I thank the Almighty God on this, my birthday. Special thanks to my wonderful and beautiful mother for being in labor and giving birth to me 53 years ago today - August 22nd - and nursing and nurturing me. I thank my Dad for his jokes and happy spirit and for bringing me up in an upright manner. Thanks to my siblings and relatives for all we have shared and will continue to share. And mostly, thanks to my amazing children for their unequivocal love. I am amazed how much of me they have in them and I am full of gratitude. To those who have been in and out of my life and made me better - Ahsante. My friends (and I am lucky to have genuine friends), the adventure continues. To many who share the birthday date with me - Big up to my buddy Rayvanny - I say to you all, with a huge smile, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU TOO. God Bless You. I am at a very good place in life - happy, peaceful, content and grateful. God truly loves me. Mbele iko Sawa!

We inducted Siaya County Executive Committee Members on Nurturing Care For ECD.Governor H.E James Orengo & the first lady graced the event with 8 out of 10 CECMs present.We had Key deliberations on sectoral integration & budgeting. Present were PATH, KMET, LREB & the secretariat

"The previous administration has done good work on matters Nurturing Care for Early Childhood Development in Siaya, we don't need to start afresh but to make it better"_H.E James Orengo during the Induction of the Siaya CECMs on NC for ECD.

We are currently conducting a structural engagement of the LREB First Spouses Association in Malindi. The major goal is to find the strategic intervention areas and to further institutionalize the Chapter by identifying the mandate for engagement.

In the meeting, Homa Bay First Spouse, H.E George Wanga- gave presentations on the gender discussion e.g. _how boys/men can interact with empowered girls/women, etc. _ and the key highlights of the Smart Start Initiative. The key is to identify the mandate for engagement.

We were part of the @LREB14 first ladies' forum; a rallying call for collaboration in addressing issues that affect socioeconomic dev. We introduced them to our Nurturing Care for ECD program and asked them to put children at the top of their agenda. #NyathiEnMwandu

1st Lady Betty Orengo was impressed at how much Siaya had achieved in ensuring every child thrives to full potential and promised to take up the mantle from the former first lady Rosella Rasanga and ensure this is taken up to the next level.

We are happy to have held the Inaugural meeting of the Nurturing Care Programme with the Siaya First Lady Mama Betty Orengo, this brought together members of the multisectoral & executive Committee, Partners, Reps from the National Government, and Departmental Focal Persons.
