My name is Reverend Wilson Loilole Laiser.
I'm from Arusha, Tanzania.
I'm very happy that we are going to begin
a World Transformation Movement Centre in Tanzania.
We are very happy for this. Thank you.
I'm born in Arusha, Tanzania. My parents were animal keepers.
We are the Maasai. My father married only one woman which is my mother.
However, the Maasai used to be polygamous, but my parents
decided to marry just as single parents, a marriage of two people.
So I grew up here, I studied school here.
After I finished my O-levels, I went to a seminary to join pastoral training,
and I completed that, and I started to be a pastor, full pastor ordinate,
ordained since 1982.
I went to the interior to the Maasai society to begin a new mission,
which they called The Living Water Mission, Simanjiro, in what they call the Maasai Steppe.
I grew there, shifting my experience, my knowledge,
talking about the word of God with people, gathering the society.
But I started learning something there, when I was meeting different people
of different faiths and different beliefs and different denominations.
That something started making enlightenment in my heart.
I started thinking how to help them, how to reach all the people
regardless of the denomination of the people by my side.
I thought we all need to be together, we all need to be one.
We all need to share ideas and be thinking about how to get out together.
We are facing all the same common problems, common life,
common depressions and things like that.
Then I started again.
In fact I started several centres in those areas and even here in Arusha,
I started several centres, and I have managed to be a pastor—
which is touching people, by the way, in my country, in Kenya,
and in Uganda too, I went to Uganda conducting seminars
with ministers without regard to their denomination.
And that made my denomination not so happy about me,
because I have been conducting these seminars with different people,
not only within my denomination,
but outside my denomination, and even to Muslim too.
And even now I'm also a leader in what they call here in Tanzania, ‘Meridiano’.
Meridiano is the gathering of denomination leaders
and I am a regional secretary of this society
where we meet with Muslims, we meet with Christians,
we meet with priests of various denominations,
and even Buddhists, even Hindus, natural religion people.
So that is my life
and I have been conducting people here and there talking about common issues.
I also join in politics a little bit because I wanted to help in politics.
In politics if we can change people, because I saw
that in one way or another politicians are also…
they speak good things, but they are pressing people down.
And I think that we need enough freedom of expression
and freedom of thinking and ideas
to see how to get out of these depressions,
to release the inner manhood [soul], to give them freedom
in order to express themselves, to live their life as it was before,
according to 'Creation' [before the emergence of the human condition].
Creation created things free and we need to be free.
So when I read about the World Transformation Movement,
I saw that this is something that we can sit together
and see what to do together in this world and cause a real transformation
which is most needed to the life of human beings.
So I'm very happy that now I'm with them
and I think that this is just the beginning.
I'm looking forward to see what will be happening in future
for our people in Tanzania, in Africa and in the entire world.
I felt very good. I felt very good.
That is the first thing that touched me deeply when I watched that Interview.
And not only one interview, I watched different interviews
from different people around the world, I tried to follow,
so I was eager to be, maybe I will be one of them!
Because it was very touching. It really touched me.
I don't know how to explain it,
but it's really, really, really, really, really, it is very good.
It is something that is most needed in the world,
that kind of people, to think about life,
to explain the human condition and so on like that.
So I felt very, very good.
And I would like to touch these things in me in this area too.
'Ubuntu’ [humanity] is the word that all African countries know about.
But in Swahili we don’t say 'Ubuntu', we say ‘Utu’,
however we know what is 'Ubuntu'.
In Maasai language, our traditional language,
we say ‘Endung'anisho'.
And the goodness about Ubuntu, Utu and Endung'anisho
is that if we really explain it well,
introduce it to people, to the society of African people and
maybe the entire people in the world,
it will bring people back to their [soulful, loving] nature
where they can enjoy their life,
enjoy their human being.
Enjoy their freedom, enjoy their brotherhood
and love, and get joy, because of Ubuntu.
Africa will be a very good place for the World Transformation Movement
because we feel that we are more depressed than others. So we need it. We really need it!
Thank you Mr Jeremy for bringing Ubuntu, Utu and Endung'anisho
into these centres of the World Transformation Movement .
We are very happy about it!
I thank you for that and I welcome you to continue together into our Oneness,
to explain Ubuntu, Utu and Endung'anisho to the entire world!
Thank you again and may God bless you.
