Witnessed & celebrated 150 of our graduates passing the torch to a new batch of 200 learners at one of ALX hubs in Ethiopia last week. The energy was simply unmatched! 🔥
Met David, an @alx_africa student, while on a walk with Barney. Last week something similar happened at the airport. Whenever I travel in Africa, I bump into our students. Proud to see our team's hard work gaining this level of recognition & attracting brilliant young leaders!
