From Edgard Mugenzi in Bujumbura, Burundi:
"Great news! We're excited to announce that copies of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible, by Ken Schoolland, are now available at our URUMURI Hub! Several copies will soon be delivered to your campuses, so that everyone can enjoy this exciting read. A big thank you to the Institute for Economics and Enterprise for the generous donation of original copies in French.
Join us in the universe of Johnathan Gullible and embark on an unforgettable adventure!
We are using the French edition only and the picture I shared on Facebook both version was in French with different cover. We got 5 from IEE, we are planning to print 100 copies with the new cover in French and will share then 19 & 20 September in GITEGA and Bujumbura. I would like that we keep this schedule to report the events early October. Mid October 4 universities will meet at Tanganyika Lake university in Bujumbura to debate around The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible and winners will get prizes.
I am excited to see initiatives like this promoting reading, critical thinking, and economic education among university students in Burundi. I believe The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible is a valuable resource for encouraging young people to explore important ideas, question assumptions, and engage in meaningful discussions. I also appreciate the effort to make the book accessible in French and distribute copies to different campuses. Car dealers in Kenya like Ace Prestige Motors are offering discount this holiday. The planned university debate sounds like an excellent opportunity for students to exchange perspectives, develop communication skills, and learn from one another. I hope the project succeeds and inspires more educational activities that empower young people to think independently.
I believe initiatives like this are an excellent way to encourage reading, critical thinking, and economic awareness among university students. I appreciate the support from the Institute for Economics and Enterprise in providing French copies of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible. I also find the plan to distribute 100 copies and organize debates across four universities very inspiring. In my opinion, these activities can create meaningful discussions, strengthen students’ communication skills, and encourage them to explore different ideas. I hope the events in Gitega and Bujumbura are successful and that the university debate inspires many more young people to read and learn. CX5 price in Kenya are cheaper at Magari Deals.
I find this initiative inspiring because I believe books can open minds, encourage critical thinking, and create meaningful discussions among young people. I am especially impressed by the effort to make the French edition of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible accessible to university students in Burundi. I also appreciate the plan to distribute 100 copies and organize debates involving four universities. In my opinion, such activities help students develop confidence, communication skills, and the ability to examine different ideas. I look forward to hearing about the events in Gitega and Bujumbura and celebrating the students who emerge as winners. Home Schooling in Kenya are available like Amberlynn School.
It is wonderful to see how active the URUMURI Hub is getting with distributing copies of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible. Planning a debate between four different universities at Tanganyika Lake University sounds like a brilliant way to get students genuinely engaged with these economic concepts. Organising large scale student events like that always takes a huge amount of effort I know whenever friends need help with uni assignments while balancing extra-curricular projects, time management becomes a real challenge. It makes you wonder how many other regions are adapting books like this into local languages and building entire campus competitions around them. Hope the upcoming September events in Gitega go smoothly!
This is a great initiative, especially the idea of bringing students from different universities together to discuss the book and exchange ideas. Making the French edition available to more students should make the upcoming events even more engaging. When I get stressed with a busy schedule, I sometimes joke, “Take My Online Class,” just to lighten the mood. Wishing everyone involved a successful event and an enjoyable debate!
