Yusuf Ganyana's testimonial

I wish to take this opportunity to thank you all for the opportunity to participate in this program.

The highlight has been the quality of the people I got to journey with, Caroline and April were two amazing librarians from Kenya and Canada respectively. Thanks to them, there was a lot to learn and take away especially in the digital literacy space. Through them, I was able to start Laibu Mkononi (Swahili for "a library on the palm of your hand" Twitter: @LMkononi) program which seeks to empower vulnerable children between 6-13 years with devices preloaded with quality educational content, storybooks, educational videos, and games so that they can continue to learn during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

IRRT gave us a very different type of approach to network and share ideas, which I find has more impact. It presented an opportunity to compare notes and talk about best practices in and out of the library environment, with thought-provoking content that I am sure will continue after this program.
