A hopeful beginning

It is painful to watch innocent people especially children suffer. The word painful is not enough reading the news, it is disturbing, heartbreaking and sickening as Angelina Jolie said.

My Dev Com 202 course is something to relieve all these feelings. There is a way to make things better. There are scientific and proven ways to solve the problems.

Being a Christian, I know that it’s written in the bible. The last days of the world will be full of hardships, injustice and there will be no peace. People will be greedy and wrong doings will be the common practice. Other religions also claim that the end is near. All the signs are happening. Signs were given for us to be watchful but there is nothing said there that we just wait, watch and do nothing.

I will make my development communication journey fruitful and meaningful. I may not be able to attain peace on earth or heal the world. I know that with the right education, the skills to know how, a genuine commitment, and a good timing, I can create change, give hope to others, those I could reach. Make future brighter not for everyone but at least for some. I will not allow myself to just watch and get hurt with all these sickening news. I am equipping myself to be a Development Communication in the future. This is a work in progress which replaces pain with hope and determination.
