At the Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN), student development is at the heart of everything we do—and today, we proudly celebrate a milestone that reflects that commitment. Two outstanding students, Nkosiphile Sekole (BSc Agricultural Mechanization) and Didimalang Elizabeth Lekwete (BSc Animal Science), have been selected for an esteemed exchange opportunity through Awesome Travel’s prestigious Experiential Learning Program in the United States.

 

This opportunity is made possible by a forward-looking Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between BUAN and Awesome Travel—just one example of how BUAN is actively forging partnerships that empower students beyond the classroom. For the next three months, Nkosiphile and Didimalang will engage in a transformative blend of professional training, hands-on agricultural experience, and cultural exchange, gaining global perspectives that will enrich both their personal and academic journeys. More than a travel opportunity, this program exemplifies BUAN’s mission to prepare its students for leadership, innovation, and impact in the agricultural sector—locally and globally. Even more exciting, this initiative lays the foundation for a 12-month agricultural exchange program soon to be introduced, opening even greater doors for future BUAN students.

 

In the past BUAN is known for creating platforms for its students to participate in international programs in countries such as Israel, Germany and Finland. This is a way of supporting our students and ensuring that our students are ready to thrive on the world stage
