Aden, the next environmental icon for Kenya has become a Regional Tunza
Eco-Generation Ambassador for the youth and children worldwide and in Kenya. As
a young person, Aden’s life has been full of goodwill, passion and devotion to
Mother Nature. He will promote eco-generation to raise awareness of the
environmental issues among the children and youth around the world.
This is a networking platform run by The Samsung Engineering Company and the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) through the young people around the
world. It involves series of environmental activities that an ambassador is to
be engaged in and address different environmental issues both at local and
global levels.
He has been selected and luckily being amongst the 28 youth worldwide and the 2nd
among the two selected from Kenya who will be environmental ambassodors. To
him, It has not been an easy task but he is glad to have been selected. He
hopes to do a lot for his term as an Ambassodor.
To me, it means a lot to be an environmental ambassador; to be a role model for
the young people and inspire them towards a better future. My biggest dream is
to become a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Goodwill Ambassador and
even bring the Nobel Peace Prize to Northern Kenya.
Abdikadir says, “Everything is possible. All it needs is to have faith in
oneself and believe that is possible. As long as you believe in yourself, you
will be whoever you want to be and there is no one who is standing infront of
you from achieving it.
