Thank you to the staff at @google's #Chicago corporate campus for giving our #YALIatND fellows an incredible tour! #YALI2017
The work never stops for our #YALIatND fellows! On the train to #Chicago they pitched business concepts to associate director Melissa Paulsen. Later today they will participate in a pitch competition with fellows from Northwestern and Purdue. #YALI2017
The #YALIatND team is off for a two day trip to #Chicago to meet up with other #YALI2017 fellows from Northwestern and Purdue!
Our 2017 Mandela Washington Fellows are in Detroit today and tomorrow to meet with various business and civic leaders, as well as explore the culture of the Motor City. Currently, they're getting a briefing about the city's QLINE streetcar system. #YALIatND #YALI2017
The Mandela Washington Fellows had a fun time white water rafting at East Race in downtown South Bend last evening! #YALIatND #YALI2017
Community service is a major aspect of the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders and on June 24 our fellows volunteered with The Unity Gardens. The fellows, along with high school students from the Holy Cross Conference for Student Leaders, spent the morning preparing the land for planting, which will be done later this week by children participating in the garden's Kid's Camp. Sara L. Stewart, president and executive director, taught the fellows more about the garden's purpose in #SouthBend, which is primarily to provide fresh, healthy food at no cost to members of the community living in food deserts. Learn more about Unity Gardens' mission and work at theunitygardens.org. See more photos on our Facebook page! #YALI2017 #YALIatND

On June 21, our 2017 Mandela Washington Fellows visited our friends at Better World Books to tour the operation, see first-hand how this $75M operation executes on its business model, and discuss leadership in the social impact and social entrepreneurship spaces with the current management team.

Our Mandela Washington Fellows are headed out for a tour of #SouthBend today! #YALI2017 #YALIatND
We want to offer sincere thanks to South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and the rest of our guests at tonight's welcome reception for welcoming the 2017 Mandela Washington Fellows to the University of Notre Dame and greater #SouthBend communities! #YALI2017 #YALIatND
This past Sunday, consultant John Pinter, the rest of the #YALIatND team, and the 2017 Mandela Washington Fellows participated in a cross-cultural exercise called BaFa' BaFa'. The exercise, which split the group into two very different "Alpha" and "Beta" cultures, allowed all involved to better understand the powerful effects that culture plays in every person’s life. Afterward, the team and the fellows had an honest and productive discussion about some of the cultural challenges they have or may encounter in the U.S. and how to successfully handle them.

Last week, Notre Dame doctoral candidate Lucia Tiscornia (left), Professor Michael Coppedge (second from left), and NDIGD Program Director Tom Hare (third from left) opened a regional learning exchange on human rights and democracy in El Salvador as part of the Regional Project on Human Rights and Democracy (RightsCA). The project, which is led by the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) and funded by USAID, seeks to support educational institutions and civil society organizations working on critical human rights and democracy issues in the region.
