Last reflection. Overall, my trip has been pretty insightful and meaningful. Apart from working on our cultural work, I also got to know more about the local, Ugandan culture as well as the larger, African culture. Likewise, the environment and the challenges here are far different than in developed countries. As a fintech student, I thought finance and tech were the means to quickly develop a country, but it turns out that the challenges of health and environmental preservation are much more meaningful and important than developing FinTech.
Other than this, I also made some very meaningful friendships with the local people. The children at the primary school remind me ofwhen I was a kid in South America, and just like them, I used play football every single day.
Anyhow, I have much to thoroughly reflect upon my experiences later on, but this is the last reflection I am forced to do (lol).
Currently, a student majoring in Financial Technology at HKU. Areas of interest include finance, economics, politics, and Web 3.
