The news came by surprise as I was still working at Tuungane Youth Centre in Nyanza – Kenya where I am stationed. My ISM Moses called me informing and congratulating me on being picked to represent interns in a DOT global meeting in Ottawa, Canada. Yes I was excited on receiving this news and shared it happily with my family. It is an opportunity of a lifetime and its going to be an eye opener to me. I will be able to get the different world views. I will ably represent my fellow interns from Kenya during this global week. During this time I will present to the DOT Board of Directors, CIDA, IDRC, interact with interns from U.S.A just to mention a few activities. My internship so far has been good even with few challenges here and there but I’m making a real impact in the community as I train youth on sustainable livelihoods through use of ICT. It’s going to be my first time going abroad. I am a bit apprehensive about the long flight but also thrilled about the trip. Canada here I come!!
