Within Reach

Within Reach
We had a Leadership Day on July 4th, and Jace, an intern and part of the Leadership Summit Department, had the opportunity to see just how much the values that are taught at the Leadership Days truly impact the students who attend.

She met two girls, Patricia and Olivia, and what started as a brief exchange of ‘Hello, how are you?’ quickly turned into a more serious conversation. The two girls shared with Jace all the things that have changed in their lives and in others’ lives as a result of what they learned at the past Leadership Day. Their eyes shone as they recounted how they’ve been working to positively impact their entire communities, not just their peers. Seeing their newfound passion for the betterment of their lives and others only served to encourage Jace, and to show her that the seemingly impossible goal of changing Africa is not only possible, but within reach.
