Testimonials
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the CBLI Team for organizing this training. To me, the nine months journey has been quite transformational. I believe my contribution to MCT will be of more merit than it was before the training. I have learnt a lot, I thank you and I cannot take for granted the effort you put to train us all. I will make YOU proud and promote the social justice cause.
Thank you,
Saumu Mwalimu, MCT
Thank you for the super mentorship program which have nurtured us to be better leaders to a great extent. I believe we will not continue with business as usual but rather become leaders who reason critically and do informed decisions. We will also be your good ambassadors wherever we are.
Ahsanteni sana.
