It was a pleasure meeting you the other day although it was a brief meeting. It seems we have a lot in common and i share a similar vision with you. As a Chemical Engineer I see a lot of potential in Africa and I would like to see more home grown solutions to our problem. I will be delighted to learn a lot from your experiences.
