TAWA Chairperson - Ms Mariam Kilumanga - Al Jazeera: People&Power

International Womens Day

Just thought I will share this with you, basically myself and the chairperson for our Tanzania Women Association (TAWA) Ms. M Kilumanga , were recently invited to the studios of Al-Jazeera International , the English Channel version based here in London, on their People & Power Programme to share our views on the International Womens Day,which to be celebrated officially on this sunday the 8th March . Its a very small clip involving women from different proffessions commenting on womens rights issues . It takes about seconds but still its a good progress for us all I think and we should celebrate the fact that it is actually happening now where by a woman originally from Africa and especially Bongo Tanzania for that matter,can be invited into one of the major Worldwide Television Stations to air our views, indeed we are getting somewhere ..........!!! YES WE CAN
okay here are the details;
The programme first goes to air at 0130 GMT Saturday the 7th March (I know you are wondering why the time, but as a global channel somewhere in the world someone will be watching hopefully!)
