Advocacy

To most children in Puntland, speaking directly to a leader is nothing but a dream. The norm is for them to be brought into a room, entertain the leaders and listen to endless speeches from one leader to another. However for Mahad Nur and his friends  this dream became a reality when they met with the Vice President of Puntland to present their key concerns, discuss their future and their role in the society.
