CoKF Scholar Interviewed on Pamoja FM!

This Tuesday, Pamoja FM, Kibera's local radio station, invited CoKF scholar, Kelvin Shilisia, to endorse the scholarship program live. Shilisia, in perfect Kiswahili, pronounced his goals and ambitions post secondary school and encouraged all Class 8 students to apply for the 2011 scholarship. He kindly thanked his sponsors for the opportunity to study at a prestigious boarding school by firmly stating, "Education is the only way out of this poverty." Project Coordinator, Japheth Ochieng, and interns, Joscelyn and Jackie, also spoke of their experiences with CoKF and working with students from the slums. The enthusiastic radio host, Ali, announced the expectations for incoming applicants who are planning to register for the next round of scholarships on May 9th. Ali also let Shilisia "shout out" his family and friends and all of those who have supported him through his secondary education. The group was also given a tour of the studio, which is supported by a volunteer staff and funded solely through donations. Thank you, Pamoja, for giving Kiberans a voice!
