Heshima kwako Ndugu.Naomba uniwakilishie ombi hili barazani kwako. Namtafuta Dada Mdogo RENATHA BENEDICTO ambaye tumepoteana kwa takriban miaka 7 sasa.
Renatha alikuwa mwanafunzi wa shule ya Sekondari Kibasila jijini Dar kati ya mwaka 1998 - 2001 na baada ya hapo alienda Songea TTC kujiunga na masomo ya ualimu.
Pia alikuwa kati ya wahanga wa ajali mbaya ya Tawfiq iliyotokea tarehe kama ya leo mwaka 1999 ambapo alikuwa msaada mkubwa saana kuokoa maisha yangu. (Maelezo kamili yako
http://changamotoyetu.blogspot.com/2009/04/namtafuta-renatha-benedicto.html )
Niliwasiliana naye kwa miaka miwili iliyofuata mpaka alipoenda chuoni Songea nami nikaondoka nchini mwaka uliofuata na kwa miaka mingi sasa nimekuwa nikijitahidi saana kumtafuta bila mafanikio.
Naomba kama anaweza kusoma ama kuna anayesoma na kumfahamu anisaidie kuwasiliana naye.

Salma: Kwa nini alifungiwa ndani kwa miaka 24?
Mlemavu wa viungo Salma MkomwaMama yake asimulia kisa cha kupata ulemavu
SIMULIZI ya msichana Salma Mkomwa (26) wa Morogoro kufungiwa nyumbani kwao kwa miaka 24 bila kutoka ndani imewashtua wengi hasa baada ya kujitokeza kwenye vyombo vya habari kuomba msaada wa kumwezesha kujikwamua.
Wengi wamekuwa wakijiuliza kisa cha kufungiwa kwa msichana huyo mlemavu kwa kipindi chote hicho. Wapo waliowashutumu wazazi wake na wengine wakidhani kwamba walistahili kupewa elimu juu ya malezi ya mtoto wao badala ya shutuma, alimradi kila mtu alisema lake.
Ili kujua kisa na mkasa, nilifunga safari hadi Kijiji cha Kichangani, Morogoro anakoishi msichana huyo kujua kulikoni? Nilikutana na kuzungumza kwa kina na mama yake, Mwanangavia Sewa.
Alijibu swali la kwa nini alimfungia binti yake kwa miaka 24... "Hatukuwa na uwezo wa kufanya chochote na wala hatukujua hata pa kuanzia baada ya Salma kuanza matatizo haya. Sababu kubwa ni kwamba hali ilikuwa ngumu."
Baada ya majibu hayo, mama huyo alianza kueleza mambo ambayo anadhani ndiyo chanzo cha binti yake huyo ambaye ni mtoto wa pili kati ya sita aliojaaliwa kupata ulemavu huo.
Akiwa na mimba ya miezi tisa, alifunga safari ya kutoka hapo Morogoro kwenda Handeni, Tanga kwa ajili ya kujifungua. Anakumbuka hiyo ilikuwa mwaka 1982.
Wiki moja kabla ya kumpata mtoto huyo, alikwenda shambani kuvuna ndizi, baada ya kupata mkungu wake, alijitwisha tayari kwa safari ya kurudi nyumbani. Akiwa njiani alidondoka.
"Kama unavojua mambo ya kijijini nilijifungua kwa mkunga sikujifungulia hosipitali lakini mwanangu Salma alikuwa mzima kabisa" anasema na kuendelea:
"Lakini wiki moja baada ya kujifungua mtoto akawa analia kupita kiasi kuna kulia kwa mtoto kawaida lakini yeye alizidi hadi kuwashtua watu nyumbani. Tukampeleka Zahanati ya Mzindu, Handeni walipompima wakasema mtoto hana tatizo lolote, wakatupa vidonge lakini hali ilibaki vilevile."
"Baada ya mwezi mmoja miguu ilianza kuvimba usawa wa magoti. Ikabidi nifunge safari kurudi Morogoro na kwenda Hospitali ya Mkoa.
Nilipomfikisha akapigwa x-ray sehemu za magoti ili kujua tatizo. Majibu yakaonyesha kuwa sehemu hizo zimeachana na damu haitembei.
"Madaktari wakasema nimechelewa hawezi kunyooshwa tena mifupa imekomaa. Wakati huo alikuwa na umri wa mwezi mmoja. Nadhani hii yote imetokana na kutojifungulia hospitali labda tatizo lingeweza kujulikana mapema."
Baada ya majibu hayo ilirudi nyumbani. Hali ya Salma iliendelea kuwa mbaya. Aliishia kupewa dawa za kutuliza maumivu na kupunguza uvimbe uliokuwapo miguuni.
Alipofikisha miaka mitano alipata nafuu. Uvimbe ulikoma hata kulialia kulipungua. Wakati wote huo mikono yake haikuwa na tatizo hata kidogo lakini siku zilivyozidi kusonga nayo ikawa inajikunja pamoja na miguu.
"Madaktari walishindwa jinsi ya kufanya na hatukuweza hata kununua gari la kumsaidia ndiyo maana ilibidi akae tu ndani kwa muda wote huo."
Habari kuhusu Salma zilijulikana baada ya Taasisi ya Faraja Trust Fund ambayo inashughulika na watoto wanaoishi katika mazingira magumu kutembelea nyumbani kwao.
Hata hivyo, hawakuwa wamekwenda kwa ajili yake bali mdogo wake wa kiume ambaye amekataa kwenda shule akiwa darasa la tano.
"Ilikuwa kama ndoto na sitakuja kusahau siku ile ambayo alikuja mlezi kutoka Faraja ambaye alikuwa akishugulika na watoto ambao wanaishi katika mazingira magumu na wasiopenda shule akiwemo mdogo wangu ndipo akanikuta," anasema Salma.
"Siku alipokuja nilikuwa ndani. Aliniona lakini aliondoka bila kuniambia kitu chochote hadi mwaka 2006 alipokuja tena na mama Ligaya alinipiga picha na kuipeleka katika Kituo cha Faraja."
Alipelekwa katika kituo hicho na baada ya kufika huko, Naibu Waziri wa Maendeleo ya Jamii, Jinsia na Watoto, Dk Lucy Nkya kwa kushirikana na shirika hilo walimpokea na kumpatia baiskeli pamoja nyuzi sita kwa ajili ya kuanza kufuma kwa kuwa tayari alikuwa na ujuzi huo.
"Namshukuru Mungu picha hizo zilipokwenda huko zilipokewa na hatimaye nilipata baiskeli ambayo inanisaidia katika maisha yangu kwani siwezi kutembea bila ya baiskeli."
Katika kipindi alichokuwa ndani alikuwa akijifunza kushona kwa kutumia chelewa za ufagio kwani hakuwa na uwezo wa kununua sindano ya kufumia vitambaa.
"Ninaweza kufuma vifuko vya kuhifadhia simu na tai na namshukuru Mungu naviuza Sh2,000 na watu wananunua. Shirika (Faraja), lilinipeleka katika maonyesho ya Sabasaba na hapo watu mbalimbali walielewa nini ninachofanya. Niliuza bidhaa zangu na kupata Sh200,000 na kupata msingi wa kuuza mkaa."
Fedha zinazopatikana katika shughuli zake wakati mwingine humsaidia mama yake ambaye ni mfanyabiashara wa mbogamboga hasa anapokosa bidhaa.
Salma hawezi kutembea wala kutambaa na hiyo ni changamoto kubwa katika maisha yake kwani anapokosa mtu wa kumsogeza alipo hulazimika kubaki hapo alipo liwepo jua au mvua.
Anayo tamaa kubwa ya kupata elimu lakini anasema wazazi wake hawana uwezo wa kumpeleka shule. Anatamani angejitokeza msamaria mwema kumsaidia pengine hiyo ingekuwa sehemu ya kujikomboa kimaisha.
"Nitashukuru pia kama nitapata mahala pa kuishi kwani hapa mazingira ni magumu. Baba ana wake wawili wote wanakaa katika nyumba hii na ana watoto 14 ambao wanamtegemea baba huyo na nyumba hiyo hivyo."
"Naomba tu Mungu mama yangu asitangulie mbele za haki kwani nitapata shida lakini kama nina nyumba yangu kidogo afadhali nitaweza kujisitiri."
Mwanamke aliyemfichua msichana huyo ni Jalia Lupapulo ofisa wa kituo hicho cha faraja chenye makao yake Kihonda, Morogoro. Anaungana naye kuomba wasamaria wema wamsadia akisema hajawahi kusoma. Kituo hicho hivi sasa kipo katika mchakato wa kumtafutia mwalimu maalumu.
Baadhi ya wataalamu wa tiba ya mifupa wanasema kwamba tatizo Salma linaweza kutibika kwa kupunguza kiwango cha ulemavu alichonacho.
"Nikimuona naweza nikajua tatizo ni nini hata kama ana umri mkubwa anaweza akasaidiwa tatizo likapungua ama siyo kwisha kabisa," alisema daktari mmoja.

TUMSAIDIE MTANZANIA WENZETU
Dear Friends and well wishers,
I humbly write to you in connection to above mentioned lady who is a daughter of The late Richard Muro who passed away sometimes in 2002.I received a call from Gaborone regional Immigration Office sometimes in June last year regarding Neema. They wanted to know why She was not transported back to Tanzania by the time ATB transported her father's body. They had tried to deport Neema back to Tanzania but she threatened to commit suicide if they do so. That's when they tried to contact ATB to assist. By the time of Muro's death it happened that he was renting at Mrs Naledi Mookinyana's mother's compound in Molepolole. So they all knew Neema and she bacame like a daughter to them. This bond made Naledi to volunteer to stay with Neema after her father's death. She accomodated, fed and supported her until she completed primary education in 2006 at Naledi Secondary School in Gaborone. By God's Grace she perfomed extremely well in her standard seven exams with All 8 A stars. She! was then selected to join Pre-Medical at the University of Botswana. Then the drama started. UB claimed that she was not Naledi's daughter nor legal dependant so she will need a student permit and then pay as a foreign student, about P35,000 a year. When Naledi went to immigration to enquire for the student permit they threatened to charge her for horbouring a foreigner illegally for so many years. They wanted to deport Neema.
I then managed to locate Neema's mother in Tanzania through mama Shine who happened to be knowing her uncle. The mother is financially unstable. I then realised that Neema was not Muro's biological daughter, rather his late brother's daughter. Even Muro had no legal right as Neema's guardian. Muro had decided to bring Neema to Botswana after realising that she was suffering where she was squattering after her father's death. The mother got married to another man in Mwanza town. Unfortunatelly the new husband died as well. He left a house and a small shop to her in Mwanza town which later got burnt down. So She was also squettering. I guess thats why Neema was not ready to go back there alive. I got touched.
I then asked the mother to send legal documents of which she did but the immigration turned it down because Neema had passed the age of adoption which is 16 years. She was then 19 years. After several correspondences and meetings between my office (ATB) and Immigration office, The Immigration Board was convinced and issued a student permit. The DVC-SA was the only person who had authority to change the student status from foreign to local. I wrote several letters with supporting documents and I had several meetings with The Directors of Finance and Student Affairs. The DVC-SA was then convinced and approved the change to local student, meaning she would pay about P13000 a year. She joined UB and started classes sometimes Sept last year. She has finished her first year and again performed very well, with all A's (all subjects). She will be starting clinical trials at Marina Hospital on 8th June 2009. Naledi Mookinyana managed to pay tuition fees, accomodation and books, ! about P15000.00 last year.
I reported the matter to ATB annual general meeting in sept last year of which they requested me to work and try to legalise her stay in Botswana, request UB to change her student status to local and then request all well wishers and friends to contribute towards her studies. Naledi is workin as records attendant at Local goverments, worker's wellfare. The husband works for a security company in Gaborone. Naledi has 6 children of her own and 2 from her husbands previous relationship. She is therefore not a rich lady, just a poor lady with a rich heart. She will therefore not afford to continue paying all school expennses on her own.
Thats why I write to you to humbly request for your contributions towards assisting this poor but very hardworking and God Blessed child. There will be a register in circulation please indicate the kind of assistance you will provide and hand the contribution to any ATB executive member or you can deposit the money into ATB's account no. 325515 barclay's House and then inform the atb's treasurer, Mr Mbekomize (+267 71449964) , or his deputy Mrs Nkabila (+267 71754374) or myself +267 7.... Our target is to raise about P25,0000.00 which will cover for her tuition fees, accomodation and books for second year which starts August 2009.
Naomba tuendeleze mshikamano wetu kama kawaida kwani watanzania wa Botswana tunajulikana kama watu wenye upendo na wenye kusaidiana. Tunakaribisha hata wenzetu walioko nje ya Botswana kama kina Mwasekaga, Mdoe, Nchimbi, Mama Mbeko, Mama Msuya, Rwezaura, Mh Mathayo, Prof Nkoma, Mwakalebela, Maggid, Kissaka, Kisa, Benard Mhando, na wengineo tunaomba mtuunge mkono. Nitakuwa natoa taarifa ya michango kwenu mara kwa mara. Ujumbe huu umeletwa kwako kwa kuwa unajali, Tafadhali foward email hii kwa wasamaria wema.
Natanguliza shukrani.
