Language Kiswahili

Kiswahili Swahili language is the only language in Africa that can technically be classified as a true ‘Lingua Franca’. Unlike most other African languages it is a non tribal language, rather it is more of an intra-national language of the Eastern Central and Southern Africa.
The language spreads from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Zanzibar, Rwanda, Burundi, Eastern Zaire, Northern Zaire, Northern Malawi, Northern Mozambique, Oman and northern Zambia to as far as Somalia. It is currently estimated that well over 100 million people use Swahili for communication.

Dear Kuldip,

On behalf of the Open University Students’ Association, I would like to thank you and your family for the very generous gift of the “Attalia Trophy”.
We are delighted that you have presented us with this and it will used to encourage our students to raise funds to help their less advantaged, disabled and housebound fellow students.

Each year the “Attalia Trophy” will be presented to “The Branch coming up with the best idea for fundraising”.

We will thus be able to encourage the smaller branches to compete to raise funds.

My thanks once again to you and your family for this most generous and thoughtful donation.

Yours sincerely,


Iris Price
