Motorola Phone Acessories
by Dennis Kioko 20 Jun '09

20 Jun '09

Hi guys, my outdated Motorola L7i is falling apart as I try to save for the upcoming Android handsets. I have been looking for somewhere where I can purchase original earphones, memory card and key pad. Fone Express don't have the ear phones. I know of a shop at Hilton arcade which sells them at Kshs 1,500. I can't buy there since this guys make Fone Express look like hawkers. -- with Regards: Twitter? what the hell?

Can you help me? Thieves Steal Everything from VOA4SD..
by Crystal Watley 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Dear friends, I am not one for spreading my problems all over town and it is a bit embarrassing to admit, but due to recent events I have to ask for your help. Last Saturday night, armed men broke into my home and office and stole everything we owned. All of my work for VOA4SD is gone. We lost all of our documents, equipment, and even my soap. I am considering what to do next. Likoni is not safe. As I had been saying for the last year, there are too many unemployed youth and there is a great need for opportunities. Without opportunities crime becomes an occupation. I moved to Kenya with good ideas, great ambitions, and mountains of hope. The realities have been difficult, but I have always pressed forward. Now I am praying that God makes a way where there is none. Recently, Kibaki made a speech when he announced the arrival of the TEAMS cable and how important it is for people to work towards creating youth training programs. he made it sound like the most important job in the country. It is the job I have suffered for for more than 2 years only to have everything ripped from under my feet. I need a way to start over here or I will be forced to find a way to leave Africa and return to America. My heart feels like it is being ripped out of my chest with the very thought, but I have to take care of my family. I am attaching my most recent resume here. I pray that someone can help me to find employment, funding, anything to be able to continue. It is not fair to the youth who want change that those who have given into evil pursuits steal their chances at a better life. Thank you for your help. Many blessings, Crystal -- Crystal "Naliaka" Watley Kigoni Voices of Africa for Sustainable Development crystal(a)voicesofafrica.org http://www.voicesofafrica.org/ "You must be the change you wish to see" - Gandhi
