Become a Youth Ambassador in 2009

Amazing, awesome, life changing... that's life as a World Vision Youth Ambassador. The 2008 Youth Ambassadors visited India last December where they met Kajal and many other kids like her. They also got to see first-hand World Vision's work in action.

Now their job is to talk to schools and the media about their unforgettable experiences and inspire other young Australians to do something real about poverty.
