“My favorite lecture was definitely Wang Xing Zui’s “China Poverty Reduction & Rural Revitalization”. During the speech, I was able to analyze the different perspectives on poverty and see how vast China is. Moreover, I also associated the problem of poverty with the reality of the community where I live in Brazil.”

I was selected as a Youth Ambassador 2020 by the U.S. Embassy in Brazil, and I will represent Brazil and the state of São Paulo in the United States of America for January 2020. To get a sense of how competitive the program is, more than 17 thousand applicants competed for one of 50 vacancies. I am very proud of myself because I will help people through social entrepreneurship and talk about my country in a diplomatic mission, totally funded by the U.S. Department of State.
