We are pleased to announce the birth of a new ASFL group at the Oyo State College of Agriculture, Igboora, Oyo State, Nigeria, and the official inauguration is billed to hold 18th of November.
The ASFL group at Maseno University in Kenya held a Student disorientation event for fresh students on campus, they were able to sign up a total of 116 new members to the group. The huge increase in the number of members in the group has rejuvenated it and they look forward to hosting another event within this semester. Special props to LC trainee Stacey Nduta for organizing this disorientation event.
Africa Liberty Students Organization SEKU Chapter in collaboration with ASFL Kenya held a seminar on economic and individual liberty, the first of its kind at the main campus in Kitui Kenya. The event was hosted by Julius Onduru Ouma, currently an ASFL LC trainee. Over 100 students attended the one day training. Onduru introduced ASFL and the importance of free markets and individual liberty, while Linda Kavuka, the current chair of the Exec Board at ASFL gave a presentation on libertarian leadership and self reliance. Considering that most of the attendees were new to the ideas of liberty, she talked about the basics, what liberty means, who libertarians are and what they do and the importance of promoting a tolerant and liberal society. She then explained the meaning of liberty in society, in politics and in the economy markets.
Each participant was issued a CD on the Ideas for A Free Society courtesy of Atlas Network and the Network for a Free Society and a copy of the book – Morality of Capitalism courtesy of Atlas Network and SFL. The participants left the event with knowledge of the basic principles on the ideas of liberty and a free society. The participants were urged to become members of the cheetah generation made up of young Africans who are bringing positive change to their societies by leading the way to a freer Africa.
With these exciting events happening all over Africa, we are excited that the ASFL Local Coordinator training is in its last week, with over 100 students taking part in the training, we look forward to accepting the highest number of Local Coordinators in a single class. Congratulations to everyone who finished the training, we look forward to a year of freedom.
