Happy International Youth Day!

 After a half year of silence in blogging, I decided and take my laptop to new chapter, if not new wave, of blogging.

Today, August 12 is a significant day. Today is World Youth Day. It is significant to me because many of  youth issues  (as I am still a youth) are very close to me.

To name a few:

a. I started to volunteer for children's welfare at the age of 10;
b. My first community work was with adolescents at the age of 13;
c. My first volunteer work in peace work was at the age of 17.

I am a youth. I am strong. I am responsible.

And opps... I added the logo of my new organization and the link (if you click). I have been a youth advocate on adolescenthood, family planning and HIV/AIDS from 1996-2000 (and was still volunteering until 2004) and work for STI/HIV/AIDS in 2004-2006.
