Harambee
“Harambee”, Kenya’s motto describes people working together. Kenyans believe that they are strongest when they work together. The fact of the matter is that Kenyans have suffered terribly under the scourge of HIV/AIDS.
Just like all Canadians, they want to build strong communities that provide for their needs.
Harambee is what makes the impossible a possibility.
Community Education Services Canada believes in Harambee, in people pooling their resources and joining their hearts towards a common goal. CES Canada is a not for profit organization dedicated to assisting Kenyan students who have been affected and orphaned due to HIV/AIDS, to complete their secondary school education.
The Kenyan Flag
Three major and equal width stripes of black, red and green colours running from top to bottom and separated by narrow white stripes, with a symmetrical shield and white spears superimposed centrally.
The colors: Black represents the people of Kenya. Red represents the blood shed in the fight for independence. Green represents the fertility of the land. White represents peace. The shield of the warrior represents Kenya’s pride and tradition.
The Kenyan National Anthem
| KiswahiliEe Mungu nguvu yetu Ilete baraka kwetu Haki iwe ngao na mlinzi Natukae na undugu Amani na uhuru Raha tupate na ustawi.Amkeni ndugu zetu Tufanye sote bidii Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu Nchi yetu ya Kenya Tunayoipenda Tuwe tayari kuilindaNatujenge taifa letu Ee, ndio wajibu wetu Kenya istahili heshima Tuungane mikono Pamoja kazini Kila siku tuwe na shukrani |
EnglishO God of all creation Bless this our land and nation Justice be our shield and defender May we dwell in unity Peace and liberty Plenty be found within our borders.Let one and all arise With hearts both strong and true Service be our earnest endeavour And our homeland of Kenya Heritage of splendour Firm may we stand to defend.Let all with one accord In common bond united Build this our nation together And the glory of Kenya The fruit of our labour Fill every heart with thanksgiving. |
