Hae DJ B, 2dy it was mai 1st dy 2 hear ua voice on air kw Qfm bat nimekuwa niki-read magazine yako na uwa inanibamba na ime-change life yangu. - Earnest Kip’z Honest.8

Ever since tulihamia

Syokimau, imebidi tununue maji.

SO nili-approach mamangu

nikamuelezea habari nilikuwa nimesoma

kwa shujaaz.

nilim-show stori ya charlie stori ya charlie pele ya water

rights, na alikuwa excited sana

(mathe ni fan wa shujaaz FM).

nilihitaji solution ya hizo shida.

na bei ya kununua maji na

kulipa msee wa honda ni ghali. hizo vitu zote

zina-make farming ikuwe hard

sana.sana.

crops zangu zinahitaji maji, lakini syokimau

ni area dry sana na maji ya

borehole ni salty. salty.

Usikonde manze don’t give up on ur job ata iki-fail poa. Unaona vile supa strikers iko down hadi umeishinda kwa market! keep up booooooom!!!! - Brian Maranga. 9

wao story za maji...

napenda shujaaz FM sana, favourite characters wangu ni

charlie pele na maria kim. shujaaz inajenga mayuts. inaweza kusaidia

kuanza bizna peke yako bila ku-depend kwa mapero. ni comic ku-depend kwa mapero. ni comic

interesting sana.

kuna time niliskia show ya DJ B kwa

Ghetto Fm, kwa mat, lakini baada ya hiyo time imekuwa ngumu

kui-get.

nimekuwa nikisoma shujaaz since

ianze. mbuyu wangu ananunuanga magazeti ananunuanga magazeti kila siku, na saturday ya kwanza kila mwezi

mimi na bro tunangojea hiyo

comic.

tume-rear rabbits, tume-plant sweet potatoes,

tumejaribu water harvesting, na hata sukuma harvesting, na hata sukuma in a sack! kuna time mathe

hata alituma SMS kwa 3008 ku-show DJ B juu ya hizo

sweet potatoes!

nili-make mathe pia a-fall in love na shujaaz fm. pamoja

tumejaribu ideas kadhaa kutoka hizo

pages.

12

hiyo project ya water harvesting ilikuwa ngumu - kwanza tulichimba shimo na tukai-cement. halafu tuka-direct ma-pipes kutoka roof mpaka hiyo shimo, lakini shida tulipata ni hiyo shimo

ilishinda iki-crack baada ya kui-cement.

hizo idea zingine

zimekuwa amazing.

asante DJ B!
