Ayush Chopra is the SDGs for Children (https://www.sdgsforchildren.org/) and a student at Ahlcon International School. He says "I looked at the world as a place where every flower had the opportunity of blooming and every plant had the right to grow,” and his focus is on basic human rights through freedom of education, speech and equal opportunity. Ayush references notable citizens of the world such as Ellie Wiesel, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, and you can see that each of these leaders have a common trait that radiates through Ayush - genuine compassion for other human beings. Ayush also shares his story of being bullied and how that helped him envision a better school environment for others. His message is sincere, and his future is as bright as his contagious smile. Ayush says, "I truly believe that success is not winning alone." If more of us adults could think like him, this world would truly be a safer, more habitable and happier place to live.
