Hi all,
I must admit that the graduation was one hell of an event, starting with the Venue to the presentations and finally the “snacks”.
Nairobits was as usual well represented by the students (Thanks Course 2 and definitely Medialab guys), with Victor orchestrating
the presentation like his Favourite Jazz rythmn.
I would also like to thank VIA Africa for being there and for the wonderful initiatives that they are taking.
For those who missed the event…….i have attached some photos.
The Vijana Tufahamike resource centers will be hosting the third graduation on the 25th September 2009 at the Nyama Villa Hall (Olive Green Hall) in Kayole .
The host of the event will be Diligent School of Hair Design and Beauty and a total of 52 students will be graduating from the following centers: DILIGENT, KCYP, YIKE and MUYOG.
The programme will start from 10:00AM and you are invited.
Media lab students cannot hide their joy as they work on new computers. Nairobits recently procured 30 TFT computers for training. This has improved the training room’s look, making it spacious and more comfortable. The machines are much faster than the old ones and now the students are able to work faster while using numerous heavy applications simultaneously. Its all happy faces every time you walk into the medialab class!
After a month and a half, today NairoBits and her alumni are proud to announce our 75th member on our new alumni social network! After a very short time and less notice to our alumni, most have shown the interest in keeping intouch with the NairoBits fraternity hence their busy schedules. The social network’s objective is to bring all NairoBits alumni together in one forum to share ideas, share their experiences, showcase their recent projects and simply, just keep intouch!

Here is a glimpse of what took place on 11th of September 2009 at the course 1 group 2 graduation. The graduation day started off on a high note,with graduates arriving early, smartly dressed , and excitement on their faces! The ceremony started at 10.00 a.m. The M.C Mark began by welcoming everyone to the event and recognized the presence of the parents and visitors. To warm up the guests, there were entertainments and the presentations begun. The theme of the event was “My Music Shop”. They students were to come up with an imaginary music shop, make a poster for an event hosted by the music shop and C.D. covers (back and front) for the same.
Presentations varied from Hip-hop, Salsa, Reggae, Raggah, Benga, Afro-fusion, Mugithi, Blues, Bongo, R’n’b and Rock. Other entertainments came in-between the sessions ranging from plays, poems and songs. Everyone received a certificate and finally our General Manager closed by thanking all the guests and students not forgetting her staff. Afterwards, we proceeded for a delicious lunch then to the “Mamba Village” for a picnic and team building activities.
This has been a rather fruitful year for NairoBits. We have had a myriad of significant events, not the least the recognition of our general manager for the prestigious Anita Borg Change Agent Awards for 2009. We are deeply honored and continue to be proud of Anne Ikiara, our GM. While we don’t work for recognition, it is always motivating when the work we do is recognized. From the entire team, congratulations Anne!
