Beyond Colonialism |

Beyond Colonialism My attempts at documenting the British Colonial Experience in Kenya- from a grassroots perspective. Most of my sources are the elderly mamas and wazee I have interviewed, most in the Kisumu area. However, I also draw on history, current events, as well as related stories and topics around the globe.
I am originally from the US, and a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Living in Kenya for the second time, I hoping to dialogue with other bloogers about colonialism, racial and economic justice, and cross-cultural affairs.
I was inspired to explore this subject after living in three very different parts of Kenya (Nairobi, outskirts of Kisumu, and rural Kitui) and not being able to communicate well with elderly people due to language. I also seriously re-examined my views on racial justice after returning to the U.S.- and I hope to use this project as an educational tool on that subject. Finally, images of Africa in the western world are distorted. With this project and the voices of the people I've interviewed, I hope to paint a more accurate, if not positive, picture of Kenya and Africa as a whole- as a person who has lived in both places.

The Happenings in Kenyan swimming specifically at The Nairobi Swimming Association and in Kenya in General with relevant input from other sources in the rest of the World.
Kenyan Swimming has recently had a huge Boost by the breaking of an Olympic Record by one of the Top Swimmers even if it was for a few minutes that the record was held - This was a HUGE achievement NOT ONLY for Jason Dunford BUT for Kenyan Swimming.
With this sort of success, WHY is Kenyan Swimming NOT making a bigger impact on Kenyan Youth? WHY is Swimming NOT being promoted in ALL parts of this country - INDEED WHY isn't sport given the sort of emphasis that it deserves?
WHY DON'T we have a fully fledged Sports Stadium in Every constituency in Kenya? That is a Stadium with at least an Athletics Track & Field, A Football Filed, A Basketball Court and a Swimming Pool for a minimum?
WHY DON'T we use the Kazi Kwa Vijana Project to promote sports by conducting training Clinics to the Vijana (they get paid to attend) and then they can be released to the Field to train the Youth in the various sports?
Swimming Would gain a great deal from an initiative like this. We could have 1,000 young people trained inLife Saving and given basic Swimming Teaching skills so that they could be sent out to teach the youth.
This way you will have created Jobs that have a future instead of getting these young people to collect Garbage and doing what the Councils should be doing!
Kenya Swimming Federation - are you there?
