My name is Dauda Bangura. I recently graduated from Fort Hays State University.

On November 24, 2025, I volunteered with Nex-Tech and had the opportunity to work with Mr. Friday Otuya, who is the Community Engagement Specialist. During that day, I had the opportunity to visit two cities in central and northwest Kansas.

In Great Bend, we visited the Great Bend Public Library to see the results of a donation that was funded by Nex-Tech. The donation was used to acquire an age-appropriate computer learning interface, equipped with academic materials to support children’s technological learning and problem-solving skills.

In Norton, Nex-Tech installed public Wi-Fi in Elmwood National Park. This project was designed to keep the community connected year-round while enjoying Mother Nature and outdoor activities.

As a digital marketing graduate, I documented these events from a digital perspective and began to understand how Nex-Tech connects with people, their communities, and businesses, and how it goes beyond providing broadband connectivity. At the end of the day, I learned that they are also investing in community development and engagement, scholarships, donations, sponsorship, home security solutions, and more.
