Here is report from Siyadinho Yang Fazul, YALDA, member, University of Nairobi, Kenya

“what a day it was!. The two site visitations were just awesome. The first stop attThe square farm in Karen was just mind blowing and motivating considering how innovative and entrepreneurial the 4 guys who were fresh from campus were and how their Agribusiness has grown so well in so little time. This a challenge to everone  -dont get out of campus with a mind of getting, think of how you can employ others!!!  The second site is at ECOPOST at Imara daima. What an innovative idea!!!. Protecting the environment by making recycling plastic and sawdust to manufacture fencing post. What started a small idea from scratch is now  become a big company which products are in high demand. Now looking forward to the three remaining days of the campus at USIU. I tell you INNOVATION and ENTERPRENEURSHIP is the way and the future”
