Greetings Young Leaders !

Young SEA is a team of young hopeful changemakers from Philippines, Indonesia & Malaysia on a mission to create a better place for everyone to live in.

The project focuses on SDG 13 Climate Action specifically about tackling the environmental threat of untreated disposable mask waste caused by Covid-19. We have seen that the pandemic caused everyone to use disposable facemasks to protect ourselves but the action to limit its environmental impact has not yet been properly taken action upon, both in developed and developing countries.

With this in mind, we opted to organize a series of webinars about tackling this problem and also to empower young people about the many ways we can create a better world in this post-pandemic era.

We always stand by the quote, “If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way” by Napoleon Hill and we hope that through this slogan we will always be reminded of the simple ways we can do to achieve our goal— a place where no one is left behind.

Right now, we are participating in a #WatchOurImpact challenge by Youth Lead that you are part of and we would like people to discover our project and vote for us! Could you help us by voting for us?

Hi Lesheve,

Have you heard about YouthLead’s new #WatchOurImpact Campaign? I am an intern working with YouthLead this summer and I wanted to personally reach out to you about the contest because I think you would be a perfect candidate to submit an entry given your involvement in your community and passion for making the world a better place! 

The #WatchOurImpact Campaign, launched on June 7 in partnership with GenU and USAID, aims to showcase the power of youth to impact change in their communities. Entering the campaign entails submitting an original, three-minute video or slideshow in Arabic, English, French, or Spanish that tells the story of your actions to advance local, national, or global development. The story you tell can be personal, that of a group of young changemakers, or that of a youth-led organization. 

Entering is super easy — here’s how:

1. Create a three-minute video or slideshow that meets the contest requirements.

2. Upload your video or slideshow to YouTube.

3. Fill out the submission form. You must be a member of YouthLead.org to submit, but registration is free.

4. Encourage your friends and network to vote for your submission on social media by sharing the link once it’s posted on the #WatchOurImpact Contest Video Gallery page and by using #WatchOurImpact.

Here are some how-to videos and examples to get you started. What might you want to highlight? Have you helped promote mask wearing and social distancing in your community during the pandemic? Have you developed an after school program for young people? Have you started a small business? These are just a few examples to get you started, but there are countless others to choose from. What do you want to showcase from the important work you’ve been doing?

The work you’ve done in your community deserves to be highlighted. Please consider entering the #WatchOurImpact Campaign to show the world how you have made a difference! Submissions will be accepted until July 23.  If you have any questions or concerns about the Campaign or how to enter, do not hesitate to reach out. I would be more than happy to help!

Sincerely,

Miriam
