Victor Ochen, Ugandan, Executive Director of African Youth Initiative Network

Victor Ochen, Ugandan, Executive Director of African Youth Initiative Network, discussing the impact
of living and growing in war on the mind of a youth. Yet defying all the odds, he pursued his dreams.

Today he is working with the youth, contributing to his society, helping the people behind to transcend
the odds around them. He emphasizes the importance of "Trust" as a change agent. He advocates
the need to build trust as you do your work. "Do not marginalize the already marginalized".
Risking his life but understanding the challenges ahead and the need for someone to do the needful,
he has been the voice, breaking boundaries and helping the vulnerable. A Nobel Prize nominee,
change agent, a movement to reckon with, the accolades are endless…
What is your excuse?
*Would you work, if you are not paid but making an impact?
*Do you see yourself as a vessel for progress, change?
*Are you trustworthy enough to be trusted by another to help through vulnerability?
The discussion on the future of work for the young is on, join the discussion. #GYEO2017,
