"For a community to thrive, it must nurture the leaders of tomorrow."

A necessary condition for a successful, prosperous and expanding community is the community's ability to nurture its future leaders. These leaders take ideas and turn them into reality by persuasively moving their community toward change and growth. 

What else does a leader do? 

1. A leader understands his/her community's problems and finds ways to resolve them.
   
2. A leader knows how to describe an idea and impress people of its importance.
   
3. A leader is also an organizer.
   
4. A leader encourages collaboration between people.
   
5. A leader is a good coach and mentor.
   
6. A leader with his good deeds is a role model for others.
   
7. In short, a leader thinks "good thoughts", speaks "good words" and does "good deeds".

In order for our community to be successful we need to foster good leaders for our future. One way is to encourage and promote young people who demonstrate leadership and present them to other yound people as role models. The goal of the Ahura scholarship is to encourage and promote young leaders.
