Some of these questions may include things like, ‘What is wrong with me’, ‘What is it I am doing wrong’, ’Am I beautiful enough’, ’Is there a particular way I should treat my man that I have not explored’, ‘Why am I not meeting the right people’. These questions are countless and more often than not rhetorical. Here are some of the reasons you still have not found the kind of relationship you desire: You’re Not Actually Looking for it You say you want love, but you’re not doing anything to actively facilitate finding it.

Fulfilling Purpose with Repurpose School Bags

By: Valerie Dei Thato and Rea both founded Repurpose School Bags, a company that produces recycled backpacks at low-cost for disadvantaged students in their local community in South Africa. Their young business collects and recycles plastic waste to produce school bags for local students. But that’s not just it. These recycled plastic bags have a solar panel in the flap, which charges as the children walk to and back from school. The bags also have strips of reflective material, an added safety design to make the children more visible to traffic in the early hours. The charged solar panels are used to provide lighting at night. Students can use this light to do their homework and study instead of using candles. This helps students to do more school work and saves money which could have been spent on candles. Thato and Rea have partnered with local individuals and organizations…

Controversial IVF Doctor Gives Hope to Older Indian Women

By: Muneeza Naqvi Gurjeet is the child Kaur yearned for desperately, after 40 years of being that thing which a rural Indian woman dreads more than almost anything else — barren.

Fertility specialists say pregnancies like Kaur’s are troubling because of the potential health risks and the concern that the parents may not live…
