"I have been inspired by the advancement in technology by Israel (to solve our everyday problems) by seeing with my own eyes what the country has achieved this far albeit under very tough conditions. This has enhanced my knowledge which I will share with relevant people when I go back to my country so that we can emulate this."

I was glad to see the efforts made to create green areas in the desert. This must be encouraged because that’s one way that we can create enough carbon sinks to help deal with climate change. GIMI gives you the opportunity to see ongoing smart / eco initiatives that help improve agriculture and protect the environment at large."
