During the annual International festival of University of Applied Sciences Rheinmain,

the students used the opportunity to show case the rest of the world the already underway as well as upcoming projects in the East African country that will be very beneficial to the citizens in the near future.

Geothermal Power, the Standard Gauge Railway for instance are among the Projects the Students presented on this day. Beside the Project, they also took the opportunity to share their culture, the Kenyan cuisine and also, thanks to the Kenyan Embassy in Germany, they managed give an insight into the Kenyan tourism Industry. The students believe if Kenyans students abroad participated in such events at their various Universities, it would be a win-win situation for those interested in Kenya or the African culture in general. Their biggest dream is to extend their connection back home and create many partner Universities from Germany to Kenya and vice-versa since connection creates opportunity and opportunity is what many young career-seeking enthusiasts fondly require in Kenya.

Many thanks to Hochschule Rheinmain, ASTA and the Office of the International Students for offering such opportunities and support.
