Dear Paul,
Thanks for sharing the info, however unfortunately I disagree with VC tabloid news and that a kenyan should be used ( or rather be a volunteered) to further and market the existence of VC funds to "kusaidia" Africa. So while I can totally cheer a kenyan athlete and find inspiration from them, I find it difficult to cheer such because it is no different than someone selling many APC UPS and getting an acknowledgement of the volumes achieved. It's nothing more than a marketing gimmick but for whom?
I'd also like to thank you for keeping the channels open and I'll be posting a contribution soon. Hopefully it may raise the necessary questions and also provide a discussion to where we probabbly should be moving towards.
Rgds. :-)
Asante.
