From a bright mind denied access to mathematics to a satellite engineer. The Note That Changed a Generation is not just a book – it is a labor of love that took years to come to fruition. It started with a simple idea and through hard work and relentless pursuit, we were able to achieve our goal.
"Having a brother who cares so deeply about his siblings that he would stand up to a colonialist and get the village access to education was a memory that I hold dear. Getting to first place in the district examinations together with my brother proved that we had the potential for greatness. But the road was full of challenges, risks, and sometimes life-threatening conditions that we overcame. Sharing our journey is a way to encourage you that despite the challenges you are facing, you can emerge victorious!"
