Ambassador Kaahwa also highlighted the importance of good leadership, stating that it lies in humble beginnings and the power of passionate young leaders coming together as a network to create the change they hope to see. She emphasized that every individual is a person of change, and by changing a group, they could change a village, a country, a continent, and the whole world.

The Ambassador’s speech was a timely reminder of leaders’ crucial role in shaping the future. She encouraged AAI scholars to take leadership roles and leverage their academic knowledge to drive positive change in their communities and countries.

In closing, Ambassador Kaahwa expressed her gratitude to Ashinaga and its work to empower young African students to work towards achieving their goals.

It was a reminder that leadership is not only about achieving personal success but also about making a difference in the lives of others. As AAI scholars continue their academic journeys, they will undoubtedly keep Ambassador Kaahwa’s words close to their hearts and strive to be the change they want to see in the world.
