Their compelling narratives on sustainability demonstrate the passion and intellect of our young advocates. As we celebrate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we commend these students for their dedication to promoting a just and sustainable future. Congratulations to Melvina, Demi, and all participants who continue to make a difference through their words and actions.
