Mobile computing is the way to go, Rwanda should not lag behind

Editor, This is something to crow about and I really like it. After reading the story from The New Times, what I did is head straight to the Google Play Store to download the app. I just searched its name and found the app immediately. What I can say is that the young man (Sangwa Rwabuhihi) did a great job in creating the app. This is an example of what we can do if we embrace technology. Keep it up Sangwa!

Keep it up Sangwa!Liliane, Kigali,Rwanda*******************This is another IT accomplishment that Rwanda – no matter how embryonic it remains – must be proud of. It looks like the programmer (Sangwa) took too much time to consider every detail of the design. From the screenshot I’m seeing at the Google Play Store, I can say that the app looks great – it even works as you expect.But I have one suggestion to the designer: it seems like the app isn’t available yet on the entire market. Please make it available worldwide. Keep up the good work. Thank you.Hugues, Bangalore,India*******************You’ve done something really great, Sangwa. The country needs young men and women in this fast-moving IT world. I hope Rwandans in the Diaspora, will be able to download the app. Thank you for your hard work and representing your country at this level. We look forward to more apps from you.Joe Muvuna, California,USA*******************I knew from the first time that Sangwa would make it to the top of the ladder when it comes to technology. I first met him in 2004 at Lycée de Kigali. He was always busy creating websites from scratch by writing codes himself. If I remember well, few people had the web programming skills at the time.Keep it up, Sangwa.Védaste, Kigali,RwandaReactions to the story, "Interview: The Rwandan student who built mobile application”, (The New Times, May 6)
