<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Becky and KICKTANet,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We at SIDAREC are happy for KOCH FM and the support
to have given them. It is fulfilling to realise that ICT actors are now
focussing on ICT initiatives in the slums. We are happy to be associated with
KOCH FM in that our GHETTO FM is licenced on the same 99.9 Frequency and we have
done some exchange visits to learn from each other. Ghetto Fm will be on air by
end of June as our broadcasting equipment will be arriving in two weeks. We are
using FOSS in our library catalogue by the youth and now our broadcasting will
be boosted by Campcaster which runs on Linux. This can also be suitable for Koch
if they too want to go into internet radio broadcasting. We are also talking to
CCK to allow us to use microwave booster so that we can also transmit to Mukuru
kwa Njenga where we have another centre on the same frequency. I may suggest
that you organize a field visit for KICTANet members to our projects.

<DIV class=MsoNormal><B>Koch Fm needs a generator<O:P></O:P></B></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><O:P> </O:P>It is not every day that Kenyan
journalists commit their money to the community but Ng’ang’a Mbugua had a
noble idea- to contribute towards Koch Fm’s acquisition of a generator.<O:P>
<BR></O:P></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Mbugua, a journalist with the Nation wanted had learnt
that Koch Fm was fundraising to buy a generator and wanted to contribute to
the cause. So he sent sms to all his friends. He asked for whatever they had,
shs 100, 500, 1,000 or 10,000.<O:P> <BR></O:P></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Now, Koch Fm has a generator but has no money to install
it. They got estimate costs of about shs 120,000.<O:P><BR></O:P></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>KICTANet members have been invited to pledge their
contribution towards this worthy cause. Whether monetary or in kind, all are
welcome to contribute.<O:P> <BR></O:P></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>We are drawing a list of those interested in
contributing.<O:P> <BR></O:P></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Andrew Limo was the first to pledge. Please add your name
to this list.<O:P> <BR></O:P></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Ideally, Kenya ICT Action Network would like to help, and
make sure the ACTION part is more prominent. It is such acts that will bridge
the digital divide……<O:P> <BR></O:P></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal>Do I hear the names??? </DIV><BR><BR>Tel. 254 720 318
