The 4th Annual Harambe Bretton Woods Symposium (HBWS) 2011
(March 24th - 27th, 2011)
In the President of the Alliance's words:
"The HBWS IV gathered young African social entrepreneurs attending top academic institutions in Canada, China, Germany, Italy, South Africa, United Kingdom, and the United States. The fourth class of HEA Associates reflects the maturity and focus of our “Dream on a Piece of Paper” and is a testament to the commitment and preparation of the next generation of African professionals.
HEA 2011 Associates are spearheading initiatives in 9 African countries and 8 different fields of interest: branding Africa, business ventures, community development, education and ICT, health, micro-enterprise, women empowerment, and youth leadership." - Okendo Lewis-Gayle

| Day 3: HBWS - Reading the Harambe Bretton Woods Declaration.... " ... We, therefore, sons and daughters of Africa, assembled in Harambe Endeavor, with the assistance of those who have come before us and those who share our vision, publish and declare our intention to work together as one to unleash the potential of Africa’s people, pursue the social, political and economic development of our continent and fulfill the dream of our generation. We believe in the unlimited power of ideas and the immediate need for action; we value the untapped potential of Sub-Saharan Africa and we sustain that our continent’s greatest resource is its people. Our mission is to empower a people, to inspire a nation and forge the destiny of a continent... "...Like Ayn Rand, we refuse to lose our knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. We will not let our fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. We will not let the hero in our soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life our continentdeserves, but has never been able to reach... "...We will check our road and the nature of our battle, yet in theend, the Africa our generation desires can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is ours." |
