A new custodial approach to the planet is urgently needed. Is it any wonder then, that many people, although justifiably proud of their own origin and identity, also see themselves simultaneously as citizens of one planet?

A fundamental reimagining of inter-generational Allyship is Key. I am facilitating the collective participation of young people in official, formal and informal avenues of policy design, implementation, monitoring, follow-up, and review at all levels. I am providing young people a platform for dialogue to create an evidence base for best practices through the assessment of existing knowledge, generating new knowledge, identification of emerging issues, and effective use and dissemination.

We need to realize that ITS 4 US VISION 2030

The best partnerships aren’t dependent on a mere common goal but on a shared path of equality, desire, and no small amount of passion.

Stay Sane

Love & Work.
