Today we went to the DCI (Defence for Children International) office and met Julia Aloisio. She was fantastic and so helpful. We role played and it was so inspiring. I can't wait to get in there at the UN. We did visit the UN today but as it was our first time there, the best thing was to watch a discussion. The discussion was based on the right to food.
Watching the Reps discussing the problems, i was so "into it" that i felt i wanted to say something. It inspired me watching and listening to them. I hope i will have a chance to talk to the President of the Council. To have the opportunity of standing up for young people around the world and represent their stories to get justice, i know 'I'LL BE ON FIRE!!'

It is brilliant to hear that you were inspired to make your voice heard during your first visit to the UN.
ReplyDeleteAt such formal, diplomatic events, with everyone dressed so smartly and talking in generalised terms, a group of highly motivated young people lobbying for change, whilst recounting your own experiences will, I am sure, make a strong impression.
Maximum respect and good luck to all of you!
