I made friends with fellow scholarship recipients of the Global Young Social Entrepreneurs’ Competition, and I learned about their amazing social enterprises all over the world. I’m confident that the friendships we forged in Malaysia will translate into partnerships for positive social change. I also had the opportunity to visit several attractions including the Skybridge that connects the Petronas Twin Towers, the National Mosque, the Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL Tower), Chinatown, and the Night Market. It was an incredible trip that I will always remember. Thanks to the organizers and sponsors of the scholarship competition for making it all possible!

I flipped to the section called Resources: Web Watch and was happy to see a profile of the youthnetwork.org website! Youth Today reaches 16,000 readers nationwide. Check out page 33 of the October 2007 issue :-) (Note: The link leads to a large PDF file which may take a while to download.)
