US-AFRICA AMBASSADORSHIP 2012 2ND ANNUAL EDITION

US-Africa Synergy Inc is proud to present the 2012 Edition of The US-Africa Ambassadorship Scheduled on November 10 from 04:00 to 11:00 PM at Mason Hall, Baruch College Performing Art Center, in Manhattan between Lexington Avenue and 23rd Street.

The US-Africa Ambassadorship is a Leadership Program launched in 2010 to develop the self-confidence and build the self-esteem in addition to uplifting and inspiring young African women. It’s also a platform to raise awareness on issues affecting women in African communities and to uphold the African heritage in the United States.

12 women from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo Brazzaville, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Guinea-Conakry, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Senegal and South Africa will deliver a memorable show of talents while competing for the prestigious titles of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd US-Africa Ambassadors.

The active participation of the African community and of the large public is paramount for the success of the program and a motivating factor to foster the leadership and entrepreneurship skills of our daughters and sisters enrolled in the US-Africa Ambassadorship.

Leading to the memorable event of November 10, 2012, the candidates will engage each other and the public through a streaming debate at www.usafricambassadorship.org and will participate in outreach activities in the African community.

Due to limited seating, advanced RSVP is highly recommended through the link:
