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).

On Fri, 2/13/09, Farah Olad, WROTE:
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

Farah

You too can Start a new Post

It has been encouraging so far to see the response towards this experiment. Yes, it is still only an experiment until we all agree if we want to continue and come up with some rules to guide the Blog.
Meanwhile, I have attached all our e-mails as Team Members which means that we can all start New Posts, besides making comments on what others have said. Feel free to start a topic of discussion that you think will capture our minds and provoke meaningful discussions.

I have used this photo without getting the consent of all in the photo only during this trial period. If any of you in the photo are not comfortable please let me know. Please do not post photos of people without their consent (I am not a good example!!) Also acknowldege the photgrapher. The two photos used so far were taken by James Oromait.

Welcome from East Africa Commonwealth Scholars

Welcome to the East Africa Emerging Scholars Forum blog. This forum was initiated by the first cohort from East Africa to recieve the Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships through the Institute of Education, University of London.
You may wonder - Why the broad name of East Africa Emerging Scholars? The idea is to make this an open rather than a closed blog site. By making it open, we allow many other scholars within the broader East Africa region to participate in the sharing of experiences, discussions, and debates. The blog also provides an opportunity to share career and study opportunities to the mutual benefit of all participants.
In order for you to participate, you will need to open a free Google Account. it will take just a couple of minutes to do so and the account is similar to a normal e-mail account. If you do not have the account, you can still read what others have posted but you cannot make your own contributions through postings.
Take this time to open an account if you do not have one and post you views by clicking "Follow this blog"
