Harambe Bretton Woods Declaration

The Harambe Bretton Woods declaration from Harambe Endeavour states:

While Africa has not established the conditions necessary to convert the knowledge and technology-intensive ideas into successful local and international ventures to improve the lives of its inhabitants, there exists a large number of skilled, creative and innovative minds on the continent – a talent pool of young adults, conscious of the painful lessons learned by preceding generations; aware of the toils and sacrifices of the few; cognizant of the daunting challenges that face a continent; yet eager, to take their turn at Africa’s helm; determined to maximize the opportunities of their time; yearning for a peaceful and prosperous Africa.
We, therefore, sons and daughters of Africa, assembled in Harambe Endeavor, with the assistance of those who have come before us and those who share our vision, publish and declare our intention to work together as one to unleash the potential of Africa’s people, pursue the social, political and economic development of our continent and fulfill the dream of our generation.
We believe in the unlimited power of ideas and the immediate need for action; we value the untapped potential of Sub-Saharan Africa and we sustain that our continent's greatest resource is its people. Our mission is to empower a people, to inspire a nation and forge the destiny of a continent.
Like Ayn Rand, we refuse to lose our knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. We will not let our fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at- all. We will not let the hero in our soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life our continent deserves, but has never been able to reach. We will check our road and the nature of our battle, yet in the end, the Africa our generation desires can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is ours.
Sons and Daughters of Africa
