This is what happens when you provide facilities and opportunities for young people. A lot can be said about the lifestyle of young people in Kenya, but their innovation with the little they have is unquestionably fantastic.

sio kwa ubaya, but what he is doing isnt exactly innovative vile @Nattydread amesingizia hapo juu. the one commendable thing is the university having a 3d printer for innovators to use. So let us just say it is a step towards greatness for the student if he does not get stuck at printing swabs alone
