Last week's Global Leadership Summit had a profound impact on my thinking about how to help end poverty in a sustainable way.
What impacted me the most was the discussion on “Trade vs. Aid” delivered by Andrew Rugasira, Founder and CEO, Good African Coffee and African Trade Advocate. As an economist and native Ugandan educated in London, he has made the case for all of us that there is an economic answer to growing the African economy in a sustainable way while pooling together the efforts of those in even the most remote corners of the continent.
We all need to discover further how we can use our God given gifts to impact the least of these with real economic solutions.
My prayer is how God can use me as an entrepreneur and business professional to get more involved in driving the economy of the third world.
Please join me on August 5 & 6, 2010 to fill your leadership tank!
