Impact of DGL: I see the impact that DGL has had on my personal and professional life daily. Personally; some of the most instrumental relationships I still have were birthed during mY DGL student tenure. The Younglife community which was forged during those years still remains to this day which I am grateful for. It. Being a part of the DGL program also honed my organisational skills which turned out to be critical even in my professional life. Competencies like meeting deadlines, budgeting, planning and scheduling SMART goals, time management, emotional intelligence, and networking, are all things I learned when I was in the program. The DGL program proves to be a good preparatory field for students so that they may be better prepared for the pressures that come with the outside world.

Suggestions: I would say that greater correspondence among donors and other DGL students from around the world would be a good addition to the program. While this has to be done within a well-regulated framework, I believe it would be beneficial for students and donors to share experiences and bounce off ideas from each other on how to be most effective in the program. Students could share challenges and how they overcame those challenges. It would also forge a sense of sub-regional/continental/international community and a cohort of DGL students with the same experiences and aspirations. Ideally, I would suggest that DGL cell groups are formed which meet every month or so to read scripture, pray and share stories of what is happening in their area. All within the confines of relevant oversight.

Future involvement: Be a professional mentor for a student Be a prayer partner Participate in trainings
