Some of you already know about the young boy from Sudan that I met in Paris at the United Nations conference. His name is I Emmanuel, and he spoke at the UN conference about the value of education. He lives in a place where education is hard to come by and there are a great deal of challenges because of that.
I hope you will all learn and be inspired by Emmanuel as I have been.
He is very interested in getting to know the students in Los Angeles.
I asked him what message he has for the LA students and here's what he said:
"I would like to share with students in LA that education in our world now is the key to everything. Because the world is now like a small hut, closed and the key is education.
and the key is held by the the educated young people now. Shield because young people are right in every State...and Ideals live on in this new, young President of the USA. This evidence that young people strive for the development of education experience and awareness of others."
