Caroline Makokha's testimonial

Appreciation to IRRT team for giving me the opportunity to be a participant this year.

IRRT has been an important platform for enhancing my career skills and carrying out comprehensive research widening my knowledge base. The global perspective, developed a shared vision and purposeful interpersonal interaction so worthwhile online. Indeed it has been an excellent opportunity to make connections with library colleagues in other countries. Special gratitudes go to librarians with a passion Yusuf(Kenyan) and April (Canadian)for their massive contribution which were representing the interests of the library and information
services main focus on digital literacy. We were able to discover our similarities as well as uniqueness, knowledge enabling us blend so well bringing a positive impact.

This will help in improving service delivery at work and (http://www.stepsaheaduniversalreaders.org/) education program I initiated with an aim of transforming lives in villages through reading intervention programs with focus on children within disadvantaged communities.

Adhering to health safety measures on COVID-19 pandemic, experience shared here has enabled me expand my initiative through "Door Step Service" which entails taking information resources (both soft and hard copy) to households with young learners ages 4-15years for learning continuity.

My desire is to reach out many disadvantaged groups with support of like minded partners to expand learners resources encouraging sustainability even after gradual opening of schools.
