| Point of View |
|
 “This will be a wonderful opportunity for Young Global Leaders to reinvigorate themselves and devise strategies for the next phase of the YGLs’ work on the Global Redesign Initiative in a unique and different setting. In sampling the true East African experience, YGLs will find themselves simultaneously being enriched and enriching the local communities they will be engaging.”
