WOMEN AVIATORS IN AFRICA
ACTIVITES 2010
The Nairobi International Trade Fair is an annual fair that offers opportunity
for regional, continental, and global exhibitors to display and demonstrate
their services and products to an extensive market of potential clients as well
as students. It also offers an opportunity for those attending the fair to meet
various people from different countries and backgrounds, hence offering them a
chance to exchange ideas and experiences, which is useful to them in their everyday
lives.
Due to the large number of students from around the country attracted to the fair annually, WAFRIC in partnership with other aviation stakeholders are working together to exhibit at the Nairobi International Fair to provide information on the diverse aviation industry and mentorship to students to the end of spurring and influencing their futures. Our main objective for this fair is to leave students equipped with enough information to pursue their goals and ambitions and also with the notion that their dreams can be a realised.
