Amy Invites a Group of her Graduates to Support the Cause and Meet Nelson Mandela's Former Son-in-Law, The Prince of Swaziland
Another group of Amy's former students, graduates of the class of 2009 and freshmen at various colleges, joined in the efforts to support Mulongo's work in Kenya as well. They volunteered to help run a high-end ticketed fundraising event Amy co-organized at the French Cultural Center in Boston in May of 2011. The alumni met and mingled with socially conscious adults concerned with doing good in the world. They had the opportunity to meet the former son-in-law of Nelson Mandela (married to Mandela's daughter, Zenani Mandela) Prince Thumbumuzi Dlamini of Swaziland. Thumbumuzi attended Boston University and has long-time ties to Boston.
“We need to promote greater tolerance and understanding among the peoples of the world. Nothing can be more dangerous to our efforts to build peace and development than a world divided along religious, ethnic or cultural lines. In each nation, and among all nations, we must work to promote unity based on our shared humanity."
- Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations
