Its 11:55am and am about to board a bus to Toronto from Ottawa. As we stand infront of the Delta City Center packing our bags into the bus, I reminiscent hours earlier how conference had been. A a memorable event I did wish will never came to an end, but ofcourse, everything that has a begining has an end. As we board the bus and drive away I can still feel the vibe, energy , enthusiasm, passion and desire in young people like myself never seen any where else before. This is like nothing ever experienced. Being surrounded by people who desire the good for others, who are living the true meaning of the word Universe-"Uni-one", "verse-spirit, heart , mind".
I can still feel the screams, telling in my head, the screams of excitment and action, one that says we are powerful beyond measure, one that says there is nothing we can't acomplish. I can still feel the challenging words from the speakers, gearing us to "fail" and not remain there, but to learn in the process and do it better and better. I can still feel them inspiring us not be satisfied with any achievement that we have acomplished so far, so that even though we are engineers without borders, we can push the borders of our failures till we are perfect.
As I ride this six hours bus trip to Toronto I envisage what lies ahead of me, and am convinced that my journey has just began.
To all the beautiful people I met, I say lets keep the spirit real and alive, lets fun into flames the fire of make the world and Africa in particular a better place to live. "mbon faa....." Mo ne y3....."
