Motivated to see this. Makes me want to get more involved in youth advocacy.
These are the things that remind us there’s a future for our youth. Keep shining!

Big up the whole delegation

Wah nice! Keep making your mark.
If only we had more programs like this to get more of us involved. Opportunities like this can change lives.
I love to see our young people in international spaces.
I hope they bring back ideas that can help push local change too.
