The young leaders of today are the strength and future of the country, says First Lady Fazna Ahmed.

She said this in her remarks at the virtual opening of the 2nd Global Youth Mobilization (GYM) and the Big Six Movement on Wednesday.

As such, she urged the society to pay attention to the growth and development of girl guides and young leaders.

Highlighting the reach and investment in young people globally since its start in December 2020, the GYM virtual events celebrate two years of youth-led global action and the launch of its final impact report.

The main virtual event will showcase the impact of youth-led solutions, reflect on the Big Six and wider partnership model, and see discussions focusing around lessons learned to inform global youth financing models.

In her address, FL Fazna stated that the selfless acts of young leaders as Covid-19 frontline responders, as well as their efforts to ensure the inclusion and happiness of people with special needs, show that they have grown to be better individuals and change-makers.

FL Fazna congratulated the organizers for a successful second edition of the Global Youth Mobilization and the Big Six Movement.

She also highlighted that these moments are the best reflections of overpowering difficulties and problems to build the future leaders of the island nation.

Expressing joy over the attendance of three young leaders from the Maldives Girl Guides at the event, FL Fazna noted that two young leaders from the Maldives Girl Guides had attended the youth event in Pune, India.

FL Fazna highlighted that they are actively delivering their best to our community and expressed appreciation for the support and commitment of the administration towards the development and inclusion of youth at all levels.

The first lady reaffirmed her commitment as the chief guide to supporting the girl guides and youth in their quest for a better future.
