laid, and now it is time to build upon it with conviction, dedication and
innovation. As we step into Year 2 of LEAP Kiphire, let us challenge ourselves
to dream bigger. Let us aim for every school in Kiphire to be digitally equipped,
every teacher to be digitally trained and every student to be digitally
empowered,” said Takatemjen Pongen, EAC of Kiphire, during the launch event.
