COMEDIAN OMONDI WRITES A PASSIONATE LETTER ON HOW ESTHER ARUNGA HELPED HIM

I once met Esther Arunga while at Daystar University...I was
a second year...I had tried very much to reach any Celebrity
but non would pick my calls...she did pick my call..."Hey
esther my name is Eric Omondi, a student at Daystar
University..." I said immediately she picked..."Yes
Dear...talk to me" She responded in a soft voice..." Thanks
so much for picking my call, am a student leader and I'd
love to invite you to my college, I'd also personally love to
meet you since am very much interested in TV and
Entertainment" This was my response, my voice now
shaking with excitement. " Ok dear, can you make it to KTN,
I and M building Thursday morning 11am to be exact and
don't be late!! She said sternly. Now I was literally shaking
in disbelief..."Yes esther...I'll be there". 'See you then' She
said and hang up.

To cut the long story short I met Esther
shortly on Thursday morning and since she was running
late, she offered to buy me coffee the following morning at
Java Yaya as I explained to her exactly how she could help.
She did buy me coffee and introduced me to her
entertainment outfit CINEMA (Christians in Media and
Entertainment) they ran it together with Big Ted and Big Kev.
She also came to Daystar to speak to the students, she
brought along with her Nimrod Taabu the first time and Jeff
Koinange the second time...This was huge, she made me
believe in myself.

I know you are asking yourselves, what's
the moral of this story. It was while I was performing at
CINEMA at the former Galileo on museum hill that churchill
officially saw my talent and Esther Arunga officially
introduced me to the man who would take me and give me
the biggest stage of my life, Churchill.

God used her(Esther
Arunga) to lead me to my destiny. I can confidently say I
knew Esther Arunga, she was a friend and a mentor...A
woman who loved God and cherished people around
her...an encourager of talent and gifts a role model to the
young (she won teeniz role model award that same
year)...soft spoken, harmless, Joyful and cheerful.

One
thing happened followed by another and we soon lost hope
and trust in Esther...but hope is never lost, we must hope
against hope. Let's bring back our Esther, back to Kenya,
back to her country, back to her family...even back to our
Screens. I believe!!! We can!!! YES WE CAN!!!, bring back our
girl.
