Each one of us is capable to make a change in our country and in this world. SEAChange, South East Asia’s largest youth movement for personal change wants you to voice out your opinion on how can you make a change and do some difference in this world.

SEACHANGE is an ongoing movement connecting Southeast Asian Youths to projects, organizations, businesses, and leaders who can help them with the change they want to see!

In line with this, there will be a Youth Engagement Summit 2009 to be held at Kuala Lumpur Malaysia this coming November 16 to 17. 500 participants from all over South East Asia will be given a chance to win a free trip with hotel accommodation to participate in this summit.

Aside from meeting different youths all over South East Asia who share your goals, participants will be given the chance to ask leaders any question they have in mind with regards to making a difference.

Some of these business leaders include:

Biz Stone - Co-founder of Twitter
Randi Zuckerberg - Director of Market Development at Facebook
Garry Kasparov - Russian Living Legend of Chess
Dr. Mamphela Ramphele- Former Managing Director of World Bank
Nando Parrado - The Ultimate Survivor and Inspirational Speaker
and many more…

How To Join?

Simply answer the survey they have on what are the things you need for a personal change in your life and how can you contribute as a citizen to make a change in this world.

Get support from leaders and organizations

They have partner organizations ready to develop programs to help you with your personal change needs. The more youths voice out on what they need, the more programs, opportunities, and activities they can bring in!

How can I make a change?

As a participant, one of the things that I pledge to make a change in this world is to lessen poverty. Poverty, especially in Third World countries like here in the Philippines, is very rampant. One of the things that I pledge to do in order to fight poverty is through education - financial literacy - which is the main topic of this blog.

I believe that proper education, mindset and discipline is the key to lessen poverty. We must develop a lot of entrepreneurs to provide job opportunities for our people. This, in effect, will lessen the crime rate in our country. By giving them financial education on how to save money, grow their money through investments, and motivate them to achieve their goals, I pledge to make a difference in this country.
