Leadership Statement:
<div>Two years ago, I went to Burkina Faso to purchase a land with $5,000 I won because of my community involvement in the Dallas area. I went to a meeting and as we were coming home at mid-night, I saw some young boys sitting under the street lights. I asked my host what they were doing and she explained that they do not have electricity in their homes and they came out to use the lights on the highway. My heart just went out to them and the next day, I decided to build a youth center where they will all come to learn and study. This organization is unique because I am an African, trained in the United States both in the corporate America to help train the Africans in Africa.</div>
