From leaders to Leadership – Sold their possessions to invest in Women Leadership in Africa

March 2011
Suzanne F Stevens and her husband, Michael K. Gingerich, have recently sold their home and much of their worldly possessions in order to embarked on an incredible journey they call ‘Mission Africa.’ Their mandate is to celebrate all that is good in Africa. They will focus on the beauty and possibilities of Africa for the world stage to appreciate. They are writing blogs from both of their perspectives and creating a photo journal depicting Africa through the lens of opportunity. Together they are on a journey of you, me and we. The possibilities are endless.

This fourteen-month journey will commence in March 2011 starting in Kenya, Ethiopia and South Africa.  For the first half of their travels they will spend five to six Weeks in each of the five regions of Africa. Much of this time will be dedicated to conducting interviews for the Wisdom Exchange, raising funds for the Ignite Excellence Foundation, and Africa Business Women Summit. Join them on their journey. www.youmewe.ca
