Principal Secretary Nabukwesi congratulated the graduates and conveyed the warm greetings from the CS Education, Professor George Magoha: “The CS is very much aware of the contribution Huawei is making towards the acquisition of Information Communications Technology (ICT) skills for many Kenyan young people.” Amb. Nakuwesi further noted how: “The University education and research sector encouraged institutions to engage students through online learning. This has not been easy but a bigger percentage of our students have been able to continue with their studies online. This would not have been possible just a few years ago. We thank companies like Huawei for providing opportunities to make this happen and more thanks for the great progress we have made in building our technology infrastructure.”

Representing the Kenya Ambassador to China Sarah Serem, Mr. Waweru Kimani, Deputy Head of the Mission, remarked, “I want to thank Huawei for this innovation in corporate social responsibility which started way back in 2008. The Seeds for the Future is an innovative way of building bridges and enhancing communication between countries and culture, both sharing ICT expertise and skills in international business environment. ”

Mabel Karani, a student at JKUAT University in telecommunication and information engineering shared her experiences of the program: “One of the best experiences was working with a team. We were more than just a team, we became a family. We learnt about cutting edge technologies like 5G which is the next generation of mobile networks, Artificial Intelligence, cloud computing and HMS Core. The best part of this program was that it was not only about technology as we also learnt life skills such as strategic leadership and teamwork. Thank you Huawei and ICT Authority for this amazing opportunity.”

Another student, Collins Kimutai, echoed Mabel’s thoughts of the programs noting that: “We have gained immeasurable knowledge and a valuable wealth of experience. I have no doubt we are learning from the very best and it has left an unforgettable mark in our lives. Through us you have planted a tree and we shall water it and nurture it until it bears fruits. I thank the Kenyan government for providing an enabling environment for ICT growth and enabling us to access such programs.”

The 60 students participated in 4 different teams to build their teamwork skills, with the “Green Geeks” winning the Best Team prize. They also had to complete multiple tests during the course and had an essay competition. The Top 2 in that essay competition were offered internships, meanwhile other prize winners will get vouchers for Huawei ICT Academy trainings and certifications as well as Huawei consumer products.
