a new career keep on occasions develop a living and they will be called a small startup in my friends called bt and consultants we create tools even i will go on to use more news challenges to design a mobile phone app to help william and millions of other small scale kenyan farmers who believe it's cool and it's not a crazy may be a sideshow it's just most people don't get the ball but. this is my favorite joints one reason because the best jazz in town on these on number two they have the best games on. the road be on his own work and go it is like that there could be so all the techies hollow tell. me. it's a good time to be moving in there i'll be on the supreme said. excite. kenya's

one of their projects to be likely to be because we've secured some funds for low pay look one of the arabs who do development is fun and gives you the chance to create you create something and you see people use it i mean. so just watch and pray from there you can't compare it to going to. the point of formation of whatever they are and no mobile phones are very cheap and therefore the. coverage more than anything else. lord will not change it's more feature it's part of a logical system which is the information services what up to the minute information services what excess people who are in trouble places. back in uganda it's the start of the long reigns for william it's time to plant.

somebody and wouldn't be now a days or. a. key to come. sealed to. make it but. so can more new help william become the farmer he wants to be. filmmaker tony who helped come up with a life apps idea new a challenge that he contra fuse is task to create a mobile application that can help farmers like william. agreed to take seven days out of his busy schedule to crack it so you can just talk to him to just figure out

problems out and see if you can develop a solution for him ok so down to the month you can just. look with only i'm. number twenty. five. me. ok. toss asante ok. so we're good. good for the turn it's ok phone calls all the things. you you. you you you. you you you you always researches customers needs normally in nairobi williams you gania is eight hours wakes you.

up but. is that a given. to you and you. no you only. really believe. this but. when they claim something experienced people believe. what they're doing then see what the. new year will yield the usual. legal you'll begin to mine the moon us to work out what's stopping william making better use of his two acres. then he can design an app to help you. be a little tough to the sun and i don't think when danny range is up and up and began

nailing s.f. enough for ice of double to double up but i love one of these sunni. invent a limit going to some balcony or to like you know no sex wednesdays and he says that the most mbanga mean a to be defined in the b. ditch he is in to be defined be he may be defined c. says that killing him in again or let me marry is equal this is. the same to me bunda and damn i'm seeing who mark idea you would be anywhere not a double minded man because. now says i keep on buying up to some busyness seem cool. nevil is internet fun aviation ok somehow become a pilot and making a scene from you seem. to not find the. name maggie says and the total inane. and i says i am doing nothing when i'm lying. and then

he said when i talk when i'm with that one door and all of them one of them. william suffers from the same problems a small scale farmers globally he has no modern water pumps he can't afford fertilizes and without proper transport he can only still crops locally so williams joined a farmers group to try and pool knowledge and resources to kink human embryo you can do the phones will. thing and as i'm in there. again i'm again. going to be able to link here. with me with it to say as it gets into bed and you assess it and then said and then go to what he said what he said. well it will go nice and i said forget the so called science and you have to tango yet when it comes right down to live as soon. you can is that the fact that really a miserably in a group it's barely two months old it's

a starting point because it's already brought people together so even you developing a solution to that and he's going to be a platform and you can use them one of the test groups or a focus group and also start from hearing problems from other phones as well because now we've had to both really and maybe another families facing a slightly different problem. to my. city boy will use about a taste some kenyan country cooking with william special needs is indigenous kenyan vegetables. and even quite a class going to thank the food before we take it to the sex crazed he may turn into a question that limbo king yes i mind he said but you you you you you you know you. you.
