“We want our journey to demonstrate what’s possible with imagination, collaboration and action. We want to overturn the widely held belief that it is difficult to cross borders and travel within our continent. Through this we aim to illustrate that the distances between us need not separate us. We will do all this by leveraging off the virtual relationships that we have managed to forge, thanks to social media, internet and mobile technology.” said the Team.
