Message from the KSLIA Chair

February 2015

KSLIA is all of us. If KSLIA fails to deliver, it is all of us who have failed to deliver because the organization is simply our agent. We are the principals and our organization simply acts on our behalf. In a democratic dispensation, the organization is only one element co-existing in a social fabric of many varied organizations.

Members of an organization should share in the responsibility of joining with others to shape the future of the organization. As KSLIA members, we must take responsibility for the fate of our organization, in the end we will rejoice when we take the organization to the next level and achieve the progress that our hearts yearn for. This is what KSLIA leadership has endeavored to do together with those who mean well for the profession.

Therefore KSLIA office bearers act for the interests of the organization and not for personal interests. Where personal interests exist, the organizations’ interests must always carry the day. The current office bearers have therefore always acted for the interest of the organization. Some may not be pleased especially if they want to have their way. BUT anyone in our position would always do what the office demands i.e doing what is right to ensure the organizations’ interests always prevail.

Consequently, as an office, we may have rubbed some interpreters the wrong way as we execute our mandate BUT let it be clear to all of you that it is nothing personal. It is what the position we are in demands. It requires us to EXECUTE OUR MANDATE even when it doesn’t please everyone as long, as it is the right thing to do. This we will continue to do without fear or favour for the benefit of us all for it is the only way we can achieve the progress we yearn for.

THANK YOU and

God Bless you all

KSLIA National Chairperson

NEW YEAR NEW THINGS

Dear Interp,

Welcome to the New Year 2008, our association activities began in slow motion mode for the better part of the first two months. We were affected by the political crisis of which all of you are aware of and had to cancel the National Forum for all Interps in Kenya.

Things are looking up and we are regaining calm and peace countrywide.

In this newness there are several new things we need to keep in mind.

1. National forum will definately happen in April/May
2. KSLIA quarterly meeting April/May
3. JKUAT is recruiting for a Diploma in Sign Language Course - please see press for details, you can also visit their Waiyaki Way town campus for more details.

Keep reading this postings, we are working on making it more appealing and relevant to your needs.

thanks,

Chairman
