Solomon Mburu replied to Barrack Otieno's discussion Youth and IG in East Africa in the group East Africa IG"I have a feeling that the involvement of the youth should not be 'a take and go' approach.

- Where did you ¨discover¨ this Community portal?
- While attending the Internet governance forum in Nairobi Kenya
- What are you currently doing today and projects you have related to Internet governance?
- I run a community based organisation called project discovery.

I am also active in advocacy work aimed at ensuring we have better policy and governance frameworks in the Information and Communciations Technology Arena.
- In which ways the capacity building provided by Diplo has helped you and your community in Internet governance issues? (Question only for IGCBP Alumni)
- The capacity building has broadened my scope of thinking, one of the key lessons i have learnt is the strength of diversity which is at the core of the Internet. Through Diplo, i have met amazing people from all corners of the world, interacting with people such a Jovan, the Director, Vladar, Ginger, Mwende, Walu, Owera, Seiiti and Subhodeep among many others has left a lasting impression on me. I think the Diplo program was a timely idea, i think all fellows and Alumni moreso from developing nations need to collaborate and coordinate their efforts for this is the only way we shall catch up with developing nations
