I was recently invited by the US Embassy to participate in a three week exposure under the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) on NGO Management. The IVLP which is sponsored by the U.S Department of State has distinguished alumni which include such individuals as Margaret Thatcher, Anwar Sadat, Giscard D'Estaing, Indira Gandhi, Julius Nyerere, F.W. deKlerk, Tony Blair and our very own Anwar Ibrahim. I feel very honoured to be given the privelage to participate in such a program.
My program focus is on NGO Management. Key areas of interest that have been suggested for our program line up include Permaculture, Environmental Awareness, Media Literacy, Participative Arts, Alternative-Informal Education/Learning, Youth Development and Support, Community Development, and Fundraising and networking.
I will leave for the US on the 30th of August. The program will end on the 19th of September. It is less than a month away!
Is this for real? I still can't believe that I am actually going to the US, and I can't think of a better time to go... with the seeds of change wafting in the air. I hope I bump into Obama ...
