Dr. Britt Yamamoto on July 3rd, 2011One of the things that makes the iLEAP International Fellowship training unique is our strong emphasis on collaboration and network building. From Day One of the training in Seattle, Fellows are encouraged and challenged to consider new ways of working within their communites and to forge new partnerships at the local, regional, and global levels.

Andy Davey (TTL'09) on August 6th, 2009I’m very aware that my perspective is bound to be full of biases and blind spots, and that two months is only a tiny sliver of time. Furthermore, I may say something below that is flat out wrong or will offend someone. Nevertheless, I’m simply going to offer my perspective as I see it and [...]
Betty Kagoro (IF'09, Uganda) on June 24th, 2009Finally I made it to Washington DC and my wish came true! When I was leaving for US, I couldn’t find a better explanation for my 5-year- old daughter.

Emmanuel G.V. Dolo (IF'09, Liberia) on May 23rd, 2009Again, I agree with Dr. Dambisa Moyo that Africa needs more Capitalism and entrepreneurship It is time for each African to be serious about doing something to improve himself. We all need to work for what we need, which in my view economists refer to as Capitalism. However, looking at the imbalance academic and economic [...]
Emmanuel G.V. Dolo (IF'09, Liberia) on May 20th, 2009I feel sad to see many African brothers and Sisters in the Diasporas neglecting their social, political and economic responsibilities to motherland. Often, brilliant sons and daughters who received their education overseas refused to go back home to rescue their villages. Even those who are educated in Africa have fled to the Diasporas for what [...]
