  • VOA News - Advocacy Program Trains Pro-Democracy Activists from Middle ...: May Kosba is a senior program specialist at the Youth and Development Institute, a non-government al organization in Egypt that works with that country's young activists. Now she's getting some training herself at Youth Service America, an organization in Washington, D.C. that's similar to the Egyptian institute. Kosba says it's important to focus on young people and give young Egyptians hope for a better future. "There is a lot of youth who are unemployed, who need to see a better future, and I believe as an Egyptian who strives for a better life that we deserve a lot better," she says. "So whatever I learned in this training, now I have a clear idea of what I need to do, in how to approach the youth, how to speak with them and how to be more accepting of their diversity. We have advocacy training on how to speak to people, how to analyze the problems and the needs and put them together and see how to get the message across."

  • Harness energy of young people to serve others: I applaud first lady Michelle Obama for her innovative and inspiring words in her essay "Nation needs youthful idealism more than ever" (Sharing in the USA special report, April 14). Too often, when we speak about improving communities and changing the world, we forget about the millions of youth who are already involved in leading the way. This weekend, Global Youth Service Day will recognize young people, ages 5-25, who contribute to their communities every day. Youth in all 50 states and in more than 100 countries will demonstrate solutions to serious challenges such as literacy, homelessness, environmental sustainability and health.
