GRATITUDE

n an effort to live up to the promise of the Harambe Bretton Woods Declaration and fulfill the mission of our Alliance, the Harambe Entrepreneur Alliance held the fourth annual Harambe Bretton Woods Symposium.

The HBWS IV gathered young African social entrepreneurs attending top academic institutions in Canada, China, Germany, Italy, South Africa, United Kingdom, and the United States. The fourth class of HEA Associates reflects the maturity and focus of our “Dream on a Piece of Paper” and is a testament to the commitment and preparation of the next generation of African profes-sionals.

HEA 2011 Associates are spearheading initiatives in 9 African countries and 8 different fields of interest: branding Africa, business ventures, community development, education and ICT, health, micro-enterprise, women empowerment, and youth leadership.

Thanks to the support of HBWS Engagement Partners, GlaxoSmithKline and the Intel Corporation, the HBWS IV also marked the launch of the first series of Harambe Fellowships and Headstarts, summer grants to propel the efforts of young African social entrepreneurs.

This year’s Associates also enjoy the benefits of a more globally recognized brand, due in large part to our prestigious gatherings in the British and Ghanaian Parliament held in October and February respectively as well as our invitation to participate in President Obama’s Forum with Young African Leaders at the White House in August of last year.

The successes and failures of the past four years have strengthened our ability to capture, inform and engage the next generation of African professionals in the development of Africa and deep-ened our commitment to the spirit of the Harambe Bretton Woods Declaration “yet in the end, the Africa our generation desires can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is ours.”

Sincerely,

April 2011

Accra, February 16, 2011

Over the past twelve months our Alliance has begun to share the Harambe experience beyond Bretton Woods and in the process further established HEA as a global

and Pan-African brand.

Our Mission is to

Africa’s global intellectual capital toward a sustained, strategic and concerted

development of the African continent.

Attract Highly QualifiedYoung African Professionals

“In the midst of all the resources that abound in Africa, it is quite paradoxical to see that

development and growth have not been at an appreciable level.”

Sample of HEA Associates 2011

“African controlled funding and management of small and medium enterprises that cater to the demands of the rest of the world is vital.”

“I was driven to study medicine not only because of my desire to help others but also because my strong interest in the sciences.”

“Getting together in a concerted and collective movement, with the clear intention

to solely focus on addressing challenges and opportunities on the African continent.”

“A new wave of young women and men, armed with a burning resolve, enabled by global networks...hold the key to solving Africa’s social and economic problems.”

“I am passionate about giving back to Kenya and the continent at large and I am in a privileged position to do so.”
