AYICC-KENYA at Star FM Radio

-
AYICC-Kenya has been privileged with an opportunity at Star FM Radio where a member of AYICC gets to co~host the mid-morning programme with Mr.Duncan Rachuonyo. This is a programme which highlights environmental issues, the youth, leadership, women and development issues affecting the community especially in North eastern province.

On the 26th February we started on this initiative. Fatma Hassan, a new enthusiastic student member, honored our first representation where she bravely co-hosted the show alongside Mr.Rachuonyo. It was a success judging from the kind of response and indulgence that the show received.
Among the issues that we tackled included;
  • Education
  • Youth (Unemployment,leadership,drug abuse)
  • Tribalism
  • Women (Lack of opportunities in education and leadership)
  • Rape
  • Underdevelopment
  • The Environmental

It was realised there is need for more awareness on with the environmental issues in the North Eastern province.The communities in the region have very little or no knowledge about environmental issues, how to protect and nurture the environment for their own good.This is a niche that young people can take on to educate these communities. Lets hear your take on this.....

With much Appreciation to Star FM Radio Station

IT IS TIME FOR AFRICA TO BUILD ITS OWN CAPACITY

By Fredrick Ochieng’ Ouma                                                                                                            In the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC), all the countries who are party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the beloved offspring of the Earth Summit, were supposed to submit during the 21 st Conference of Parties, countries outlined their emissions stoppage years and when they expect to start the decline in their emissions. More than three-quarters of Parties to UNFCCC submitted these INDCs with a commitment to specific timelines and figures, whether your emissions were significant or not. In fact, the Underdeveloped and the developing countries with insignificant emissions had the most ambitious INDCs. What stands to highlight the difference between these countries or negotiation blocks, is how they stand to use the period between Paris to the specific years they commit to stop further emissions.

Writing compelling motivation letters for your scholarship/degree applications

AYICC-Kenya volunteers look into the future-courageously  I am writing this because I know there is a dire need for most of our volunteers to pursue a postgraduate (sometimes even the first degree), get a scholarship or whatever grant it might be. So this is for you. If you would like me to write on something else specific to academic progress, do leave a comment below. And of course additions, and corrections are welcome too! When you are told to write a motivation letter, the selection committee is basically asking you to pitch your dream and make it real so that they can give you the money/opportunity to actualize it . In the first one paragraph, they should (must) know who you are, what your professional goal is, and they must locate your capabilities.  E.g. I am xx years old Kenyan, with a bachelor’s/Msc degree in xx from xx university and applying for this scholarship/degree programme because of my professional interests/experiences in public policy and community develop
