Hello friend. This is my first time writing here. To avoid double story telling, I will be posting links from my blog which you can just click and get updates on how YALI has impacted me and how the story did not just end on the comencement day; 12th October, 2018, to be precise. To start as of here is a snippet of how my team an I developed a solution for Riara University during our Design Challenge Practical.

The story goes:

In the second week, we were introduced to our Challenge in which our client was Riara University. Francis Onditi PhD, Head of Department, School of International Relations and Diplomacy articulately stated two problems and since we were five groups in the Business and Entrepreneurship Class, we picked our challenges from ruffles. According to my ID, I belonged to Group O. While at Bracken-Hurst, I had identified two of my group fellows, Blandine Omuziranenge from Rwanda and Ellain Kiarie from Kenya. This made it easy for us to engage with the other four; Beniel- Tanzania, Jeremmie- DRC and Lencho-Ethiopia. We did a brainstorming exercise and we quickly could feel each other’s enthusiasm that brought about warmth in the group.
