ATEEZ as Benders

Masterlist | A/N: A glimpse into each member and their roles in my upcoming ATLA-inspired, Wooyoung x reader fic for the second part of my title track series. Will most likely end up writing a fic for each member and turning this into a sub-series of its own. Let me know what you think! Edit: As of 11/11/23, this has been turned into a series. Check out the masterlist here.

Hongjoong

Element: Fire

Occupation: Diplomat, Strategist

Personality: Intense, strong-willed, passionate, loyal, creative, intelligent, charismatic

He is incredibly persuasive and cunning, and he uses his skills to enact the will of the people and do his best for the good of the Fire Nation. He has a lot of secret admirers, often finding chocolates and other gifts in his office, but don't mention that to him or he'll get shy.

Seonghwa

Occupation: Artisan

Personality: Sensitive, nurturing, perfectionist, reliable, open-minded, adaptable, empathetic

Fun Fact: Seonghwa is known to make some of the most beautiful carvings and jewelry in the entire Water Tribe. All benders, no matter what nation they're from, would love to own one of his pieces. But secretly, he loves to make toys for kids to play with and prefers that to his main job.

Yeosang

Element: Air

Occupation: Meditative Guide

Personality: Unique, endearing, positive, dreamy, free-spirited, peaceful

Truthfully, he's aware of everything that's going on but only likes to pay attention to the things that really matter to him.

San

Element: Fire

Occupation: Firebending Instructor, Tactician

Personality: Passionate, unpredictable, alluring, strong-willed, independent, principled

Fun Fact: Wooyoung has mastered a unique form of healing that he calls "Wavesong" where, through singing and dancing, he can project vibrations through water that promote healing within wounded individuals, allowing him to help not only their bodies but their minds. People believe this is because he is moon-blessed, a child born under the Siren Moon that only rises once every 88 years. Wooyoung lets them believe that, not wanting to reveal that his true "blessing" is having prophetic dreams that tend to get him in more trouble than they're worth.

Jongho

Element: Fire

Occupation: Ceremonial Performer

Personality: Courageous, idealistic, adventurous, passionate, independent, powerful, dynamic

Fun Fact: When Jongho isn't participating in a ceremony or ritual, he often busks on the streets of the capital, entertaining passersby for fun.

Emerald: Mercury Black died in the final battle against Salem. He was an assassin, and a mercenary, and he found joy in bringing others pain and misery.

Mercury: (Ghost) And I had a lot of haters because I was too awesome for my sick pranks!.

Emerald: Everyone here is probably familiar with his notable distaste for everything you all stood for.

Mercury: And I still do!.

Emerald: But what most people don't know is there was another side to him. A sweeter and more tender side, found in his generosity.

Mercury: What? N-No, I don't! Don't go into-

Emerald: All the money he made off killing that didn't go to his necessities went to the orphanage and children's hospitals.

Mercury: This is revisionist history! I will not stand for this slanderism! I like killing and laughing at pain!.

Emerald: He coached underprivileged sports teams and help at risk preteens through hard times.

Mercury: I'm a creep! A scoundrel! A no good evil monster that lurks in the shadows!.

Mercury: I had ulterior motives! I swear!.

Emerald: Remnant lost a good person that day, and it is a worse place without him.

Mercury: Ugh... If I go to heaven, I better get to hurt someone up there.

NSS Day

To commemorate NSS Day on September 24, the NSS Volunteers from KCC Institute of Legal & Higher Education embarked on a meaningful mission. They paid visits to both an orphanage and an old-age home, devoting their time to educating underprivileged orphaned children and gaining wisdom from the elderly residents of the old-age home.

Their visit to Gharonda Bal Ashram in Ghaziabad was a heartwarming experience for both the NSS Volunteers and the children. Engaging in various activities with the youngsters created lasting and cherished memories.

Furthermore, during their visit to the Manop Foundation Old Age Home, the volunteers engaged in simple yet profound interactions. Whether it was spending hours listening to the captivating life stories of the elderly residents or dancing with them, the experience served as a poignant reminder of the significance of compassion and the value of intergenerational connections.

Imagine working your whole life to be remembered as the greatest artist of all time and you’re forced to be remembered as the most infamous pedophile of all time. That’s a damn shame.

It’s fucked up what they did to Michael, but we can still advocate for his innocence even though he’s gone, now. Truth and Justice shouldn’t die when you die. That’s why it’s important that we still fight for him. If we don’t, no one will.

Michael dedicated his life to helping children and saved millions of lives through his humanitarian efforts. Over 500 million donated in his name, and that was just publicly. He did more anonymously. His nephew said he easily doubled that number. MJ didn’t draw attention to his charity work. He felt it was wrong to do so, and a lot of the stuff he did for others didn’t become known until he died.

He was an amazing artist, yes. The greatest to ever live. But under that, he was an amazing human being. He was a good man who truly cared for other people. He was not like other celebrities who just say they love their fans and shit to keep up an image. Michael truly did love his fans, genuinely.

He hung out with his fans. He kept in communication with his fans and knew many of them by name. His security guards even commented on how shocked they were when they’d be out somewhere and MJ would point at fans and tell them their names and when he’d met them, etc.

He would bring food and blankets and pillows to his fans that camped outside his hotels and shows. He even let fans come up to his hotel rooms and sleep in there. He also let fans come to his house and hang out at his house. He ran Neverland Ranch for a loss of over 3 million each year. There were regular, almost daily trips from make a wish or other programs that helped sick or dying children who wanted to spend the day with MJ or at his ranch as a last wish. He had bus loads of underprivileged kids brought to the ranch too so they could experience a zoo or amusement park because these children were too poor to do so otherwise.

He would walk around on the street and just give people hundreds of dollars in cash. He would also have his ppl drive him around and donate to the homeless very regularly. And he always made a point to especially help the homeless women.

Every city and country he visited, he would go to orphanages, hospitals, nursing homes etc. He would pay for everyone’s treatment and would continue to pay for their treatment for years afterward. He would also buy tons of presents for the kids at these orphanages and hospitals. All the money he made from tours, he also donated. While on tour, actually, he decided to build a burn ward for burn victims bc he himself was one.

For his last tour, what would’ve been This Is It, all he talked about was building a children’s hospital…. There are audio recordings of it that his murderer recorded very soon before he killed Michael. In these recordings, MJ is heavily drugged, but even while being drugged against his will, he was still talking about what he could do for others.

“When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say ‘I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life! Go! Go! I’ve never seen nothing like this. Go! He’s the greatest entertainer in the world!’ I’m taking that money, a million children… children’s hospital. The biggest in the world. Michael Jackson’s children’s hospital. Gonna have a movie theater, game room. Children are depressed. The- in those hospitals. No movie theater, no game room. They’re sick because they’re depressed. Their mind is depressing them. I want to give them that. I care about them, them angels. God wants me to do it. God wants me to do it.”

He continues with “That will be remembered more than my performances. My performances will be up there helping my children and always be my dream. I love them. I love them because I didn’t have a childhood. I had no childhood, I feel their pain.” And “I feel their hurt, I can deal with it. ‘Heal the World.’ ‘We Are the World.’ ‘Will You Be There.’ ‘The Lost Children.’ These are the songs I’ve written because I hurt, you know, I hurt.”

It breaks my heart what they did to this man. He was the closest thing we’ll ever get to an Angel. And they killed him.

The History of Charity Organizations in Pakistan: A Timeline

Charity organizations have been a cornerstone of Pakistan's social welfare system, contributing significantly to the country's development. From the early years post-independence to the modern era, these organizations have addressed critical needs and fostered community growth. This article provides a detailed timeline of the evolution of charity organizations in Pakistan, highlighting their contributions and impact.

1947-1960: The Birth of a Nation and Early Philanthropic Efforts

Post-Independence Relief Efforts

The partition of India in 1947 resulted in mass migrations, violence, and displacement, necessitating immediate relief efforts. In response, several charity organizations were established to provide essential services. The All Pakistan Women's Association (APWA), founded in 1949 by Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan, was among the first to focus on women and children's welfare. APWA provided critical healthcare, education, and vocational training to women affected by the partition.

Establishment of the Edhi Foundation

In 1951, Abdul Sattar Edhi founded the Edhi Foundation, starting with a small dispensary. Over time, it grew into Pakistan's largest charity organization, offering a wide range of services, including ambulances, orphanages, and shelters for the homeless. The Edhi Foundation became a symbol of selfless service, setting a standard for future philanthropic endeavors in Pakistan.

1960-1980: Expansion and Institutionalization of Charity Work

Growth of Health and Education Initiatives

The 1960s and 1970s saw significant growth in charity work, with a focus on health and education. The Aga Khan Foundation, established in 1967, played a vital role in improving healthcare and education across Pakistan. The foundation's initiatives in rural development and healthcare set a precedent for structured and institutionalized philanthropy.

The Role of Religious Organizations

During this period, religious organizations like Jamaat-e-Islami and Tableeghi Jamaat expanded their charitable activities, especially in rural areas. These organizations established schools, clinics, and vocational centers, extending the reach of charity work throughout the country.

Launch of the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust

In 1985, Imran Khan launched the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust in memory of his mother. The trust focused on providing free cancer treatment to the underprivileged, culminating in the establishment of Pakistan's first cancer hospital in Lahore in 1994. This initiative marked a major milestone in healthcare philanthropy in Pakistan.

1980-2000: A Period of Consolidation and Growth

Zakat and the Role of Government

The 1980s brought the Zakat Ordinance, introduced under General Zia-ul-Haq, which mandated Zakat deductions from savings accounts to support the poor and needy. While this system aimed to institutionalize charity, it sparked debates about the efficiency of state-controlled charity versus independent organizations.

Formation of the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy

In 2001, the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) was established to enhance the effectiveness of philanthropy in the country. The PCP focused on capacity building for non-profit organizations, promoting transparency, and fostering corporate philanthropy as part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

The Role of International NGOs

During this time, international NGOs such as Save the Children, CARE International, and Oxfam became increasingly active in Pakistan. These organizations worked on disaster relief, education, and women's rights, contributing significantly to the growth of the charity sector in Pakistan.

Present: The Modern Era of Charity and Philanthropy

Shifa Foundation's Contribution to Health and Social Services

Shifa Foundation has been a leading force in Pakistan's humanitarian landscape for over three decades. With a focus on healthcare, environmental initiatives, water and sanitation projects, disaster response, and educational volunteer programs, Shifa Foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 8 million people across Pakistan. Their work in providing essential services has been instrumental in improving the quality of life for countless individuals.

Rise of Technology-Driven Philanthropy

The internet and social media have transformed charity organizations in Pakistan. Platforms like Aurat Foundation, Saylani Welfare International Trust, and Akhuwat use technology to reach broader audiences and raise funds efficiently. Online donations, crowdfunding, and social media campaigns have increased donations and volunteer participation.

Impact of Natural Disasters

Natural disasters such as the 2005 earthquake and the 2010 floods underscored the importance of charity organizations in disaster response and recovery. The Pakistan Red Crescent Society, Al-Khidmat Foundation, and Edhi Foundation played critical roles in providing relief and rehabilitation to affected communities.

Focus on Sustainable Development

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on sustainable development in the charity sector. Organizations like the Citizen's Foundation (TCF), which operates a vast network of schools for underprivileged children, are leading the way in providing long-term solutions to poverty, education, and healthcare.

The Future of Charity Organizations in Pakistan

The future of charity organizations in Pakistan is bright, with increasing emphasis on innovation, transparency, and collaboration. As the sector evolves, partnerships between the government, private sector, and non-profits will be crucial in addressing the country's challenges. The use of technology and a focus on sustainable development will continue to drive the impact of charity organizations.

An older article but worth sharing in light of an overrated white man who thinks his opinion means something because he's good at sports

By Kate Stringer March 25, 2018

March is National Women’s History Month. In recognition, The 74 is sharing stories of remarkable women who transformed U.S. education.

A self-described young, stuttering child, Joe Biden credits a group of women for building his confidence and giving him 12 years of education that would lead him to become vice president of the United States. “You have no idea of the impact that you have on others,” Biden told a group of Catholic nuns on a social justice tour of the United States in 2014.

Biden is just one of millions of Americans, many of them underprivileged, educated in Catholic schools, a system that would have been impossible if not for the generations of dedicated religious female educators. Working for very low wages, these women changed lives, moving large immigrant communities into the middle class and — though too often given short shrift by the male-dominated Catholic Church — opened doors to higher education for women.

“Teaching is a critical part of the sisters’ mission of education because we believe, in short, that education can save the world,” said Sister Teresa Maya, president of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. “It empowers people, it broadens horizons, it deepens values, it engages conversation between faith and culture.”

Catholic schooling in the U.S. dates back as far as the early 1600s, as priests and nuns arrived in the colonies and established schools, orphanages, and hospitals. John Carroll — elected the first U.S. bishop in 1789 — pushed for religious schools to educate American Catholic children living in a predominantly Protestant country. As priests and brothers began creating schools for boys, it was left to the nuns to teach girls.

Elizabeth Ann Seton, recognized in the Catholic Church as the first native-born U.S. saint, started the Sisters of Charity, an order that opened separate parochial schools for families of poor and wealthy girls, in the early 1800s. Some consider these the first Catholic parochial schools in the U.S.

By the middle of the century, Catholics from Ireland, Italy, and Poland began immigrating to the United States and swelling the ranks of local churches, and in the early 1900s, bishops called for every parish to educate its children — a response to widespread anti-Catholic sentiment, a need to help Americanize the new arrivals, and a desire for an alternative to public schools where children prayed the Protestant version of the Lord’s Prayer and read the King James version of the Bible.

Most of this work was carried out by the nuns, who took vows of poverty and could teach children for very low wages.

“Without the nuns, you could not have had the parochial school system that this country has had,” said Maggie McGuinness, professor of religion at La Salle University.

Catholic schools were also invaluable in alleviating overcrowded public schools as populations surged in major cities, and giving immigrants a boost up the economic ladder, said Ann Marie Ryan, associate professor of education at Loyola University Chicago.

���(The nuns) moved entire groups of people into the middle class, which is a substantial feat in and of itself,” she said.

Still, anti-Catholic sentiment proved pervasive. As Catholic groups tried to obtain public funding for their schools in the late 1800s, states began passing Blaine amendments, which restricted state legislatures from using funds for religious schools. Today, 37 states have these laws.

Oregon even instituted a law, backed by the Ku Klux Klan, that prohibited students from attending Catholic school. The U.S. Supreme Court struck this down in Pierce vs. The Society of Sisters in 1925.

As the sisters fought for their students’ rights to be educated in Catholic schools, they also found themselves fighting against the church patriarchy for their own pursuit of higher education. As Ryan wrote, “The Catholic Church’s hierarchy in the USA was worried about the movement toward increased independence for women in this era.” To fill a need for higher education among Catholic-educated girls, more nuns began seeking Ph.D.s so they could lead Catholic colleges for women. But this pursuit of independence didn’t sit well with their governing bishops, and they pushed back.

For example, in the 1930s and ’40s, the archdiocesan board of Chicago mandated that nuns could not travel outside a convent or school without being accompanied by another woman, and even went so far as to tell the president of a neighboring college that nuns should not show up to their classes without a female companion. They were also not to go outside after sunset.

Mission statements of all-girls Catholic schools reflected the sisters’ challenge of balancing what the church considered the natural role of women with many young women’s desires for independence, Ryan wrote. When the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary established Mundelein College in 1930 in Chicago, they crafted goals that showed these dual perspectives: “(Mundelein education is) practical, preparing the student for successful achievement in the economic world,” but also “conservative, holding fast to the time-honored traditions that go to the fashioning of charming and gracious womanhood.”

“(The nuns) highlighted and equally lauded their graduates’ choices to marry, seek employment, enter a religious community, or attend college,” Ryan wrote.

In her research, Ryan found Catholic high school yearbooks that revealed what this opportunity meant to young women. At Chicago’s Catholic Mercy High School in 1927, the students published quotes from Tennyson’s poem The Princess: “Here might we learn whatever men are taught…knowledge is now no more a fountain sealed.” Sixty percent of Mercy’s graduates around this time attended college (nationally, female enrollment in higher education was 44 percent).

At a time when women were barred from many universities, nuns became their advocates. Catholic sisters established 150 religious colleges for women in the United States, starting in the late 1800s. Before coeducation of men and women became the norm, more women were earning degrees from Catholic colleges than those run by other religious groups, according to The Boston Globe. And the nuns’ own pursuit of higher education broke glass ceilings: The first woman to obtain a Ph.D. in computer science was a nun: Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, in 1965.

“They were role models,” McGuinness said. “If you went to Trinity University in D.C. in 1897 and had teachers who had doctorates, maybe you think, ‘I could do that, too.’”

Maya certainly experienced that when an older nun, Sister Rosa Maria Icaza, told her what she had to go through to earn her doctorate from Catholic University. Because enrollment was limited to men, the nun had to sit outside the classroom, near the door, rather than inside with her male classmates. “I thought, ‘Thanks to a woman like this, I could get a Ph.D.,’” Maya said.

Today, however, the number of religious leaders in the Catholic Church is declining, including nuns. From 1965 to 2017, the number of sisters decreased from 179,000 to 45,000, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate. And even in the face of this decline, the women who join the religious life are still finding themselves under fire from within their own church. As recently as 2012, American nuns were accused by the Vatican for being radical feminists.

The loss of nuns as a teaching force is one reason running Catholic schools is more financially challenging than ever before, Maya said. Catholic school enrollment peaked in the 1960s and has dropped significantly since then. In 1965, about 5 million children attended Catholic elementary and secondary schools. In 2017, enrollment was just under 2 million. The number of Catholic schools was cut in half, from 11,000 to 6,000, during that same time period.

Catholic schools today have been experimenting with different business models to survive, from the Cristo Rey schools that utilize student work study to help pay for tuition to Philadelphia Catholic schools that have been using tax-credit scholarships and voucher programs to pay tuition for poor families.

And their students no longer come primarily from their local church — many see Catholic schools as a better alternative to poor-performing urban schools. “In many major cities, Catholic schools are a parent’s best hope for both Catholic and non-Catholic kids,” McGuinness said.

Maya said she is proud of the work Catholic schools are continuing to do to reach the children who need it most.

“The sisters were always teaching the populations in the margins,” Maya said. Without these women, “I don’t think the U.S. Catholic education system would exist the way we know it.”

[queeriboh]

thinking about Kaiba's original mission statement before his big goal became Beat Yugi. thinking about how he built Kaiba Land with the idea of making it free for underprivileged children. thinking about how much that space station and elevator must have cost and how many orphans he could have fed and clothed and advocated for with that money instead. thinking about his private paramilitary hit squad after vowing to destroy Kaiba Corp's affiliation with war and violence. thinking about how Mokuba will handle all these assets when he takes over.

a while ago I said I could see Mokuba wanting to destroy the mansion and all its bad memories, but the more I think of it, that feels more like a Seto Solution. maybe instead, Mokuba thinks about the mission statement. maybe he converts the massive, empty mansion into an orphanage, one that actually cares for the children who grow up there, that provides the best level of childcare and education available. maybe he can't ever get rid of the awful memories those halls hold for him, but maybe they can bring hope to someone else.

maybe Seto will be proud when he returns.

   Once upon a time… there was a prince who did not do very much.

   Why should he? He was a prince, after all, born to the lap of luxury, born into a world that did not know war or famine. Contentedness spread far and wide. But he was still a prince.

   And princes were expected to do things. The sort of things that made for good publicity for the royal family, such as participating in the lawmaking process or make appearances at orphanages to look kind-hearted by playing with underprivileged children. This prince, however, had no such desires to appear even vaguely in public, let alone political.

   This prince’s name was Yusaku and Prince Yusaku was a very lazy young man, to the chagrin of his mother the Queen, to his royal bodyguard Shoichi, and even his personal jester, Ai. He simply had a listless personality, he would claim. He would prefer to keep to himself in his room sleeping than do anything else, be it civic minded or otherwise.

   And so, his bodyguard and jester had a marvellous idea together on how to put some pep in their prince’s step.

   “Hail, Queen,” Shoichi began, “I have an idea for our predicament.”

   “We have an idea.” Ai piped up, miffed that he would be excluded from such prestigious planning. Irony totally lost on him since Prince Yusaku was entirely unaware that such plans existed as he was currently lazing his bedchambers rather than sitting with his Mother in the parlour where they took audience.

   Queen listened intently and gave blessing to the pair’s plan. It would only be for a week. Less than, even. It’s not like there were any pressing engagements young Prince Yusaku needed to attend and were there any, it was not as if Prince Yusaku was likely to attend, let alone in a lively manner so begone with him and the others, she supposed.

   Maybe some fresh air would be good for him. So long as an eye was kept on him. It was dreadful what had happened to that Prince from the Kingdom of Hanoi. Just up and disappeared. No body was found, no news to follow.

   Prince Yusaku meanwhile was not as blase about this like his mother was. He was entirely uninterested in going out into the big, wide world and doing even the most minimal of efforts like camping at one of their more neglected castles in the furthest wing of the kingdom. 

   The forests around here were dense and evergreen in shine, hail, or snow. The weather itself was pleasant and balmy however. The trek to getting this far out into the country was tedious with all the parading and having to say hello to people of all stations. It really tired and exhausted Prince Yusaku who was given some time to rejuvenate in one of the dusty rooms of the castle.

   He could completely understand why this particular dwelling of theirs had fallen to the wayside. The castle was unfashionable by today’s standards, or more importantly his Mother’s. It was just a touch too far from civilisation to be properly connected to trade routes and merchants. Not enough folk in the village to staff it when there were more practical and immediate ways of earning money than serving the upper class here who used it as an infrequent holiday home.

   Still, for the time being, Prince Yusaku enjoyed some time to himself… for a few precious hours. Once it turned to the next day, his retainers Ai and Shoichi were all over him like the bedbugs in the linen which was already here - and he had refused to use.

   Bombastic and bawdy, Ai and Shoichi took him into the forest for some fishing of all things. Prince Yusaku was dragged along like a rag doll behind his two good men, forced to carry things like the fishing rods and bait, even the lunch they had brought for a picnic. His poor, weak noodle arms could not take holding one of these things, let alone all of them.

   Prince Yusaku was more than excited to finally have to put them down because as it would turn out, fishing was an entirely suitable pursuit for him. Just sitting and staring at the water. Perfect. He would pretend to get a bite here and there but really he was just sleeping with his eyes open.

   The water of the lake was pristine as it reflected the sun and sky above. The surrounds were large and tranquil. The lake itself, and all its contents like the fish and molluscs, werekingdom property, technically, so there were no pesky intruders. There was sure to be a fine or similar to be inflicted were someone not with royal blessing and permission were to use it. Assuming they were caught or dobbed on. 

   As they fished, Ai and Shoichi made small talk. Yusaku vaguely listened in.

   “Did anyone else feel like the lodgings were weirdly… lived in? Despite being abandoned so long? Like the kettle in the kitchen and some of the pots and pans. Way cleaner and more used than I was expecting.”

   No, Prince Yusaku did not notice that. He yawned to himself. At least to show he was listening and that he was reacting, even if he was terribly bored by it.

   “I know exactly what you mean,” Ai agreed, nodding his head, “it was surprisingly tidy in the banquet hall, too. As though someone had gone through to make sure all the chairs were lined up but a couple seemed more used than others. If that makes any sense.”

   Ai and Shoichi hummed thoughtfully. Very strange, very odd. Or at least that’s what they thought.

   “Maybe the Castle is haunted.” Ai suggested.

   “By one of Yusaku’s ancestors, perhaps?” Shoichi snickered.

   “I’m going to go for a walk, if you don’t mind. Just around the circumference of the lake.” Prince Yusaku announced. “I simply can’t lose precious braincells with your bizarre speculation. There are no such things as ghosts.” He huffed.

   Ai and Shoichi gasped. They never thought they would have seen the day. Let alone so early! Their Prince Yusaku was… doing something? Of his own volition? Heaven forbid, so surely. And the dramatics that ensued from them both just convinced Prince Yusaku that as nice as sitting was, he would much prefer to get away from them. Just for a little bit, he would still be within eyesight of them both as he got up and began his walk around the lake.

   The weather continued to be pleasant the further away from the bottom of the lake, where the dock was, Prince Yusaku was pleased to discover. The mud underfoot was not too soft nor too mushy that he was prone to sinking in it. Distantly a lovely and cool wind blew gently. He could hear it in the treetops that rustled, too, same with birdsong and the chitter of squirrels or other, woodland creatures. 

   Not to think about his future or anything but Prince Yusaku could see himself retiring here one day. That would surely be nice. He just had to get to the age of retirement. The age of which was arbitrary at best considering there had been members in his family tree who had come into their position as king or queen before they left the nursemaid’s tit and those who had retired when they had been beheaded who were barely older than he was now.

   Prince Yusaku continued to wander. Just slowly following the round curve of the lake. Just listening to the birds and the squirrels and the cicadas, too. It was all very peaceful and from across the lake, it occurred to Prince Yusaku how far he had walked. He wondered how long it had taken him. Ai and Shoichi from across the lake were so very small on his horizon now. He wondered if he looked the same to them.

   He thought about waving to them but they were having a grand time fishing. He watched as they reeled in something of a large size, water flicking up and Prince Yusaku smiled. They were having fun and that’s all that mattered.

   He looked away for just a moment and something caught his eye in amongst the trees. A flash of white. He blinked. Prince Yusaku did not believe in ghosts but he did believe in intruders and trespassers.

   He took one step closer and he saw that person. Not upright, not trying to walk away but merely trying to escape into the undergrowth, crawling on the ground like a worm. In suffering. Muted grunts and groans.

   Prince Yusaku hurried his pace as he tried to find this person in the long grass and shrubs. He put his knee down to their side.

   “Are you okay?” Prince Yusaku asked.

   He was past the threshold of the forest with this person. A young man in servile clothes akin to that of Ai and Shoichi’s but the fashion of white with hints of silver, yellow, and red: another country. The one which bordered on this very forest, actually. Prince Yusaku licked his lips as he tried to get information from this person as he held his chest.

   “D-Don’t worry about me.” he said. “It's my Master I’m - we - should be more worried about.” His voice was strained as he dealt with whatever affliction of his chest which had him agonised so.

   “Your Master?” Prince Yusaku echoed.

   “We were attacked by a witch,” he said. “Th-This witch put a curse on us both. We’ve been doing, argh-” He screamed in pain, he tried to still himself but in this wounding, his legs thrashed involuntarily.

   Prince Yusaku flinched.

   “We’ve been surviving as best we can until we can remedy this curse but alas.” this man continued to speak through gritted teeth and a sheen of sweat.

   Prince Yusaku's heart hammered in his chest. He was really not the person who should have encountered this wounded man and his missing master. Ai or better yet, Shoichi, would have been much better. They weren’t too far, however.

   “Let me get you to my henchmen, they can help.” Prince Yusaku said.

   “No.” the man spat. “The witch told us that this curse-” he yelled again in pain, his fingers raking through his chest and under the white of his blouse, Prince Yusaku noticed he had something underneath which jutted out, it looked almost like a strip of iron but surely he had to be mistaken. “A kiss from a royal is the only way.”

   Prince Yusaku had to bite his tongue before he let out a very loud and very rude “Huh?” in response.

   “Master Ryoken! Where are you?!” this man yelled at the top of his lungs.

   Loud enough to make birds fly away, for squirrels to scatter, and for a frog to jump closer to him. To atop his shoulder, even. He didn’t seem to mind, in fact he smiled. His eyes were blurry as he turned his head but his expression softened. The frog was unusually coloured: white with lilac stripes. 

   “Master Ryoken, thank goodness…” the man murmured and then he turned his gaze unto Prince Yusaku again. “This is… This is my Master Ryoken, transformed by the witch’s curse and I. My heart is bound in iron, too. I - I fear my heart cannot go on much longer with this bondage and this grief. Oh, please, gods, save my Master Ryoken.”

   “I’m… My name is Prince Yusaku of the Sol Kingdom. Allow me to help.” Prince Yusaku declared.

   “My word,” the servant gasped, “truly fortune smiles upon me.”

   He near fainted promptly after. Unable to hold himself up much longer, he let go his chest and his body went limp against the trunk of the tree. The frog on his shoulder pawed pitifully at his sweaty, pale face. As though with real and genuine concern, not like a pet but no… Prince Yusaku had to be rational. He was anthropomorphising this frog.

   All in all, Prince Yusaku wasn’t sure how much he believed this servant and that his master was a frog transmogrified but Prince Yusaku did believe that this man was severely hurt. Possibly made delusion or otherwise delirious by the very real affliction upon his body. But maybe if he indulged this alleged witch’s curse’s remedy, he could gain his trust and get him to safety.

   Prince Yusaku reached for the frog and scooped it up off the man’s shoulder. The servant watched with a tear glimmering his eye and a loose, wonky smile as he held his breath in abated hope.

   Prince Yusaku was certain, to himself at least, to disappoint. Nevertheless, he brought the frog closer to his mouth and kissed it on its own. The frog was soft and slimy, Prince Yusaku almost gagged but there was no time to ruminate on the taste of rising bile and other displeasures as the most impossible and marvellous thing happened. A miracle occurred. 

   From out of his hands, the weight of the frog grew heavier until Prince Yusaku let go. A bright, blue and white light erupted from the frog. In this burst, the silhouette of the critter changed from that of a frog, to that of a human who stood tall above him.

   The frog smiled and then brought himself down to one knee, he placed his hand over his heart in the utmost gratitude unto Prince Yusaku. Who could only stare and gape like a beached fish.

   “What in the world…?” he breathed.

   “Thank you, Prince Yusaku of Sol for breaking my curse, I am glad that Spectre was able to find you in our time of need.” he said, his head bowed low, his gaze just slightly towards his servant, Spectre, who had yet to regain strength but was grinning in mad and wild delight that his master’s humanity had been restored. “I am Prince Ryoken of Hanoi, it is good to make your official acquaintance.”

   “Yes, the same.” Prince Yusaku replied. Still very much in shock.

   Prince Ryoken got up and he offered his hand to his servant. Weakly, Spectre raised his hand and was able to place it in Prince Ryoken’s awaiting palm. At the moment of such contact, as Prince Ryoken pulled his servant up, the bonds of Spectre’s heart crumbled. The outline of them beneath his shirt disappeared as he was pulled up - and into a kiss.

   Prince Yusaku blushed, averting his gaze. He would hate to intrude but his presence did not seem to impede the apparent lovers. Not when Prince Ryoken turned his head and offered his other hand to Prince Yusaku.

   “Please,” he said, “allow us to properly introduce ourselves. We have been using your family’s facilities here as Spectre could not bear to bring me back to my kingdom in my sorry state as a frog. Thank you for the hospitality, I hope we did not infringe.”

   Prince Yusaku couldn’t believe that the dithering between Ai and Shoichi had, in actuality, been astute observations. Their castle had been in use. He accepted Prince Ryoken’s hand, pulled up into a three-way embrace.

   “We should celebrate my return to good health, no?” Prince Ryoken asked.

   “I would like that immensely.” Spectre said.

   “Then allow me to bring you back to my castle, as proper guests.” Prince Yusaku offered, knowing full well he would have to do things like entertain and host were he to.

   Yet, somehow, for the first time ever, the lazy prince did feel obligated to at least try and be social and perform regal duties of figuring out inter-kingdom relations. And also how he was going to explain to his retainers that he had gone out for a walk and come back with a seeming lover and concubine. The former of which had just ceased being a frog. 

   Oh goody, Prince Yusaku was certain, Ai and Shoichi were going to love this tall tale but at least it was one with a happy ending.

Sadaqah Jariayh

In Islam, Sadaqah Jariyah represents a unique and powerful form of charity that continues to benefit others long after it has been given, offering perpetual rewards to the giver. The term "Sadaqah Jariyah" is derived from Arabic, where "Sadaqah" means voluntary charity, and "Jariyah" means ongoing or continuous. This form of charity holds a special place in Islamic teachings as it reflects both generosity and foresight, providing lasting benefits to individuals and communities while earning continuous blessings for the donor in this world and the Hereafter.

Spiritual Significance of Sadaqah Jariyah

Sadaqah Jariyah is highly encouraged in Islam because of its enduring impact. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "When a person dies, all their deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them." (Sahih Muslim)

This hadith emphasizes that Sadaqah Jariyah is one of the few deeds that continue to benefit a person after their death. It is seen as a way to leave behind a legacy of goodness that keeps growing, creating a ripple effect of positive change in the lives of others.

Examples of Sadaqah Jariyah

Sadaqah Jariyah can take many forms, depending on the needs of the community and the donor's resources. Some of the most impactful examples include:

Providing Clean Water: Building wells, installing water pumps, or constructing water reservoirs in areas with limited access to clean water can benefit communities for decades, reducing illnesses and improving quality of life.

Building Mosques: Establishing or maintaining a mosque ensures a space for worship, learning, and community gatherings for generations.

Educating Others: Supporting the construction of schools, funding scholarships, or donating books and educational materials spreads knowledge and opportunities, empowering individuals and societies.

Planting Trees: Trees provide shade, fruits, and oxygen while contributing to environmental sustainability. Planting a tree is a simple yet lasting act of charity.

Supporting Orphanages: Setting up or funding orphanages helps provide shelter, education, and care for vulnerable children, shaping their future positively.

Sharing Beneficial Knowledge: Publishing Islamic books, creating educational content, or supporting online platforms that spread knowledge can reach countless people, multiplying the rewards.

The Rewards of Sadaqah Jariyah

Sadaqah Jariyah not only benefits recipients but also brings immense rewards to the giver. It is a form of investment in the Hereafter, as its rewards continue to grow as long as the charitable act provides benefit. Additionally, engaging in Sadaqah Jariyah fosters gratitude and compassion, helping Muslims purify their wealth and strengthen their connection with Allah.

How to Participate

Contributing to Sadaqah Jariyah is accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial capacity. Small acts, such as planting a tree or sharing knowledge, can have a significant impact. Muslims can also collaborate with charitable organizations to fund sustainable projects like building schools, hospitals, or water wells in underprivileged areas.

Conclusion

Sadaqah Jariyah is a profound way to make a lasting impact on the world while securing eternal rewards in the Hereafter. By focusing on projects that provide ongoing benefits, Muslims can contribute to the well-being of future generations, embodying the values of compassion, generosity, and foresight. As Allah reminds us in the Quran: "The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261)

Through Sadaqah Jariyah, we can sow seeds of goodness that flourish long after we are gone, leaving a legacy of mercy, hope, and blessings.

Jayesh Saini Leads a Healthcare Revolution in Kenya with His Family

When it comes to healthcare, Kenya has faced its fair share of challenges, from accessibility issues to limited resources. Yet, amidst these challenges, one name shines bright as a beacon of hope: Jayesh Saini. With a passion for healthcare and a commitment to uplifting communities, Jayesh and his family have been at the forefront of revolutionizing public healthcare in Kenya. Through their visionary leadership, they have built institutions that not only address immediate medical needs but also create a sustainable path for the future.

A Family Rooted in Healthcare

The Saini family’s journey into healthcare began decades ago with a clear mission: to provide compassionate, high-quality care to Kenyans. Inspired by his father, who was also a healthcare professional, Jayesh Saini has carried forward a legacy of excellence. His sister, Dr. Mina Saini, serves as a key pillar in this mission, managing operations and ensuring that the family’s institutions maintain the highest standards.

Their commitment to healthcare isn’t just professional—it’s deeply personal. Jayesh’s passion stems from witnessing the challenges Kenyans face when accessing healthcare, especially in rural areas. Determined to bridge this gap, the Saini family established Lifecare Hospitals and Bliss Healthcare, creating a network of facilities that serve both urban and underserved regions.

A New Era of Accessible Healthcare

Under Jayesh Saini’s leadership, Lifecare Hospitals has become synonymous with accessible, affordable, and high-quality care. With facilities in strategic locations such as Nairobi, Bungoma, Eldoret, Kikuyu, Meru, and Migori, they are ensuring that Kenyans no longer have to travel long distances for basic medical services. These hospitals are equipped with advanced technology, state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, and a team of highly skilled medical professionals.

Bliss Healthcare, on the other hand, focuses on outpatient care, offering specialized services at affordable prices. By combining the reach of outpatient clinics with the comprehensive care of Lifecare Hospitals, the Saini family has created a healthcare ecosystem that truly caters to all segments of society.

Harnessing Technology for Better Healthcare

One of the hallmarks of Jayesh Saini’s leadership is the seamless integration of technology in healthcare. Lifecare and Bliss Healthcare have implemented telemedicine services, allowing patients to consult with doctors remotely. Originally introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, this program now serves over 10,000 patients every month. By embracing telemedicine and AI-driven diagnostic tools, they are setting new benchmarks in efficiency and accessibility.

The integration of technology goes beyond patient consultations. AI-powered systems have been implemented to enhance operational efficiency, including Fraud Detection mechanisms. These tools ensure transparency, protect patients from exploitation, and help hospitals maintain integrity in their processes.

Empowering Communities Through CSR

For Jayesh Saini, healthcare is not just about treating illnesses; it’s about building healthier communities. Through the Lifecare Foundation, the family has undertaken numerous initiatives to give back to society. These include organizing free medical camps, supporting orphanages, and funding the education of underprivileged children.

Notably, the foundation has sponsored the education of over 200 orphans, including children from families of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), National Police Service (NPS), and other Civil Servants. This commitment reflects Jayesh’s belief that healthcare and education are the building blocks of a better future.

Building a Sustainable Healthcare Model

In addition to addressing immediate medical needs, the Saini family has a long-term vision for sustainability. They have championed the use of Information Technology (IT) to streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve service delivery. This aligns with Kenya’s Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda, which aims to ensure that every citizen has access to quality healthcare.

Jayesh Saini has consistently emphasized the importance of collaboration between the government and private sector. By working hand-in-hand, both entities can complement each other to achieve better health outcomes. His institutions have partnered with reputable organizations, including Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) and insurance companies, to expand their reach and provide care to even more Kenyans.

Ensuring Fair Practices and Ethical Leadership

Lifecare and Bliss Healthcare have become models of ethical healthcare delivery. Unlike organizations plagued by fraud, scandals, or cartels, the Saini family has built a reputation for transparency and fairness. Their operations are guided by strict policies that prioritize patient welfare, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and effectively.

For example, Lifecare Hospitals have implemented policies to avoid unnecessary procedures, focusing instead on providing only the care that patients truly need. This not only builds trust with patients but also ensures that healthcare remains affordable for everyone.

Expanding Horizons

The future of healthcare in Kenya is bright, thanks to Jayesh Saini’s ambitious vision. Lifecare Hospitals plans to expand its network by opening additional facilities in Kenya and neighboring countries such as Tanzania, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. These hospitals will specialize in areas like cardiology, oncology, and orthopedics, providing advanced care that was previously inaccessible to many East Africans. By 2027, the group aims to have a combined bed capacity of over 4,100 beds, along with centralized diagnostic centers and outpatient clinics. This expansion not only addresses healthcare needs but also creates thousands of jobs, contributing to Kenya’s economic growth.

This initiative has a direct impact on the health and well-being of the elderly, who may otherwise struggle with hunger and malnutrition.

5. Hospital Patients and Their Families

Many public hospitals across India are frequented by people from lower economic backgrounds who often have to travel far for medical treatment. For these families, the expense of food and lodging can be overwhelming. Roti Bank in India helps by providing food to the families of patients and sometimes to patients themselves, easing their financial burden so they can focus on recovery and medical care.

6. Disaster Victims and Communities in Crisis

In times of natural disasters or pandemics, vulnerable communities often face severe food shortages. Roti Bank in India steps up during these emergencies to provide food relief to affected areas. This quick response is crucial for those displaced by floods, droughts, earthquakes, or other crises, ensuring that these communities can survive until more long-term relief is available.

7. Underprivileged Students and Children in Slums

Hunger has a significant impact on a child’s ability to learn and thrive academically. Roti Bank helps students in under-resourced areas, such as slums or underserved communities, by providing meals that support their nutritional needs. This can lead to better concentration, higher school attendance rates, and improved academic performance.

8. Waste-Conscious Individuals and Communities

In addition to helping the hungry, Roti Bank in India also promotes awareness of food waste among individuals, hotels, and restaurants. By collecting excess food from events, homes, and restaurants, the organization not only reduces waste but also addresses the food scarcity issue. For environmentally conscious individuals, supporting Roti Bank offers a meaningful way to contribute to both social and environmental causes.
