Joseph Ubek, Nigerian Student: “Leadership Initiatives enables me to educate those struggling in my community: the illiterate and drug-addicted youth. I really appreciate and commend the work of the program staff; the training they provide in conjunction with the support of the mentors not only ensures the success of our programs but compels us, the students, to flourish as responsible and accountable leaders.”
Dr. A. H. Uga, Mentor: “I am involved with Leadership Initiatives because it invests in the future of young people and that is my passion. Teaching young people to be independent, especially in a country like Nigeria, is a worthwhile investment. Secondly, I am particularly thrilled that the program is changing the lives of people who are otherwise less privileged.”
Joshua Ngwakawa, Nigerian Student: “In my life I have come to learn that we cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own. The Computer Literacy Project I created not only illuminates the path of those who yearn to share the benefits of technology, but it has allowed me to touch the lives of many in my community in this special way. I am a proud student of Leadership Initiatives.”
