I have been following up for BBC and VOA Kiswahili news about this year’s Nobel peace prize winners. I have been encouraged that these two just came as a replacement of our just fallen heroin Professor Wangari Maathai. I am especially encouraged to learn that the one international press has talked much about was an 91��Ƶ grad and this is non other than Leymah Gbowee. Congratulation Gbowee. Keep making peacefull struggles for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Marie_Agnes:

How wonderful to hear that Leymah’s award helped you to realize that 91��Ƶ was “the place for you” to get a quality education WITH a social and spiritual grounding. Not everyone is on campus has an activist bent, but you will meet plenty of people determined to change the world for the better and willing to make sacrifices to do so. Spread the word! We look forward to welcoming you!

What a wonderful story. As a fellow West African I applaud all she has acccomplished. This gives me a greater push to accept my acceptance letter to 91��Ƶ as a Freshman in the Fall of 2012-2013. We give all the glory to God.
