In one of my recent articles I considered the need for ameliorating the conditions of poor people. I also spoke of the incident in which a woman poured the contents of a bottle of costly ointment on the head of Jesus Christ and the criticism of onlookers.

In Levuma Village, just outside Waterloo in the Western Rural District, agriculture is the mainstay of the population. This, however, looks set to change as many farmers here are indecisive as to what to make of their lifelong trade which doesn't appear to be meeting their expectations these days.
They hardly have scientific proofs, but the people in this predominantly farming community are in no doubt that changing rainfall pattern forms a greater part of the puzzle. Scientists attribute this to the effect of climate change.

"Countries with more gender equality have better economic growth. Companies with more women leaders perform better. Peace agreements that include women are more durable. Parliaments with more women enact more legislation on key social issues such as health, education, anti-discrimination and child support. The evidence is clear: equality for women means progress for all." ~ UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon
