| AYN members, Africana, Kama, and Mayah, help serve breakfast to summit attendees. |
We witnessed a huge turnout of yellow-shirted Young Africans at the 5th Annual Chicago Summit on African immigrants and refugees this weekend. It was amazing because waking young college and high students up early on Saturday mornings is not an easy thing. Members of The African Youth Network (AYN) were able to wake up and prove me wrong! For this reason, I will like to applaud those AYN members who took time out of their busy lives to help make this event a success.
Being at the Summit was a great opportunity for AYN members. They had the chance to witness what the first generation is and has been doing for African immigrants and Refugees in the city of Chicago. They were able to be in an educational and resourceful environment which helped enlighten their perspective and change the way they will target and speak on issues in their local communities and in City of Chicago. AYN members had the chance to network and greet attendees from all walks of life. By discussing with other attendees, AYN members had the chance to understand the importance of being at a formal occasion like the Summit.
With their volunteerism AYN displayed that they’re next in line to take leadership roles in the African community. AYN also displayed an important image to the first generation Africans by showing them that the African Youth Network in Chicago is fired up and ready to go! Giving some time back to the community is one of the many objectives that AYN promotes. To join and be part of the AYN, please feel free to email me, Garcon Morweh at garcon.morweh@uniteafricans.org.
