Mwanafunzi mwenye ulemavu wa ngozi/albino awa namba moja kwenye mtihani Kenya

[MK254]

Nashukuru sana idara ya elimu na Wakenya kwa ujumla kwa kuwahamasisha wanafunzi wetu wote bila kujali ulemavu au asili, huyu hapa ambaye ni albino ameongoza nchi yote na kuwa namba moja.
Albino ni watu kama sisi, ni ulemavu wa ngozi tu, hamna chochote zaidi na hii inafaa iwafikie wale wenye imani potofu kwamba, hawa sio dili, na sio chanzo cha utajiri. Wapewe fursa kimaisha...

Najaribu kutafakari maana ya huu uzi, ni kwasababu ufaulu wake ni jambo la ajabu sana au kwasababu ni mlemavu wa ngozi. Ninaimani unafahamu kuwa ulemavu wangozi sio ulemavu wa akili.

Binadamu wenye ulemavu was ngozi hupitia unyanyapaa was hali ya juu Africa, kwenu huko wanachinjwa, hivyo akiibuka mmoja na kuongoza nchi kielimu, inabidi atangazwe kote kote ili jamii ianze kuwatazama upya.

Watu wenye ulemavu wa ngozi wapo sehemu nyingi dunia, sioni huko kwingine wakitangazwa au kupewa heshima ya ajabu pale wanapofanya vizuri kwenye mambo yao ya kila siku. Ningekuelewa kama ungemtaja yeye kama binadamu aliyepata matokeo mazuri, badala ya kuoneka kama unasema ulemavu wake wa ngozi ndio ulikuwa kikwazo kwa yeye kufanikiwa kielimu.

Hii pia nayo ni aina ya unyanyasaji na ubaguzi, sabb sioni cha ajabu sabb naye ni binadam kama mimi na ww tofauti yetu ni ngozi tu. Kuna haja ya kubadilika kifikra na tuwachukulie kawaida. Pongezi nyingi kwake.

Aisee hongera zake huyo binti, ata majaji wetu wanamkubali !![emoji3] [emoji191]

Wacha kupindisha pindisha na kuizungusha kama kwamba hujui naongea kuhusu nini, unajitoa ufahamu kinafiki.
Watoto wenye ulemavu wa ngozu yaani albino hutelekezwa na jamii sana na pia kuchinjwa huko kwenu. Mara nyingi jamii hukosa umuhimu wa kuwapa elimu.

Kuna kitu tunaita affirmative action, kuwalinda na kuwapa uwezo watu wanaonyanyapaliwa kwenye jamii, na kila wakifanya chochote cha kusifiwa inabidi kitangazwe kote kusudi jamii ianze kuwaona kama watu kama wengine. Huyo mtoto albino leo amenyanyuliwa juu kwa juu na kuonyeshwa kwenye runinga zote, kuna ujumbe wa maana sana ambao umewafikia jamii zote zitakazo tazama hiyo video.....

Nia na madhuni ya huu uzi ulikuwa unataka kuonyesha kama watanzania wote milioni 55, hawajali albino na wapo tayari kuwachunya wote. Hapo Mzee umefeli, Watanzania walio wengi 99.99999% wanawajali albino na kuwachukulia kama watu wa kawaida.

Tatizo linakuja vile unatumia rangi ya ngozi ya huyo binti kuonyesha kama Kenya inajali sana Albino kuliko nchi nyingine. Kwanza kumuweka hapo na kusema albino amefanya vizuri kwenye mtiani wa kitaifa (kwa maoni yangu) ni kama ubaguzi wa rangi. Naima kubwa sana albino yoyote ukiachilia matatizo wanayo yapata kiafya kama jua kali au kukosa mafuta ya kujikinga na mionzi ya juwa, hakuna anayechukulia ngozi kama kigezo au kikwazo kwenye maendeleo yao. Na hii ni kwa Tanzania, Kenya na sehemu nyingine zote duniani.

 

[Mzee wa hat-trick]

I got ur point. Its true walemavu wa ngozi wananyanyapaliwa na kuwindwa sana hapa Tanzania. Watu wameripotiwa sana kusaka viungo vya maalbino kwa imani tofauti, na wengi wao wamekuwa reported kuachishwa shule na kuishi kwa hofu.
Huko Kenya nadhani huyo wamempa amani ya kutosha na kumfanya awe free kusoma na kuwa na "peace of mind" kiasi cha kumuwezesha akafaulu mitihani yake. Hongera sana kwake.

 

[Yales]

Aisee ivi ngozi inaingilia na ubongo?

 

[Daudi Mchambuzi]

Tanzania ni ngumu kwa mtoto mwenye Albnism kuongoza darasani kwasababu anaishi kama digidigi anayewindwa kila kona.

Mkuu haikuwa sawa kutumia ulemavu wa huyu mtoto kujustify unayoyafikiria, not fair!
Pengine kungekuwa na namna nyingine ya kufikisha ujumbe wako, umemnyanyasa huyo mtoto.

Kaka hili lazima lijadiliwe, burying our head in the sand, or pretending or looking the other way will not address this reality, this feat must be discussed on every national TV, in every bar talk, in every living room.... Must spread all over that a girl with albinism has conquered all odds manifested by stigmatization and emerged top in the whole country. This must be seen by every parent.

Here are her own words “Albinism should not confine anyone in the house, people living with albinism should know that they are up to the task of doing better like any other person. They must break the myths and work hard,”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 14-year-old girl, who is living with albinism, defied all challenges including stigma to score 455 marks out of a possible 500, to emerge the best in the country.
She scored 99 marks in English, Kiswahili (99), Mathematics (85) and Science (88). When The Standard caught up with her on her way from Iten, where she had gone to visit her grandmother, Kakuya was overjoyed. Beyond expectations She was expecting to perform well in the examination, she said, but she was not expecting to be the top candidate in the country.
“It is amazing and fun to be the best candidate in the country. I expected to perform well but not to lead the whole country,” she said. She narrated how she overcame challenges and stigma surrounding albinism to emerge the best. “People around me including my fellow pupils, teachers and parents were friendly and encouraged me that albinism is just a condition and should not bar anyone from realising his/her dreams. They were very supportive and finally their efforts have paid off,” she said.
Her performance, she said, should inspire all persons living with albinism, and marks a major victory against stigma associated with the skin pigmentation condition. “Albinism should not confine anyone in the house, people living with albinism should know that they are up to the task of doing better like any other person. They must break the myths and work hard,” she said.Kakuya was full of praise for her teachers, who she credited with her exemplary performance.
She said she was hoping to join MPESA Foundation Academy or Kenya High School for her secondary education. “I want to be a psychotherapist or psychiatrist, I love anything related to the working of the human brain,” she said. At her school, teachers broke into song and dance, saying it was the first time for the institution produced the top pupil. “She has been leading in class since she joined this school.
I expected good results from her and she has managed it, we are proud of her,” said Ibrahim Nambande, the head teacher. Her father, Harrison Webo, who works at West Kenya Sugar Company, said his fourth born child had done him proud.“I have confidence that my child will join the school of her dream. She promised to work hard and she has done it,” he said.
In Trans Nzoia,Trevor Ombaso Osoro, 13, from Kitale School, led this years’ KCPE examination in the county with 434 marks. The second-born in his family, who wants to be a neurosurgeon in future attributed his performance to hard work and determination. “I did not expect anything less 450 marks. I aimed for the top countrywide but I’m happy with what I have attained and I thank God for the results,” said Osoro. His mother, Hellen Mongire, described him as an industrious and confident boy who loves reading. “We knew he was going to pass the exams,” she said. Osoro follows in the footsteps of his sister, Trizer, who was among the top KCPE students in the county last year with 400 marks.

Wote walio husika kuandika huu ujumbe hawaku mtendea haki huyo binti, is she the only one with albinism who had performed well. Kuna watu wengi tuu in Kenya and Tanzania wenye albinism ambao wako mpaka serikalini. Mbona sijakusikia unamtaja Justice Mumbi Ngugi ? Yeye hakupitia hizo shida?

Unasema huyo binti amepitia mambo magumu mpaka kufanikiwa kufika hapo ina maana na Kenya nako sio salama?

Ni wazi kabisa huelewi ninachozungumza kuhusu au unajitoa ufahamu ung'ang'anie kama ulivyozoea kwenye masuala ya siasa ilmradi ushinde na kubaki mwenyewe kama aliyesema mwisho. Ni aibu sana kwa mtu kama wewe kupambana hapa ukibishia hili na ndio itabidi tu nikupuuze maana mkijitoaga ufahamu hivi huwa mnang'anganizia hadi mada inaishia kurasa nyingi zisizokua na maana ila kupotezeana muda.

Hakuna siku mtu mwenye albino atafaulu kwenye jamii bila ya sote kuzungumzia ushindi wake dhidi ya dhana tulizo nazo kama jamii. Hata huyo unayemsifia Justice Mumbi Ngugi ukisoma blog yake, anaeleza masaibu yaliyomkumba kwenye unyanyasaji au kubaguliwa.
Ni wazi ubaguzi wa albino upo kwenye nchi zote, hata Kenya upo lakini Tanzania tu ndiko mumepitiliza na kuwachinja. Haya hapa maneno ya Mumbi Ngugi
------------------------------------------------------------
However, my life has not been smooth sailing. It has never been easy especially when a large proportion of society is avoiding you. In fact, finding jobs for people like me is almost impossible because the world is convinced we are intellectually challenged, or a bad omen, or just objects of curiosity.

When I was growing up, I was always the centre of attention in every crowd I was brave enough to appear in. When I walked into a public place, everything would come to a standstill and I would feel everyone’s eyes tearing me apart. Some voices were loud while others whispered, but they all analysed me, mostly in disparaging terms.

My mother once took me to Kenyatta National Hospital in the capital, Nairobi, to seek help for my poor eyesight, but the doctors did not even know that I could be assisted with glasses, at least to protect my eyes from the glare of the sun. It was not until I was in high school that I finally got glasses with photo chromatic lenses.

There was little information around me about albinism so I scoured every little bit of information from reading books and magazines. I learned about preventing sunburn through use of sunscreen. I didn’t see or use sunscreen until I was about 17 years of age when I discovered it in a supermarket.

Nakusii usiukibie huu Uzi maana najuwa ni jadi yako kutimua mbio joto la mdahalo linapokuwa kali.

Kwani albino ni watu walioanza kuonekana miaka ya karibuni au walikuwepo tangu dunia ilipo ubwa? Matatizo aliyopitia Justice Mumbi Ngugi mengi ni ya kiafya zaidi kuliko ya kiusalama. Kama alivyosema yeye mwenyewe, hakuna aliyejuwa jinsi ya kumsaidia kwa vitu kama mawani nk. Kulikuwa hakuna utafiti wa jinsi ya kijikinga na mionzi ya jua enzi hizo. Lakini Leo hii ni nani asiyejuwa jinsi ya kumsaidia mtu mwenye ulemavu wa ngozi? Je ni nani leo hii Kenya au Tanzania atacha anachofanya na kumshangaa albino anapota njia? Tatizo lnakuja unapojaribu kuonyesha ulimwengu kuwa albino wote wa Tanzania wamefungwa kamba mikono na miguu na kuna watu wananowa visu kuwachinja. This is wrong misconception, hata Tanzania kuna albino walio jiendeleza kielimu na kimaisha pia. Imani ya kichawi ni tatizo la bara lote la Africa bila kujali ufahamu mtu au elimu yake. Hata huyo Justice Mumbi Ngugi amejieleza vizuri kwamba Albinism sio kitu kinachokupa maumivu kiakili bali albino ni watu kama watu wengine na wanauwezo wa kufanikiwa kama binadamu yoyote yule. Taarifa ya huyo binti kufaulu mitiani yake ya kitaifa ni taarifa nzuri na ya kupingezwa, lakini ukisema ameweza kufanikiwa huku akiwa na ugonjwa wa ngozi hiyo haiko saws na inaashiria ubaguzi wa rangi. Ukumbuke hata Tanzania pia kuna vijana wengi tuu wako mashuleni na wamezaliwa na Albinoism lakini wanajituma kama wengine. Na wala hautakuja kuona Tanzania tuna difine mtu kwa kutumia rangi yake ya ngozi. Hili nakuhakikishia hapa na kokote kule kwasababu moja ya nguzo zinazo ishikilia Tanzania ni kuto mbaguwa mtu yoyote kutokana na rangi ya ngozi yake.

Mkuu hoja yako ni nini ulemavu wake au ufaulu wake?
