Hello, I am Semira Jemal a rising senior at Lebawi Academy. I am passionate about economics and computer science. The experience I had as an intern at Yazmi helped me to explore my passion in a real life working environment.
A curious African man wanted to go back to university to answer only one question. The question was how did Europe develop after going through the Dark Age. It took him two years to find an answer. Cleopatra a very beautiful and intelligent queen of Egypt was loved by Roman rulers, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Antony was jealous because of her love for Julius Caesar and one day because of his anger he burnt the Alexandria library. This library had most of the worlds knowledge and wisdom but when it burnt down there was no way to regain. Unfortunately, the Arabs had translated the books that were found in the library into their language. At that time the Ottoman Turk Empire started to expand into Europe through Spain. When the Arabs settled in Europe the Europeans also started translating the books that were translated by Arabs. Afterwards there was the invention of the printing press which facilitated the expansion of knowledge. It was because of the above cause that the Renaissance and other intellectual movement started. This answer was a turning point for Noah Samara the founder and CEO of Yazmi. He came to conclude that it was the transfer of information that changed Europe and the whole world. This inspired him to create the first satellite enabled content delivery system that could be accessed without the need of internet and electricity. The motto of the company is beaming knowledge to everyone. Yazmi offers a scalable, cost effective, easy to use and portable connectivity solution. Yazmi can help by providing educational, training and continuous professional development contents to students, teachers, and others. Yazmi is capable of multicasting live and pre-recorded content across Africa. Yazmi has successfully worked with various governments, capacity building and training institutes across Africa, with positive results from users.
Yazmi has now opened its office in Ethiopia and also have its office in USA. There was something unique about the soft opening. There were no music bands like other openings, the program was intended to send a message about the value of education. You may think that someone would come out and read about the importance of education, no that was not the case. Rather, students who have been through different life situations shared their challenge and success. Though, every students story was different, all were students of Lebawi Academy. When guests heard their stories, some laughed, while others cried.
