What people say?
The work INEND does is very important in our society. People perceive to know so many things and act in certain ways that might not be right, but with your information we have learned things that will help us make better decisions.
John Doe
Boda Boda Leader Nyali
My call to parents worldwide is to embrace our children and celebrate their many talents and abilities rather than focus on judgemental attitudes based on their sexual orientation alone. If collectively all families could embrace and respect their children irrespective of social demands, then homophobia would be a thing of the past.
