Elizabeth Taylor is dead.

Hollywood movie legend Elizabeth Taylor has died at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles at age was 79.

Taylor went into the medical center two months ago for treatment of congestive heart failure. Doctors said her condition had stabilized, but several complications had persisted over time.

The two-time Oscar-winning actress had announced she was having a heart procedure done. She tweeted the operation was: "very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery so that my heart will function better."

Born in London to American parents in 1932, Taylor was known for her iconic performances in films like 1963's Cleopatra and for her Academy Award-winning turns in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and Butterfield 8.

She was also known for her several marriages, most famously twice to actor Richard Burton.
But she also became noted for the early attention she brought to the AIDS crisis, particularly after her longtime friend Rock Hudson died of the disease in 1985. Her efforts culminated in the founding of the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS foundation.

She will be greatly missed and may her soul rest in perfect peace.

SHEILA KWAMBOKA FIGHTS MALARIA

 NET MALARIA OUT OF AFRICA 

Sauti za Africa is a NGO based in Kenya established in December 2010. Our aim is to give a voice to the less privileged to empower themselves against issues that affect them. The organisation mainly deals with children directly or/and indirectly.

With the knowledge that Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality cases in this country, we have started an initiative dubbed 'Net Malaria out of Kenya'. This initiative seeks to help the already existing efforts of not only reducing morbidity and mortality rates in the country but also improving the knowledge and skills of the population on malaria prevention.

The 'Net Malaria out of Kenya' initiative is launching its pilot project in Nyatieko and Nyanguru villages, Mosocho Division in Kisii District. This Sunday 13/3/2011 we will have an event in Kisii Children's Home where we will be addressing the community on how best to keep malaria at bay. We will be graced by the presence of the area Chief as well as local prominent business men as well as volunteers from Nairobi,Mombasa,Kisumu and Kisii who will be involved in educating the locals and help in mosquito net and educational pamphlets distribution.

On 13th March Sauti za Africa will help contribute towards Malaria eradication in Kenya through community advocacy and distribution of treated mosquito nets in Mosocho Division, Kisii Central District.

Attached please find the event poster. 

By making a pledge towards the event, you are supporting preventive measures and local services to those affected with Malaria.

My goal is to raise at least 1000 mosquito nets this month. Our trip to Kisii needs kshs40,000. A donation per person will help make this trip a success. Please help me reach that goal with your pledge. If you wish, you may mpesa all of your payment amount today in through 0722949925 to Shakira Asia who’s the project co-ordinator. Or send your donation through Eco-Bank Rapid transfer service.

We need these funds in order to facilitate effective arrangement of transport and other necessities needed for the trip.

Kanye Vs Mo'hits

Hallos!...Mo'hits at it again with the recent buzz about Kanye's tweet to the boys.
My take on the issue?...'Ki ni big deal?.' C'mon guys,Kanye doesn't follow anyone and he took time find both handles to tweet at D'banj and Donjazzy? Plus @iamdbanj who hardly ever tweets is waiting right by his phone to respond? Abeg give us a break jo!
Listen,we know you guys are trying really hard to cross over and we appreciate your efforts so there is no need pushing it.We love u already so whether you have paid Kanye for music production,begged him all night to tweet at you or even have Beyonce on your Blackberry messengers,It won't change much.Bottom line:easy on yourselves.

By the way,and if there is an actual collabo with Kanye west coming then that will be worth tweeting and re-tweeting sha.Keep us posted.
Much love.Ooooooooshe!
