“I would like to say a big thank you to PPIAI for the PPIAI-coding class initiative. Recently I was informing a brother in about the python language course that we are learning and there is a gentleman who was sitting next to us listening to our conversation and just after he asked me if I already knew how to code in python I said not yet but I'm still learning. The gentleman in question gave me his contact and asked me to call him at the end of my training because he has a team of developers and he is looking for someone who masters the python language. Now I can see how this training is precious and constitutes a real opportunity for us Africans.  I would also like to encourage my classmates to hold on because the training will really help us in a dimension that will even surprise us.”
