Andrew Young Presents … a documentary about Rwanda. Ambassador Young is a personal hero of mine as a missionary turned Civil Rights leader who became an Atlanta mayor and then Ambassador to the U.N. under President Carter. Danielle and I both attended the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University, and I have long been interested in his NGO, Good Works International (GWI).
Rwanda Rising is a film that Ambassador Young produced as part of his effort to communicate stories of growth and progress in Africa. GWI is a consulting organization that works with African national leaders and American businesses to encourage productive environments for foreign direct investment, which also promote positive development reforms in Africa.
We met Ambassador Young at honors night at Georgia State (Danielle's honors, not mine) and he was very gracious. Perhaps we will make his acquaintance again on his many trips to Rwanda.
