Daan Leker from the Netherlands and Warime Guti from Papua-New Guinea are already on their way to represent LWF Youth at the United Nations High-level meeting of the General Assembly on Youth.
They are having some tough days ahead of them. At the United Nations in New York, they are going to attend full days of meetings and will also participate in the many of the side events.
