Happy #InternationalYouthDay 🥳🥳! Young people and Amnesty go hand in hand! They are the future of the movement after all! Join us this #MembershipThursday as we celebrate our members and volunteers making a change! Who are you celebrating this #YouthDay ?
Have you met our Outreach Coordinator @EMongute ? She is the founder of the Amandla MEK Foundation an organization that helps empower women and young people to become leaders in advocacy, social welfare, and entrepreneurship. On top of all that, she’s a superstar #AmnestyMember🤩
Last but not least is our #AmnestyVolunteer Rachael Otieno, who was also part of our previous call center and instrumental in building the movement! She is also a communications associate for NAWIRI SISTERS, an initiative that works to fight period shame. #YouthDay
