Child of Hope has benefitted hugely over the last few years from volunteers who have spent time with us in Uganda on leadership development opportunities, many of whom have come through a wonderful organisation called Emerging World.
These individuals have had a huge impact on our programmes and methods of operation in Uganda, and we are a more professional body as a result.
Emerging World has conducted research into the effects of its International Service Learning programmes around the world. Over the last ten years it has worked with companies such as Microsoft, Credit Suisse, IBM & EY on these kinds of programmes, in which participants develop the leadership capabilities required to succeed in an uncertain, fast changing and globally-integrated world buy applying their business skills to support organisations tackling social issues in the emerging world. Participants have developed so much from the opportunity that 98% of them have recommended it a someone else, and the majority say it made positive changes to the way they work.
If you’re interested, you can find the research findings here…. www.emergingworld.com/documents/236.pdf
Thanks Emerging World, you and your participants have helped us enormously!
