This blog site was started by the first cohort from East Africa to benefit from the Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships for Masters programmes at the Institute of Education, University of London. The over 20 members made a decision during their study to find a strategy for continued collaboration beyond that period. This blog site, along with other initiatives was borne out of this decision.

ELDER'S REFLECTION II (13th March, 2009)
Here again, Farah Goes....
Thanks man for the great insights
Lings
Dear Scholars,
It is again with great pleasure that we make reflections together. Today marks two months of our stay in the Queen's empire. It has been great experience and a life one for that matter. May I with your humble permission make a further reflection.
We are at the epitome of our mission, clutching bags and papers, clicking the lap keyboards, crumbling academic pieces together, cruising between Adams and Bedford, Crossing Russell Square and cooking sumptous meals and crash to our bed as we pay tribute to the Almighty for the provisions and blessings
AND Lest we forget we are where we are because;
Togerther we stood united, stormed the ladders and celebrated the fruits
Together we stand to make history as the pioneers of this programme the realization of EA Scholars of CW.
Together we stand to be judged harshly if we fail to support each other, lean on a colleague for support, share resources and sail through the storm.
Together we believe .....Together we can
YES WE CAN!
Farah.

GREAT REFLECTIONS FROM THE ELDER
Thought this should not simply be wasted in or be deleted from our emails' inboxes. It reminded me of the great wisdom (i might not be so accurate though); The youths will dream while the elders will see visions (Wazee wataota ndoto, vijana wataona maono).

Dear All,
Let me deflect your minds from Fizza's humour. Take a seat, place your feet on the floor, take a breath and relax. You are in London for a complete month. Yesterday marked the end of our first month since arrival here. The issue is to reflect on your attainments :May i enumerate a few;
Settled, kitchen space and cooking skills
Stipends and a few purchase here and there
Oyester card and London tour
Fast and crochet walk to study rooms
Academic engagements and proposal writing projections
Group activities and establishing contacts
Caplits and computer skills
Definitely we on course, but lest we forget our mission here. Reflect as individual and make plans for the remaining days and months. SET clear and achievable targets and ENSURE to leave here with a clear mind set and materials for your dissertation.
Cheers
