Club in Eldoret Kenya | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Student Peter Sagah has set up the very first Outlook Club. Peter and a group of his college friends in Eldoret, Kenya gather around the radio each day and listen to the programme together. “We are currently about ten, but I am making a spirited effort to increase the number. Apart from just listening to Outlook, we collect human stories around campus.” “The programme is nice. It makes you want to see what is going on and feel the impact of scourges, diseases and the good and bad things that happen elsewhere. It connects you with the parts of the world you can not see.” The club was formally set up with Peter as the chairman and fellow student Victor as the secretary.
“It started as a coincidence that we all happened to be in the same place, listening to the programme. Everyday we used to listen and our members decided to do something. Now we’ve formalised it by forming a club and we’ve called ourselves Outlook”. “We have been doing it now for four months and it has been fantastic.” More women The club is currently mostly men with only one female member, but Peter is hoping that more women will join. He hopes to interest other universities and Outlook fans in the idea. Apart from listening to the programme, the Outlook Club also does community work and AIDS awareness campaigns. “We don’t mind other people in the world embracing our idea. Actually we would like to make this a big idea so that each and every Outlook listener in the world could be advantaged to know others who listen to Outlook. That would be fantastic.” | SEE ALSO | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
