We finally kicked off !



PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN 2014

Hello friends. Greetings and love from Kampala, Uganda. On behalf of the High school Leadership Initiative, we would like to let you know that we are already "frying the fish". we finally started our operations this year.


INTRODUCTION:

 The H.L.D.I…also known as the High school Leadership Development Initiative was launched early this year, though it started informally late last year (2013). This is a program that is geared towards fostering youth leadership development in the high schools in Uganda. It is merely a lower segment of A.Y.L F (Africa Youth Leadership Forum) a project that targets university students all over Eastern and Sub Saharan Africa. The High school program is meant to provide leadership mentoring to Higschool students while A.Y.L.F caters for university student leaders.

AIMS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (H.L.D.I)
*      To foster reconciliation, solidarity and unity among young Ugandan leaders across all the existing racial, tribal and religious divides.
*      To promote and support a servant leadership model for Ugandan Leaders.
*      To identify the principles and emulate the Leadership qualities of Jesus of Nazareth, and those leaders who throughout history have embodied these ideals.
*      To foster long term, meaningful relationships among young emerging Ugandan leaders across ethnic and religious divides.
*      To highlight and emulate successful African and world class leaders who have championed unity and reconciliation

EXPECTED OUTCOMES:
Ø  Provide an avenue where young leaders will interact and share leadership challenges within their nation.
Ø  To establish a network through which young leaders will spear head reconciliation in their nations.
Ø  To provide re-conciliatory mechanism that will allow the future leadership of the region to resolve conflicts.
