2010 MAY AYLF GATHERING.

2010 MAY AFRICA YOUTH LEADERSHIP FORUM GATHERING, NAIROBI KENYA

On behalf of the hosting members of the Kenya National Prayer Breakfast Committee and Africa Youth Leadership Forum Kenya, I would like to inform you of 2010 gathering from May 26th-28th, 2010 in Nairobi, Kenya. Invitation letters have been sent to participants selected to attend this gathering. The gathering will be held at the Jumuia Conference Centre and Home, Limuru. The event is part of the activities preceding the National Prayer Breakfast event.

The Africa Youth Leadership Forum was launched in 2007as part of the National Prayer Breakfast. In the last years we have continued to organize gatherings of this type in Nairobi and Kampala along the National prayer Breakfast activities in those countries with a focus on motivating the young people in leadership to focus on the role of faith, values and character in their dispensation.

The theme of the gathering this year is “Connect, Mentor and Lead”.

This forum is an opportunity for Young Leaders from Universities & after University within the East African region, and beyond to discuss principles based on the leadership examples of Jesus.

These young leaders come from various political, ethnic and religious backgrounds but by focusing on the principles, precepts and person of Jesus – we seek to create a common ground for discussing fundamental issues relating to leadership and unity despite our religious, ethnic and political differences.

The participants in this year’s event will be around 80-100 Student/Youth Leaders from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Africa among others. Also present at the gathering and Prayer Breakfast will be Senior and Older leaders, members of parliament and other invited as guests.

For posterity we serve.
