through

its many alliances around the world, offers the seafarer a home from home, an

opportunity to communicate with loved ones and rest and relaxation whilst in

port. The Mission to Seafarers ensures the spiritual and physical wellbeing of

seafarers, as well as assisting them with social justice issue. There is

usually Mass Celebrated at the Holy Ghost Catholic Cathedral Mombasa and celebrated by a Bishop who is in

charge of seafarers, then the day ends in celebration at the mission to seamen,Mombasa. 

In Mombasa

we have TVET colleges which should offer certificate in  Nautical science and in Marine engineering and they do not offer courses related to the sea.

These could be certificate courses for being a seaman,

coast guards, Kenya ferry etc.Due to governments restrictions, seafarers are not allowed

to leave ships once they docked at various ports in a bid to contain spread of

coronavirus.  The Kenya government has

rescued some members who had stayed without jobs for a long time. Due to the

existing agreement between the government and the Mediterranean Shipping

Company (MSC), over 500 Kenyan youth have been employed aboard MSC Cruise ships

before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.The government announced formation of

a regulatory body in the shipping industry to protect local seafarers from

exploitation by multi-national company's. Let Multinational Shipping companies stop discriminating Kenyans in terms of

employment opportunities, wages and give them good working conditions.This will enhance Kenya's blue economy and offer more jobs to Kenya's youth.

Methali, Vitendawili, nahau, misemo,

  Kiswahili: Methali, Vitendawili, nahau, misemo, Ada ya mja hunena, mwungwana ni kitendo. It is customary for a slave to talk, but a free man acts. (Mja is only used in this way in this proverb, otherwise it would be - a foreigner) Adhabu ya kaburi, aijua maiti.  The torture of the grave is known only to the dead. (The one who wears the shoes knows where they pinch.One who has personally experienced poverty, need and suffering, knows how difficult life can be.)  Afua ni mbili, kufa na kupona.  Deliverance(from ill luck or disaster) is of two kinds, to die or to get better(live).  Afugaye ng’ombe tume, mwenye maziwa la kujaza. He who keeps a healthy cow will have plenty of milk.(If you are diligent, you will enjoy the fruit of your labour.) Ahadi ni deni. A promise is a debt.(A promise is binding. A trustworthy person keeps his word.)  Aibu ya maiti, aijua mwosha. The real shame of the dead is only known by the Moritician. (No man is a hero to his wife.You get to know the weak aspects

NADHARIA ZINAZOELEZEA CHIMBUKO LA FASIHI SIMULIZI/MASIMULIZI

  NADHARIA ZINAZOELEZEA CHIMBUKO LA FASIHI SIMULIZI/MASIMULIZI Kazi hii tumeigawa katika sehemu tatu, ambazo ni, Utangulizi, katika sehemu hii tutatoa fasili ya nadharia na fasili ya ngano kwa mujibu wa wataalamu mbalimbali. Sehemu ya pili itakuwa ni kiini cha swali ambapo tutajikita kuzielezea nadharia mbalimbali zinazozungumzia asili ya fasihi simulizi/masimulizi kwa mujibu wa Okpewho (1992), Miruka (1994/1999) na Finnegan (1970). Na sehemu  ya mwisho ni hitimisho.   Tukianza na fasili ya Nadharia, Massamba (2009:63) anasema, nadharia ni taratibu kanuni na misingi ambayo imejengwa katika muundo wa kimawazo kwa madhumuni ya kutumiwa kama kielelezo cha kuelezea jambo. Sarantakos (1997: 9) amefasili nadharia kama jambo linalofanywa na kuthibitishwa kwa utaratibu maalum kwa njia ya utafiti kwa ajili ya kuelezea jambo fulani katika jamii. Martin E. Amini (2005:10) anasema nadharia ni jumla ya mambo yote ambayo mtafiti amekusudia kuelezea, kuchambua, kuelewa au hata kutabiri jambo f
