Her journey to Glocal Teen Hero,
She says, “the Glocal teen Hero organization is truly a great platform for youth to discuss ideas on how to help make the world a more developed and sustainable place. I was also happy to be able to connect with more inspiring youth in the last session and get to know one another better. If we use this valuable platform wisely, we can truly work together to make the world a better place for the current and future generations. Thank you so much for arranging such a wonderful gathering for the youth.”
