Diew Malou is another member of the South Sudanese diaspora who lives in Denver, CO – he, like us, was in Sioux Falls to attend the South Sudan ACE Awards. Diew works at the African Leadership Group (ALG), a resource organization dedicated to helping refugees in the Denver area by identifying, developing, and connecting the next generation of African leaders. Their vision is to transform Africa by developing and connecting a new generation of ethical, entrepreneurial leaders.
One of the largest and most attended programs of the ALG is their Public Speaking and Leadership course. It’s a 16-week program that helps to empower people personally and professionally. And most recently, ALG has been in need of books to use in the course. Diew asked us for three specific public speaking and leadership books:
– Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
– Start with Why by Simon Sinek
– The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Jack Canfield
So, on Day 313, ARC ordered 10 copies of each book and made sure we had them in time for when we met Diew in Sioux Falls.
Diew was SO happy to receive the books! We looked through each title together and Diew described to us how they will use them. In fact, they have already started reading them in the Public Speaking and Leadership course!
