RSVP by 12th May to confirm attendance of Africa Tech Policy Summit Youth Day
with great interest since last week and am excited to stay engaged. Due to
prior work commitments, I will participate online. However, I would like to
extend the invitation for physical attendance to Lucy Nyoro on my behalf.
Kindly confirm the RSVP.
Warm regards,
Loch.
