Sponsored youth, Ranjit Jana will be giving a speech at the United Nation's International Youth Day. Here is a little snippet:
Being part of the Youth Health Corps has afforded me many advantages – confidence and education and especially this trip and honor to represent Sahay at the United Nations. But only a few months back there was a disaster called cyclone ‘Aila’, which affected our village. My family’s farm was flooded and poisoned by the cyclone’s salt water. Children International extended maximum support to our community, and on behalf of my community members I would like to express my gratitude and thanks towards Children International. My sponsor has sent a special donation to seek other means to support ourselves in the meantime. I hope I am making my youth council proud! There is so much I have seen that I can’t believe. Thank you for the experience. It has already changed my life forever.
