‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.’We could all learn something from this well-known Bible verse. Looking beyond the religious overtones, there is a message to be found in this for everyone. Everything begins with a word. Words consist of vibration and sound. It is these vibrations that create the very reality that surrounds us. The choices we make with our language sets the parameters for our lives. The skill of expression we possess can contribute to many facets of our ability to succeed personally and professionally. The real power in words is their meaning and interpretation. That is also the real power in life and so to enhance our array of knowledge and vocabulary,

Ahead of the call, the participants were asked to create a collage of what we think depicts "The Power Of Words". The call followed by a Baraza Session where the participants displayed their inquisitiveness on topics such as gossips, verbal bullying, impact of language on life etc. The meeting ended with a final summary given by the representatives of each baraza group and how they thought language affects them in daily life. From sharing life experiences to making some new memories, the session was highly interactive.
