Hi Wamathai,
This is very great of you. Im happy that Im now fully informed of these wonderful events. It has been hurting me every time I look at my certificates while in high school yet I have stored away my passion all along only bringing it our privately in my room. Now I can attend these events as I plan on revival. I hope to attend the Kwani Open Mic on Tuesday for a kick off.
Thanks a lot.
