President Kikwete arrives in London for a ground breaking International Family Planning Summit

President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete is received at the Regency Hyatt Churchhill hotel in London today July 10, 2012 ready to attend a two-day a ground breaking International Family Planning Summit.

The Summit is scheduled to launch a Global Movement to give an additional 120 million women in the World’s poorest countries, access to lifesaving family planning information, services and supplies by 2020.

The United Kingdom’s Government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with the support of UNFPA and other partners, are hosting the summit, whose envisaged increased access will enable these women and girls to choose whether, when and how many children to have.

This Summit is a collective opportunity to generate global commitments to increase access to family planning and, in doing so, accelerate the achievement of MDGs 4 (reducing child mortality) and 5 (improving maternal health) – including MDG target 5b (reproductive health) – as well as MDG target 6a (HIV prevention).

It will build on the momentum created by the UN Secretary General's Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health, “Every Woman, Every Child”, and the innovative public-private and civil society partnerships that are developing through the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition (RHSC) and their Hand to Hand Campaign.

Leaders from developing and developed countries, donors, civil society groups and the private sector will come together behind a simple vision: to give women in the developing world the same access to lifesaving family planning as women in the developed world.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja.
