,

A massive thank you to Ubuntu Pledge for taking part in the second part of our new series, Stars of Our Story! Additional thanks to Mel Christodoulou.

This week's edition features an interview with Daniel from Ubuntu Pledge, a well known local organisation providing digital (and beyond) assistance for the community.

Daniel spoke to us about what the 15th floor of the digital world means, as well as how KCSC's networks helped his organisation make connections and grow their work. Daniel also touched on how he feels comfortable referring people back to us here at KCSC, on occasions where people are searching for something beyond the remit of Ubuntu Pledge. 

The second edition of Stars of Our Story is here.
