What Children Are Saying

“I strongly believe that everyone is capable of changing the world for the better. Through involving myself in the GNRC Youth group, I believe that my teammates and I will succeed in raising awareness, improving behavior, and combating old stereotypes of discrimination.
I encourage every young person to try and make a change in their society.

“As young people, we should shape our narratives and our way of thinking and be at the forefront of advocating for peace. We should not enter conflicts because of our differences in tribe, gender or religion. We should also encourage one another to engage in small initiatives or businesses that will enable us to be economically sustainable.”
