Burundi’s National Youth
Conference attended by Prof. Dr. Kevin Storr
|
Kevin Storr, PhD, Professor of Physics, traveled to Burundi Africa
this summer, 2014, with undefined expectations. He was scheduled to attend the
National Youth Conference in Burundi with a delegation.
Prof. Storr shared with us the following comments. "In regard
to the conference, I envisioned interacting with the participants, hearing
their stories and expectations and how best my presence and presentations would
serve the occasion. I listened to different speakers, observed the responses of
the attendees, was engaged in the conference as the young people led the way
and I found myself inspired." He went on to tell us, "I am enamored
with the positivity of the young people...and I believe they will contribute to
the definition and growth of their country." He said, "I realized
that one has to become a two-way gate...prepared to give...prepared to take in.
This all leads to becoming educated, valuable global citizens engaged in the
exchange and trade of culture and ideas."
This is the New Burundi!
