I am trading my heels for hiking boots to do my part in supporting Leaders for the Future.
This group of Young People deserve this opportunity to learn in the Leadership Development Programme as they have fought against abject poverty for their talents to be recognised.
I am a leader who understands that others have given to me to help where I am today. So, this is about giving back and supporting our Leaders of tomorrow.
I am a busy business woman, mother to 2 teenage children, a husband and 2 cats. My regime to prepare for the trek will begin after Christmas celebrations......
It has been my privilege to meet previous Leadership Development students from other parts of the World who are making a difference in their communities.
I have been a supporter of Compassion for over a decade, personally sponsoring children and helping as an Advocate. If I believe the World can be a better place then I have to do something today to help that be a reality for young people who will be the leaders of tomorrow.
Poverty steals away opportunity and diminishes hope. I am hopeful that hope can be given to those Young Talented People who deserve this opportunity.
