Youth Venture

I'm a young person from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. I've always been a very ambitious young individual involved in a number of activities, including many Environmental ventures. At present i'm an Environmental Interpreter at the Wild Fowl Trust, Pointe-a-Pierre and I've been volunteering there since last year. I am also pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of the West Indies in Environmental and Natural Resource Management and Physics.

As well, I enjoy working with young children and aid in a number of ventures within my community, for example, teaching at Summer camps, Vacation Bible Schools and Sunday School at church. I also conduct environmental awareness sessions with children and young persons in neighbouring communities. Due to my interest in the development of young persons, and young people making a difference in their society and in this world, I am participating in the 4th World Youth Congress in Quebec this year, wherein I hope to be further empowered by the knowledge received there.

• I have an idea for a venture but no team
• To promote environmental awareness, such that the entire generation of young persons within the community will be thrilled about protecting their environment and their community.
