Chidubem’s story

 

chidubem

Chidubem is a 12 year old TechKids student at the Owerri Digital Village (ODV) in Nigeria. He first learned about YTF’s work from a neighbor and says he enjoys his time learning as the “aunties” and “uncles” (as he refers to the teachers at ODV) are very nice and are patient.

Chidubem’s favorite subject in school is social studies because he learns about different cultures and people. He says he is blessed that he is able to attend the TechKids program as a scholarship recipient and hopes that many other young people, like him, will have the opportunity to attend. He wants to be an engineer when he grows up because he likes to use his hands to build things. “In what ‘ways’ can we develop Africa? Airways, railways and others.” he said. “These are the ‘ways’. Africa needs infrastructure and it starts with having good engineers”.

Chidubem’s hobby is reading and he recently completed, “The Black Stallion’s Filly”, a book that inspired him to want to travel to see the world. “One day, I may just end up at the Kentucky Derby, he said. I will love that!”
