I was privileged to be part of the exciting S.C.R.E.A.M group to have organized the GYS 2011 and it was a total blast! I met inspirational and exciting people and learned how youth can change the world for the better. It was a youth summit to articulate ideas and create community action plans to address local problems linked to the global issues
