Connect with community and meet global leaders like:

Frederic Bauma, unjustly jailed for 17 months in his recent attempts to create a just and equitable society in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His mission is to become "a sentinel of democracy and good governance." He leads a nonviolent youth organization called La Lucha.

Cristian Eteo Botau, leading the movement for freedom of thought, expression and action in Equatorial Guinea. 

Estela Simaj Rafael, a community organizer leading indigenous rights and women's rights in Guatemala.

Dau Nyoi of Myanmar, the director of a social development foundation, whose vision is that communities "are equipped with knowledge about democracy and (involved) in building a democratic society (so that they) become more responsible and accountable."

Francoise Nibizi of Burundi, who founded and is Executive Director of an organization to promote community health through information, education, and awareness.

Obed Kabanda, the founder and CEO of a healthcare organization, working toward his dream for Uganda, "where public and private leaders...are morally upright, responsive to human needs, accountable and are delivering sustainable quality services to citizens."

Peter Ndayihereje, a musician who has integrated cultural dance as part of the healing of his village through a health clinic in Kigutu, Burundi.

Rene Guilingen of the Phillippenes, who believes that empowerment is at the heart of sustainability, because a self-sufficient community can develop its own policies to preserve the culture and environment. "It is also a community that can nurture leaders for the country," he says.

Wendo Sahar Aszed of Kenya, who founded Dandilion Africa to provide health and entrepreneurial support for women and youth in marginalized areas. "Today when I see women who are in our programs, (I) am humbled to see them with businesses, good health, planned families and well informed of their choices in life." she says.
