It's still preaching :)
Nonetheless, strong and comforting words...
 
Wish all those Current success in their preparations.
I would also wish to appreciate the moderators( brtsimon,mom), @SusieQQQ ,@dada,@rogers.com(dv 2014) and many others who took time to give moral and invaluable support at the time of need.

Hi, it's long time, just our of curiosity Since its confirmed you are current- I remember you being torn between American baby and Kenyan baby and the debate about hefty hospital charges;In new jersey, there is an immediate(medicaid) insuarance from the state for legal immigrants as long us they qualify and all pregnant automaticall qualify http://www.njfamilycare.org/imm_info.aspx. NB, they categorically say it does not make you a public charge.when my family landed I just called them.application is through online, office visit or phone call.i called them and within 20 Minutes my family got covered(I was exempted) since I had an existing plan.my friend in Baltimore dv 2014 can also guide you on how he qualified and he co- pay very llittle I stand to be corrected on this;
Please note: Families accessing NJ FamilyCare benefits will NOT be considered a "Public Charge".* check the highlight NOT in red color in the link

Hi, usken good to hear from you.I hope you are well settled-btw...As I was going through my last posting I realized the last topics we discussed with you was about how people manage 2 jobs and arithmetic issue.I could not explain to you then but am sure you have some information now.

so one job can sustain you in the US??

certainly.
you need to prepare well, most people do this by going back to school or doing business.
I went to a Kenyan restaurant, very disappointing and over priced services but it was packed anyway...

Went to an Ethiopian restaurant and got good food and services and the place was also full.
I am somehow persuaded that hardworking entrepreneurs and well educated people do not need to overwork for survival but for prosperity.
 
No, his views come from living somewhere where corrupt politicians resign, even if it is just something like a travel expense scandal.... I've said before, there are many things someone who has only ever lived in a safe first world country just cannot comprehend about living in certain developing countries.
Remembering the topic of this debate and comparing Kenya with even the worlds top economy sometimes leaves me frustrated.
I was glad to hear Obama outline his agenda in Kenya- quote " an incredibly blessed country which is sometimes held back by corruption"
Karibu Obama and tell it to us in our own faces.
