Greetings! I think it is wonderful that you had this celebration of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is particularly interesting to me that Somalia is one of the two countries that hasn't ratified the treaty and you are from Somalia. I think that you are doing remarkable work in trying to help change the thinking within your country. Can you tell us more about your work? Peace and blessings to you.
