He is a credible young people, with diplomatic approach, enthusiasm and possesses the required skills and charms, which can help him to engage as a valuable representative of his community, region, nation and the global team of youth. His hard work, dedication and sincerity ensure the success of the programme is involved.
To end, Joel is also a strong believer on the power that youth can have in their communities, by becoming engaged, organized and motivated. He learned to strive very hard each day to balance his activism life with his academic life and to understand that life is a constant journey, never a destination. Now, He lives his life to the fullest each day with honor, passion and adventure.
