On Wednesday 17 December, Mayor of Freetown, Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr OBE, joined young people from across Africa at the Dream Model United Nations Conference 2025, hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Freetown.
The conference brought together forward-thinking youth, actively engaged in diplomacy, leadership, and global problem-solving, whose energy and commitment to Africa’s future were deeply inspiring.
In her remarks, Mayor Aki-Sawyerr shared reflections with participants as future diplomats, emphasising that success is built on preparation and hard work.
She underscored the importance of integrity as non-negotiable, calling for zero tolerance for corruption, cheating, and dishonesty and highlighted perseverance as essential, noting that resilience often distinguishes ambition from achievement.
