Paper: Implementing indigenous language programmes in a globalising world: a success story from Tharaka (a minority people group) in Kenya
Affiliation: Kenyatta University, Kenya
Bursary Awarded: 2011
I am writing to express my gratitude to Jeremy Greenland Fund for their kindness in offering financial sponsorship to enable me attend the 2011 UKFIET conference at Oxford University. By then I was a Senior Lecturer at Kenyatta University, Kenya Africa.
The UKFIET conference that I was able to attend through the generous support of Jeremy Greenland Fund was the first major international conference for me. The experience was an eye opener as it made me come to terms with the benefits of participating in and presenting at learned conferences.
Had it not been for the support from JGF, I could not have managed to experience the great insights that emerged from the conference. The interaction with renowned scholars who graced the occasion has since opened so many doors for me in scholarship, thanks to JGF. I have been able to publish many articles in journals due to the exposure that I received through the participation at the conference.
In my work, I have grown to Professor now and Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of academics at PAC University, Kenya.
I will forever be indebted to the Jeremy Greenland Fund for coming to my aid during my desperate hour of need.
