Brief of my fourth week YALI Washington Fellowship Program





Weekly Topic: Collaboration - Public / Private Partnership.
I will begin by citing one of our latest activities of the week “our visit to Oracle” we were welcomed in one of the meeting rooms for presentations following: www.oracle.com
Driving Business in a Globalized World; Importance of a compliance culture, Corporate Citizenship (key Themes: Education, Environment); Sustainability and climate change and had a Panel Discussion on Talent Development, Diversity and Women in Leadership.
I remember that "Right people, Right place doing the work Right" and "As a leader, you-have to make others successful"
The half day presentations gave me the opportunity within short time to learn from these great leaders who back the pride of this second CLASSIFIED Company after Microsoft.
We watched a video on WECYCLERS about the company of a young Nigerian, is a must watch video clip that will inspire you at http://wecyclers.com/
In the afternoon, the Staff of Oracle took us to volunteering activity with Nature Bridge, an Oracle grantee, together with Oracle employed to clean the headland of marine non-native plants / weeds that risk over-running the local flora. We were all dressed in the colors of Oracle. Nature Bridge thanked us and awarded a certificate of appreciation and a cup has the effigy of Nature Bridge to each of us. What a nice day… https://www.naturebridge.org/

Our second visit, which is cultural, was dedicated to the community of Oakland Museum www.museumca.org this museum traces the history of California and its people. We have an overview of the Museum and a presentation on "Cultural Preservation and the Relevance of Museums" in the meeting room. We visit all the galleries of the Museum before returning to Berkeley, the experiences gained had thrilled us with a desire to strengthen or having Museums in Africa that talk about the history of our community as well.
Our third visit is also dedicated to a museum, this time, it is more specific: "California Academy of Science Museum in San Francisco." The only site on the planet Where you can explore aquaruim, planetaruim, and natural history museum under one living roof.
