I’m about to lose my mind
You’ve been gone for so long
I’m runnin’ out of time
I need a doctor, call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
I told the world, one day I would pay it back
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it, so that one day I could play it back
But I don’t even know if I believe it when I’m sayin’ that
Doubts startin’ to creep in, every day it’s just so gray and black
Hope, I just need a ray of that
‘Cause no one sees my vision when I play it for ‘em
They just say it’s wack — but they don’t know what dope is
And I don’t know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this
All I know is, you came to me when I was at my lowest
You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you
But for the life of me, I don’t see why you don’t see like I do
But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fightin’ you
It’s dark, let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
I don’t think you realize what you mean to me, not the slightest clue
‘Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick; you

Now read this part of speech by Prof. Peter M. F. Mbithi, the
vice chancellor of The University of Nairobi during an ICT and
innovation conference and do the activities.
Let me take this opportunity to welcome you all to this important
seminar on the subject of ICT Innovations for School. It is indeed
important as we are living in a world of great technological
innovations and great leaps in the use of ICT. It is also critical as
the country enters the phase of implementing the Government’s
agenda of providing laptops to our children in primary schools.
History of Computer Studies:
Computer studies was introduced in the secondary school
curriculum as an optional subject in 1996 and later revised in 2002.
Due to the dynamic nature of the subject, it has become imperative
that the subject be overhauled in the planned curriculum review.
Before 2002, the major problem with the first syllabus was mostly
practical programming in Pascal/C because of limited human
resource who could competently handle the subject as then
formulated. However, it has now been observed that the current
syllabus lacks practical exposure to creativity and problem solving
which come with programming.
Therefore, review of the current syllabi should emphasize more on
problem solving and innovations that require more time allocation
than the current 3 40-min lessons per week. But even as we proceed
with review of curriculum, there is need to sensitize our youth on
the broad subject of ICT and innovations.
This seminar on ICT and Innovations is therefore about changing
the mindset of our youth, that they can take control of their future
and explain that there are huge opportunities for them. This
Dolphin English Reader Book 7 105
will help them to innovatively manage situations, information
and collaborations using ICT devices; tablets, mobile phones,
smart watches, Google glasses, and desktop computers- This will
dramatically alter the children’s learning experience in schools,
automatically raising the quality of our graduates. Kenya has lately
joined first world countries in promoting a knowledge economy.
We already have global presence in mPesa, and other engineering
and mobile innovations.
The other objective of this seminar is that of nurturing ICT
innovations in schools. Nurturing young innovators right from
Primary school to University will in the long run provide competent
graduates who are able to provide hardware and software solutions
locally instead of importing them from East and West. The seminar
is also meant to promote and inculcate a culture of innovation,
promote local research in technology, engineering and robotics.
This is by providing youth with a forum for showcasing their
innovations for the benefit of Kenya.
According to the government agenda in the field of ICT, Kenyan
schools should be the “the Birthplace of Silicon Savannah” if Vision
2030 agenda on social, economic and political development is to
become a reality. It should be aligned to Science, Technology and
Innovation (ST&I) policy, the National ICT Master Plan, and global
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
I therefore encourage the government, universities and schools to
join hands in promoting ICT and innovations through:
• Infrastructural development
• Internet Connectivity
106 Dolphin English Reader Book 7
• Financial support to innovators
• Recognition of ICT talents and Innovators
• Local hardware and software manufacturing
• Training and Mentorship
I also call upon the government to collaborate with other stakeholders
(Safaricom, eMobilis, colleges and universities) and other partners
to set up software incubation centers in all the counties in Kenya.
Current ICT Implementation Challenges
From the key players in the ICT industry, the following have been
identified as the key challenges in ICT implementation:
• Human resource – lack of trained teachers
• Poor Infrastructure
• Lack of a professional body to regulate ICT like in Engineering
and Law. Such a body would be responsible for setting up
standards, procedures and guidelines in ICT practice for
teachers and managers.
• Lack of harmonized capacity building in schools, colleges and
universities which also have inadequate ICT experts to produce
the desired change.
There is therefore need for more ICT teachers to be trained
and employed in secondary schools. We also need to support
continuous in-service for trained teachers for them to acquire ICT
skills regardless of the subjects they teach. Government and other
stakeholders should also mobilize resources for equipping schools
with ICT infrastructures.
It is my earnest hope that this seminar will go a long way in
addressing the challenges encountered in implementing ICT in our
schools, and also providing the required recommendations on how
Dolphin English Reader Book 7 107
to tackle the challenges. As a University and as leader in the higher
education sector, we must remain at the forefront in providing
solutions to the challenges affecting various fields of study as we
have the necessary expertise. Let me conclude by thanking our
guests who managed to attend this seminar in spite of their busy
schedules, and also the organizers for planning about the seminar.
Thank you all and have a good day.
Thank you.

sTiLL i rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Dolphin English Reader Book 7 111
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

to nurture our talent, give us a conducive environment where we
can grow, not just physically, but mentally and socially too. Under the

Read the real life story of Khalid Hussain, an Urdu-speaking Bihari
in Bangladesh and do the activities. (pic. of people living in camps)
Khalid Hussain is a Bihari from Bangladesh.
He describes the Urdu speaking Biharis as
the most disadvantaged group in Bangladesh
because they are not recognized as citizens in
the country they regard as their home.
Dolphin English Reader Book 7 125
Hussain brought the story of the Biharis to the special event, Voices:
‘Everyone affected by racism has a story that should be heard’, at the
Durban Review Conference in Geneva. He told his audience that since
the partition of Pakistan in 1971, more than three hundred thousand
Bihari people have been living in makeshift camps all over Bangladesh.
Hussain lives in the Geneva camp, set up by the International Committee
of the Red Cross, in 1971 and named after the organisation’s Swiss
headquarters. One of the largest in Bangladesh, the Geneva camp is
home to around 25 thousand people who live in houses measuring on
average 13 square metres which accommodate 5 to 8 people. For the
entire camp there are 250 public toilets.
“As Biharis,” Hussain says, “we have no access to any means of survival in
society - socially, culturally and economically.”
His own story is typical. On completion of primary school, he and other
students tried to enroll at the local high school but were refused. Their
only option was a private school which most could not afford.
At the private school, the Bihari students were treated as a race apart. “I
remember my first day of school. All the Bengali students were looking
at us as if we were strangers and they were whispering to each other that
we are Bihari and that we live in dirty camps…We were marginalised in
the classroom and we had to sit in a separate row.”
Khalid described the extreme difficulty Biharis experience trying to
access employment and escape poverty. “Not only are we denied all
government positions but also due to our addresses in the camps and our
undefined legal status, wider discrimination in the job market remains
a prime concern.”

“As a result,” he said, “the vast majority of Biharis are pushed into the
informal sector, working as rickshaw-pullers, drivers, butchers, barbers,
mechanics and craft workers”.
A group of Biharis, including Hussain, did achieve a historic breakthrough
in 2003 when they challenged the election commission’s refusal to
include them on the voter listing. The Bangladeshi High Court ruled
that the people in the camps “are Bangladeshi”.
Despite that advance, Hussain believes the situation of the Biharis has
worsened. “Intolerance on the part of mainstream civil society has
increased. There has been very little interest amongst the mainstream
human rights organizations, legal aid bodies or women and children’s
organizations…Voices need to be raised,” he said.
Hussain concluded by talking of tolerance and appealing for a change
of attitude which would reduce the discrimination endured by his
community.
“I trust,” he said, “that one day we will see a world free of racism, racial
discrimination and intolerance.”

2 Reading Time
Read the story below and do the activities.
She was a large woman with a large
purse that had everything in it but
hammer and nails. It had a long strap,
and she carried it slung across her
shoulder. It was about eleven o’clock
at night, and she was walking alone,
when a boy ran up behind her and
tried to snatch her purse. The strap
broke with the single tug he gave it
from behind. But the boy’s weight and
the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his balance so,
instead of taking off full blast as he had hoped. The boy fell on his back
on the sidewalk, and his legs flew up. The large woman simply turned
around and kicked him right square in his blue-jeaned sitter. Then she
reached down, picked the boy up by his shirt front, and shook him until
his teeth rattled.
After that the woman, said, “Pick up my pocketbook, boy and give it here.”
She still held him. But she bent down enough to permit him to stoop and
pick up her purse. Then she said, “Now ain’t you ashamed of yourself?”
130 Dolphin English Reader Book 7
Firmly gripped by his shirt front, the boy, said, “Yes’m.”
The woman said, “What did you want to do it for?”
The boy said, “I didn’t aim to.”
She said, “You a lie.”
By that time two or three people passed, stopped, turned to look, and
some stood watching.
“If I turn you loose, will you run?” asked the woman.
“Yes’m,” said the boy.
“Then I won’t turn you loose,” said the woman. She did not release him.
“I’m very sorry, lady, I’m sorry,” whispered the boy.
“Um-hu,! And your face is dirty. I got a great mind to wash your face, for
you. Ain’t you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?”
“No’m,” said the boy.
“Then it will get washed this evening,” said the large woman starting up
the street dragging the frightened boy behind her.
He looked as if he were fourteen or fifteen, frail and willow-wild, in
tennis shoes and blue jeans.
The woman said, “You ought to be my son. I would teach you right from
wrong. Least I can do right now is to wash your face. Are you hungry?”
“No’m,” said the being dragged boy. “I just want you to turn me loose.”
“Was I bothering you when I turned that corner?” asked the woman
“No’m.”
“But you put yourself in contact with me,” said the woman. “If you think
that contact is not going to last awhile, you got another thought coming.
Dolphin English Reader Book 7 131
When I get through with
you, sir, you are going to
remember Mrs. Luella
Bates Washington Jones,”
Sweat popped out on the
boy’s face and he began
to struggle. Mrs. Jones
stopped, jerked him
around in front of her, put a
half-nelson about his neck,
and continued to drag him
up the street.
When she got to her
door, she dragged the boy
inside, down a hall, and
into a large kitchenette
furnished room at the rear of the house. She switched on the light and left
the door open. The boy could hear other roomers laughing and talking
in the large house. Some of the doors were open too, so he knew he and
the woman were not alone. The woman still had him by the neck in the
middle of her room.
She said, “What is your name?”
“Roger,” answered the boy.
“Then Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face,” said the woman,
whereupon she turned him loose – at least. Roger looked at the door –
looked at the woman – looked at the door – and went to the sink.
Let the water run until it gets warm,” she said. “Here’s a clean towel.”
132 Dolphin English Reader Book 7
‘You gonna take me to jail?” asked the boy, bending over the sink.
“not with that face, I would not take you nowhere,” said the woman.
“Here I am trying to get home to cook me a bite to eat and you snatch
my pocketbook! Maybe you ain’t been to your supper either, late as it be.
Have you?”
“There’s nobody home at my house,” said the boy.
Then we’ll eat,” said the woman, “I believe you’re hungry – or been
hungry – to try to snatch my pocketbook.”
“I wanted a pair of blue suede shoes,” said the boy.
“Well, you didn’t have to snatch my pocketbook to get some suede shoes,”
said Mrs. Joes, “You could have asked me.”
“M’am?”
The water dripping from his face, the boy looked at her. There was a long
pause. A very long pause. After he had dried his face and not knowing
what else to do dried it again, the boy turned around, wondering what
next. The door was open. He could make a dash for it down the hall. He
could run, run, run, run, run!
The woman was sitting on the day-bed. After a while she said, “I were
young once and I wanted things I could not get.”
There was another long pause. The boy’s mouth opened. Then he
frowned, but not knowing he frowned.
The woman said, “um-hum! You thought I was going to say but, didn’t you?
You thought I was going to say, but I didn’t snatch people’s pocketbooks.
Well I was not going to say that.” Pause.
Silence. “I have done things, too, which I would not tell you, son – neither
tell God if he didn’t already know. So you set down while I fix us something
Dolphin English Reader Book 7 133
to eat. You might run that
comb through your hair so
you will look presentable.”
In another corner of the
room behind a screen was a
gas plate and an ice box. Mrs.
Jones got up and went behind
the screen. The woman did
not watch the boy to see if he
was going to run now, nor did she watch her purse which she left behind
her on the day-bed. But the boy took care to sit on the far side of the
room where he thought she could easily see him out of the corner of her
eye, if she wanted to. He did not trust the woman not to trust him. And
he did not want to be mistrusted now.
“Do you need somebody to go to the store?” asked the boy, “maybe to get
some milk or something?
“Don’t believe I do,” said the woman, “unless you just want sweet milk
yourself, I was going to make cocoa out of this canned milk I got here.”
“That will be fine,” said the boy.
She heated some lima beans and ham she had in the icebox, made the
cocoa, and set the table.
The woman did not ask the boy anything about where he lived, or his
folks, or anything else that would embarrass him. Instead, as they ate,
she told him about her job in a hotel beauty-shop that stayed open late,
what the work was like, and how all kinds of women came in and out,
blondes, red-heads and Spanish. Then she cut him a half of her ten-cent
cake.
134 Dolphin English Reader Book 7
“Eat some more, son,” she said.
When they were finished eating she got up and said, “Now, here, take
this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes. And next time,
do not make the mistake of latching onto my pocketbook nor nobody
else’s – because shoes come by devilish like that will burn your feet. I
got to get my rest now. But I wish you would behave yourself, son, from
here on in.”
She led him down the hall to the front door and opened it. “Good-night!
Behave yourself, boy!” She said, looking out in to the street.
The boy wanted to say something else other than, “Thank you, m’am” to
Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, but he couldn’t do so as he turned
at the barren stoop and looked back at the large woman in the door. He
barely managed to say “Thank you” before she shut the door. And he
never saw her again.

Hiroshima is one of the
most important cities of
Japan. It is recognized
as the City of Peace and
Reconstruction in the
world map. It’s a port city
that has a notable impact
on Japanese economy. It
is also one of the biggest
tourist destinations in Japan. It covers an area of 905.08 sq. kilometres
and has a population of almost 1.2 million.
Dolphin English Reader Book 7 147
The city was
established in 1589
by a powerful warlord
Mori Terumoto. It
became a major
urban centre during
the Imperial Period
(1871-1939). It was the focal point of the Japanese military activities
during World War I and II.
Hiroshima faced the greatest tragedy ever in world history on August
6, 1945. World War II was at its boom and the Japanese army had
destructed the Pearl Harbour in the US. The US, in revenge dropped the
first ever nuclear bomb named ‘Little Boy’ in the city. It was a five ton
nuclear explosive that was carried in a Boeing. The explosion killed an
estimated 80,000 people directly and by the end of year due to injury
and radiation almost 90,000 people added to the list of casualties. More
than seventy percent of the buildings were destroyed. The beautiful city
turned into a grave in no time.
It was not the end of plight for Hiroshima. The city was struck by a
powerful typhoon on September 17, 1945 killing 3,000 people and
destructing many bridges and buildings. The city was vastly devastated.
The devastation was like some chili pepper on the fresh bruises of the
atomic explosion.
Hiroshima was rebuilt after the war. A master plan followed by a beautiful
design to reconstruct the city was made. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum were constructed eventually.
In 1949 Hiroshima was proclaimed a City of Peace by the Japanese
Parliament drawing a large investment from the central government for
148 Dolphin English Reader Book 7
its reconstruction. Since then many artistic structures have been made
and military activities have been limited. Seeing this city now, no one
easily believes that this city was once devastated to rags and ruins. This
city is now the first choice venue of the international community to
organize conferences on peace and other social issues.
The city at present attracts a
large number of tourists from
around the world. The museum,
the park, the Atomic Bomb
Dome, the Mitaki-Dera Temple
and Hiroshima Castle are a few
perfect sights to be observed in
Hiroshima. It is a well developed
environment-friendly city with
all the luxuries in travel, entertainment and accommodation. Beauty,
peace and hospitality of this city are highly appreciated. It is a perfect
model of reconstruction for the global community. The administration
and the people of the city advocate the need of peace and love for a better
world with an untiring effort.
