YALDA Hosts “Adopt An Idea” Fundraising Dinner
Youth Alliance for Leadership and Development (YALDA) will be hosting its “Adopt an Idea” Fundraising Gala Dinner tomorrow. YALDA is an international non-profit organization established in 2004 by African students who once studied at Harvard University. The aim of this event is to increase the capacity of youth in Africa to develop positive leadership skills and espouse a honest work ethic.
At the dinner, eight young innovators identified during the YALDA 2012 International Conference will present their unique ideas those who are truly committed to Africa’s development.
