On November 1, 2013, at the 10th Anniversary Ceremony of Kyoto College of The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics (KCGI) held at the Main Hall of the Satellite in front of Kyoto Station, a computer presentation ceremony was held for the Republic of Malawi.At the presentation ceremony, Deputy Chief of Mission Rosemary said, "Malawi has a serious shortage of computers and a lack of IT education.The donation will not only help to advance IT education in our country, but will also enable young people to learn about events around the world through the Internet.We thank KCG again and hope to continue our cooperation in the future," he said.
