Congratulations:East African Society Winners of International Cultural Night
Yes we did it!! We won the University of Sheffield ’s International Cultural Night (17th March 2007). Yet again the East African Society has shown its true worth.
As president of an award winning East African Society, I wish to thank all the people that steered us to success. Special thanks to the Chair of the Black Students Committee. Importantly I wish to thank the members of the Society who stuck to a theme of not only being a representative society but a participatory society as well. Our dancers literally lit that special night, they were the stars and the ‘Chukua’ tune became our song and the dance resonated across the Octagon. The heroic dancers include:
Olivia Karanja, Lynette Chepkoech, Ronald Dix, John Kamondo, Mbugua Kuria, Elizabeth Mwansia, Daniel Maingi,Micah Mitoko, Catherine Mutonyi, Michael Mwarangu , Sylvie Nyamunga, Anne Okioga and James Muiruri
In addition to winning the International Cultural Night, our Society was also recognised for its winning performance at the International Food Evening. During our last democratic elections held on 27th/10/06, we founded our society to recognize, celebrate, and affirm the East African presence at Sheffield University .My committee vowed to take the East African Society to a new dimension. You can be sure that there is much more to come!
The East African Society is open to people from all regions across the world and we urge you to join us in this effort. This will assist us to examine the historical experiences of various cultures and nationalities in order to develop an enlightened appreciation of the struggles and values of each.Finally, from a personal point of view,our performance will always stay close at heart and it means alot to me.I have to thank the dancers for giving me one of my most profound memories.
