Cecafa secretary Musonye reveals to Goal that Kagame Cup tournament, that features clubs from the region, will be held in Kigali, Rwanda from August This year’s Council of East and Central Africa Football Association (Cecafa) Senior Challenge Cup will be staged in Ethiopia from November. Cecafa secretary Nicholas Musonye has revealed to  Goal  that Kagame Cup tournament, that features clubs from the region, will be held in Rwanda from August, instead of June as is normally the case. Kenya’s Harambee Stars are Senior Challenge Cup champions after beating Sudan 2-0 in the final of last year's edition played at Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi. Musonye said they had settled for Rwanda as Kagame Cup hosts because the tournament will concide with country's celebrations to mark 20 years since genocide. Last year’s edition, which was won by Burundi’s Vital’O, was held in Darfur, Sudan. Since 2002, Rwanda President Paul Kagame has been the main sponsor of the tournament. The Pres

UN study: Cellphones can improve literacy

PARIS (AP) — A study by the  U.N.  education agency says cellphones are getting more and more people to read in countries where books are rare and illiteracy is high. Paris-based UNESCO says 774 million people worldwide cannot read, and most people in sub-Saharan Africa don't own any books but cellphones are increasingly widespread. The report Wednesday by UNESCO says large numbers of people in such countries are reading books and stories on "rudimentary small-screen devices." It says a third of study participants read stories to children from cellphones. It also says people who start reading on a mobile device go on to read more period, improving their overall literacy. The study was conducted among 4,000 people in Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Uganda and Zimbabwe. ምንጭ፦ http://www.sfgate.com/business/technology/article/UN-study-Cellphones-can-improve-literacy-5423521.php
