Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The US embassy has officially announced the names of the 10 young African leaders from Mauritius and Seychelles who were selected out of the 200-plus applicants for the 2022 Mandela Washington Fellowship Programme.<\/b><\/p>\n

The participants were announced during a ceremony last week.<\/p>\n

From Mauritius, the participants are Prisheela Mottee, Saminta Arjoon, Trisha Gukhool, Selvana Mootien, Ishwarsingh Seewoolall, Chamlesh Kissoondharry, Bhavish Ubheeram and Anjeelee Kaur Beegun. From Seychelles, the two participants for the 2022 Mandela Washington Fellowship programme are Yannick Vel and Anael Bodwell.<\/p>\n

The Mandela Washington Fellowship took place virtually last year because of the pandemic. The programme is now resuming in-person, and this year, the US State Department has added another component to the programme \u2013 the Alumni Enrichment Institutes (AEI), a follow-on opportunity for 2021 Mandela Washington Fellowship Alumni to travel to the United States to collaborate with US counterparts and each other and to continue building the professional and leadership skills they developed during their virtual 2021 Leadership Institutes. Three participants \u2013 Marie Annelise Pigeot, Karuna Veerapen Goinden and Marlon Esparon (Seychelles) \u2013 were chosen to participate in this new programme.<\/p>\n

The Mandela Washington Fellowship includes a six-week programme at a US college or university, where participants will have the opportunity to share their experience with and learn from US citizens and other Fellows. The programme allows participants to explore opportunities beyond their daily work in the fields of Business & Entrepreneurship, Public Management and Civic Engagement, and network with representatives from the US Government, NGOs, and businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpportunities are everywhere \u2012 and now is the time to grab them! The world today has numerous challenges. Young people like you have the energy, creativity, and idealism to confront these challenges and should be at the forefront to bring global change and innovation to society. The YALI generation, which includes the Mandela Washington Fellows, is rising to meet these challenges and their impact is proven as Fellows rise to leadership positions in business, government, and civil society. At the end of this trip, the Mandela Washington Fellows will return to Mauritius and Seychelles with the skills, network, and motivation to be active agents of change,\u201d acting deputy chief of mission Andrew Kelly said during his remarks at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

The Mandela Washington Fellowship is part of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), the US government’s signature effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders, which started in 2010.<\/p>\n
