The grounds of the United Nations were abuzz earlier this month when the kids of New York City joined with their peers from around the world at the 10th annual International Youth Day. The event was organized by Directions for Our Youth , a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for kids & teens in impoverished communities to interact with cultures from around the world. Young people from the South Bronx were invited to participate in this year's Intl. Youth Day where they shared their talents & exchanged cultural lessons with the youth of South Africa, South America, and South Asia. A live, interactive element was also part of this year's program. Kids were able to communicate, live, via satellite with their peers in Ghana. This year's event centered on climate change and the growing number of unemployed youth.
