An appeal for your kindness

The Sr Trifa appeal for her “angels”

If you are outside the UK it is cheaper to use Western Union or even the cheaper mall transfer merchants.

AS I wrote in the piece on Sr Trifa De Souza she is on a fund raising safari to the UK but she would like to appeal to all her ex-school mates and friends anywhere in the world to help in a very desperate race: to find enough money to help her primary school “angels” get a secondary school education and from then on a chance in life. Secondary school education is very expensive in Kenya and “every penny, cent or money of any kind” will help.

Sr Trifa will personally acknowledge any help you can give her.

I have an UK bank account where you can deposit your donation via your bank or by electronic transfer.

Please send me an email (skipfer@live.com.au) and I will send you individually the bank account details.

Forgive me if this plea irks you, it is a one time thing and I hope I never have to do it again.

With Thanks in Advance for your kindness.

His young daughter watched helplessly in the back seat of the family car. Pinto, a Member of Parliament at the time, was Kenya’s first political martyr. One man was wrongly accused of his death, served several years in prison and was later released and compensated. Since then no one has been charged with the murder. Now the long-awaited book on Pio Gama Pinto is finally here, launched in Nairobi on 16 October 2018....

Celly Dias: one of Uganda's greatest sportsmen

Celly Dias One of Uganda’s greatest sportsmen By Norman Da Costa Celly Dias will be remembered for his excellence on and off the field. He used his creativity and skills to get to the top. Then he turned his attention indoors and again mastered the intricacies of each sport to reign supreme. Celly was a legend in Uganda and his impact on the field was immediate and profound. He enjoyed the best of two worlds – indoors and outdoors - and even his opponents admired him and spoke in glowing terms of this sportsman. He was a sportsman in the true real sense of the word. Having met and interviewed some of the greatest sportsmen during my career in Kenya and later in Canada one thing that struck me about Celly was that he reminded me of tennis ace Roger Federer - humble and down-to-earth. Celly, who passed away at the age of 94, still followed every sport closely and would analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a batsman or a bowler. This isn’t surprising as Celly p...
