 About Me |
11 year-old Gregory Smith lives in Keswick, Virginia and is a junior at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia majoring in mathematics with minors in French and history. He is president of the RMC chapter of MAA (Mathematics Association of America), and a member of Pi Mu Epsilon (National Math Honor Fraternity), and Chi Beta Phi (National Science Honor Fraternity). Greg is the youth spokesperson for the World Centers of Compassion for Children, Youth Ambassador for Christian Children's Fund and the founder of International Youth Advocates and travels internationally, speaking to organizations about the needs of the World's Children. Through his many appearances, Greg appeals to governmental leaders to value their children as their country's greatest resource, and to guarantee that the children and their families will be moved to safe locations out of conflict zones prior to any military deployment. He teaches about ending the cycle of violence and has pledged his life to the pursuit of peace. He has appealed to businessmen to consider the plight of children in the design, manufacture and distribution of their products. He has met with world leaders such as former President Bill Clinton and former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev and Nobel Peace Laureates: Ireland's Betty Williams, South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu, East Timor's Jose Ramos-Horta, to describe his educational and peace plan. He has appeared before the Security Council of the U.N., State of Florida General Assembly and State of the World Forum to build a network of individuals and organizations willing to support his cause. The national and international print and broadcast media have told Greg's story and continue to help him spread his message of HOPE for a brighter more peaceful tomorrow.
