Last week in Johannesburg, The Elders hosted "A Game Plan for a Winning Continent", meeting with 80 youth leaders from around Africa to brainstorm solutions for the continent's problems.
The students from all over Africa aged between 17 and 25 were positive, but also realistic about what needs to be done to tackle Africa’s problems. The Elders were extremely impressed by the students’ commitment to succeed, not only as individuals, but to use their skills to help many more people benefit from the continent’s rich resources and human talent.
