Inspiration from the Back of Beyond: Interview with a Young Tanzanian |
PRINTABLE VERSION |
But even with all these achievements, Leonard aspires to do international internships or volunteerism. He sees this as a means to share his practical experience with other organizations, as well as to learn from others. “I hope one day to be an international musician singing songs with messages for social change like the MDGs, Human rights, Peace etc.”
Surely if this can’t inspire one young person to also stand up and be counted in any of the myriad of developmental issues, even a trip to the moon and back would not be able to do it. Leonard’s story is a typical example of how one’s background need not necessarily determine their present and future. With a few more like-minded young people in Southern Africa contributing similarly or more towards the development agenda, surely the Millennium Development Goals would become a reality for the region.
