Africas Next Generation of Leaders: On Monday, President Obama hosted a town hall with 500 of Africas most inspirational and promising young leaders. The participants are in the Washington Fellowship program, which is part of the President Obamas Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), created by the President in 2010. These young leaders came from all over Africa to the United States to gain new skills, expand their networks, and strengthen the connections between the United States and Africa. Despite the challenges that Africa faces, the President told the crowd that they should be optimistic about the trajectory of their countries: The great thing about being young is you are not bound by the past, and you can shape the future. whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/07/28/empowering-africas-next-generation-leaders?utm_source=snapshot&utm_medium=email&utm_content=822014-blog
