On Green Day, ActionAid Thailand and ten other organizations rallied alongside Bangkok’s youth on the environment, engaging a new generation of change makers.

During the May 31st, event, members of ActionAid’s Action-4-Change project advocated on behalf of those who are growing poorer and hungrier as a result of climate change. In so doing, youth discussed startling global hunger statistics, and invited young spectators to help them by writing personal messages against hunger empty plates.

The Green Day activities were held as part of ActionAid’s international HungerFREE campaign, which is taking place in over 40 countries to fight for change alongside and on behalf of the 854 million people who remain hungry worldwide.

“Here, youth are becoming agents of change.  By learning the importance of tackling climate change and hunger, they can become unstoppable.” Said Angkana Nugsumruaj, ActionAid Thailand Youth Officer.

Said, Trin Khumsap, ActionAid Thailand Youth Consultant, “Being an adult carries with it the responsibility of improving our world and society.  In grooming today’s youth as change makers, our next generation is becoming productively involved in taking on the responsibilities that not only will improve our planet, but will improve the lives of the young activists themselves.”
