YES Alumni Tech Innovation Camp



    So we are here, an awesome Tech camp about to start. YES Alumni from all over Pakistan gathered for an innovative Tech Camp. Alumni from Karachi, Gawadar, Lahore and Dhera Ghazi Khan are here, Islamabadis about to arrive. Alumni with their  laptops, cellphones, ipad and introduction part is at peak, use your imagination.

An amazing workshop that has been designed to empower the alumni to create and implement their own solutions to pressing problems in their communities.

Alumni are expecting to learn and explore new technologies for developing innovative, creative and local solutions to problems in their local communities. So far a number of Alumni have already arrived and are busy with socializing and reporting through blogging and video making.


Our very own Christine (YES Alumni Coordinator from US), and the trainers for the week Charity from Kenya and Jahanzaib and Awais from Lahore are also here with the alumni!

Excited YESers on arrival
      "The common thing is that we all are excited. I hope to learn more about those big terms we read in the pre-camp survey. When I read those terms I was like I don't know much about them. So, hopes are high to have fun and learn to innovate". (Sualeha,YES 10)
