2) The concept "Others"

The word "Others" appearing as the title of this page expresses two things:

1) It is a place where all the other relevant topics not covered under the available topics on this School project website can be found.

2) This page briefly examines the meaning of KWAUSO School Project as an attempt to pay attention to the condition of other people. Therefore as title of the page the word "others" carries the sense it has in the phrase, "Education for responsible Service of Others".

3) The name "KWAUSO"

The word"Kwauso" is created by bringing together two words in Kiswahili language where,

"KWA" could mean "to", "for", or "through".

"USO" simply means "Face". The new word stands for the meaning, "Through and to the honor of the Merciful Face of Our Lord"

Such a name suggests a dimension that goes beyond the considerations of mere philanthropy.   

Elsewhere the word USO was used as a title of a book in Kiswahili (pictured below) that examines facts and opinions about the controversial image on the Shroud of Turin. The two later books Zawadi-Kumbukumbu, 2002 and Tuitazame Alama Ile Kuu, 2020 (also pictured below)  by the same author examine the same subject. Before this image millions of people, including Pope John Paul II, feel deeply attracted to think of the suffering of their brothers and sisters.  Once, Pope John Paul II had the following to say about it: “For every thoughtful person it is a reason for deep reflection, which can even involve one’s life… Before the Shroud, how can we not think of the millions of human beings who die of hunger …of the millions of human beings who live in hardship and humiliation on the edges of great cities, especially in developing countries?”

Some people will look at this Face

 and then leave,

 but not without an unresolved puzzle

continually recurring to their mind:

“Who is this man?”

Others will look at him,

 and after a long gaze

at the suffering he endured

 they will joyfully hold on gazing even longer

 with a fascinating understanding

 in their heart:

 That
 It is the Lord

 calling them away from themselves

to serve others
 as he did.

1. Huyu kakamilisha yake kazi….........Benderaye kapeperusha mtini;

   Uso wake mtulivu kwa ushindi..….. Wimbo wake “Nimetimiza tabiri!”   

 2.   Yeye hana umbo wala uzuri…….Amepigwa kwa sababu ya  wadhambi;

      Ubavu wake kachomwa ni mkuki......Na mara kukatoka damu  na maji;
      3.    Ni mingi mijeledi wote mwili………Alivikwa taji  miiba kichwani;
                Ililia nyundo na misumari…………Watesi wakimfungia msalabani.

        4. Ni dhihaka ni mate ni matusi........…Akibebeshwa msalaba kwa kejeli;

Alitokwa jasho-damu awali……....…Na mieleka si michache njiani.

5. Naye kishateswa hata kifoni………Ghilibu ya mauti kwake batili;

Imeachwa kumbukumbu pichani……..Ushuhuda wa pendole na zawadi.

5) KWAUSO School logo explained.

Meaning of the School Logo:

The context of the project is Africa. Someone is struggling to rise. Another person who cares wants to help.  Standing at the top this caring person extends their hand in the intention to reach out to the other in order to help them rise. The effort to do that is expressed in the form of Education which Kwauso School will provide. For that reason the person who is struggling to come up has their leg supported by KWAUSO. One notes also that both of these individuals are emotionally satisfied at the thought of their readiness  to serve. The words, "Yes, I would love to Serve" unite them: The one on top is happy to be rendering his service while the other one struggles to rise in order to acquire a greater ability to serve his/her brethren.
