The Future African Leaders Continue To Impact Their Country

 

When we read about the impact that the Future African Leaders Foundation has on the landscape of Africa we are held in awe of the testimonies. These brilliant and vibrant young people have achieved so much in their young lives and are heartwarming to hear how they continue to develop. Mentoring and training are key to their success.

 

 

In Calabar, Nigeria a Future Africa Leaders’ Summit was held. Pastor Vale Odu-Thomas facilitated this inspiring time for the expectant young leaders. The topic, ’Global Relevance In Today’s World’’ fired up the 118 young people from different parts of Cross River State for global dominance. The Esteemed Pastor Vale Odu-Thomas expanded the idea of the ‘self-determining character of the mind,’ and how to fully maximize its capacity to achieving goals and making a global impact. During the summit, new ideas on how to implement changes were voiced. This summit has further encouraged young people to impact their world with the ‘investment of their personality.’
