Happy May, Change-makers!
The trees are budding, flowers in bloom and it’s starting to get toasty outside! May is officially here and summer is just around the corner. Woohoo!
So, what else does this mean? School is almost over for the year. There are less than two months left of English class, math problems and science studies. There are also less than two months left to take social action in your school.
We know that you’re all probably really focused on your studies right now—getting ready for exams and end-of-year projects. But don’t forget to keep your mind open to the issues happening outside of the classroom.
Currently, 40 wars are going on around the world and, depending on your definition of the word, between three and ten genocides happening right under our noses. Read on for some more information on the state of our world and what you can do now and throughout the summer to get the tools you need to make a lasting change.
Keep on keeping on,
The Youth Team
