We have interacted and exchanged ideas with doctors like Dr.Ange and Dr.Gloriose and an experienced journalist. They have shared us more important ideas which will guide us in our life. The important thing that I have got is to create our own jobs, being confident and to be engaged in Science, Technology, engineering and so on. So what I am thinking now, I am capable. I can do everything. Also they have mobilized us to use our mobile phone in a good manner instead of using internet in unproductive things; we have to use it by generating money. We have to lead internet instead of leading us.’’
Akimana Janviere from Gatsibo also who attended the Training said: ‘Today’s training is very good. They have offered us important motivating ideas which can change our live. In brief; everything was good. They have taught us to feel confident when you want to do something new.’’
