Stanley Dumbei Otuma,the Chairman of One Needs Properties and Construction Ltd, a philanthropist whose passion for human development is immeasurable, One Needs is celebrating his birthday today.
The great icon who could not hide his excitement revealed how rising by lifting others gave him joy and how impacting other people positively had made him an achiever.
Many will spend their lifetime trying to figure out rules to living, however, Stanley Dumbei Otuma not only figured them out but has been living them for almost two decades now.
“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
“So, achievements generally could not necessarily be achievements in terms of material things. There is a way I look at achievement.
“How many people have you impacted in life? How have you changed situations around you? These are areas where one needs to perform well before he is called an achiever. He demonstrates the exact meaning of living by using his talent to serve the world and leaving a lasting impression while serving and mainly a positive impact on the causes that matter to the powerful.
You make each day special just by being yourself around people, you illuminate the darkest moments in the lives of people through your acts of generosity. You are kind and your care for humanity is never in doubt.
If asked, if I have met anyone who has lived all his life being charitable and kind to others I am going to mention you a million times because you are a servant of the poor. The volunteers would say the same because to all of us, you are that humble, happy, and friendly brother, yes, brother because you are always willing and patient to guide people through the right paths and your life is a lesson to us because we learn from your actions. You are unique.
You are one of the most generous, fun, and loving person every young person should cling to, your interest in the growth and the development of youths make me wonder how you make out time for people even with your busy schedules. You are passionate about a lot of things, sometimes I question why you have to do so much but then all of these sums up who you really are. No one or definition better describes the word intentionality but you. You are intentional. You are the best definition of what it means to be intentional.
The journey of feeding families and caring for them in this trying moment as we are faced with the deadly hardship, couldn’t have been possible without you pushing this goal of sustaining the poor in their lack. Many smiled again, many lived, many became hopeful because you gave them reasons to be.
Memories! Memories of men, women and children who danced to the love they received, laughter on the faces of those who couldn’t comprehend the fact that someone remembered them, the tears that flowed from the eyes of those who never expected the love extended, the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God from the poor widow. The reality you brought because you were busy thinking of the poor.
Thanks you Stanley Dumbei Otuma for being a gentle and kind mentor to all in the One Needs foundation, You are an inspiration to everyone, thanks for making available this platform of charity to our people. You remain a shining example for all of us.
It’s your birthday,Stanley Dumbei Otuma, a Humanitarian, a philanthropist without equal, a giver without borders. God continues to shower his blessings of love, grace, peace, health, protection, success, and everything good that you would wish for yourself and your generation would continue to reap the fruits of your goodness.
Happy birthday One Needs. You’re Loved.
