Youth Digital Diarist Selected

UNICEF selected new youth digital diarist for its radio series Voices of Youth Digital Diary.  Sajal Pradham was selected from among 25 finalists who answered the call for action from Media Magic Digest Issue Radio: The Right Frequency.

Name: Sajal Pradhan

Age: 16

Country: Kathmandu, Nepal

"I want to be a digital diarist for UNICEF because I feel that Nepal is greatly misunderstood by most of the world as a hell-on-earth war country. Also, growing up in an underdeveloped nation but belonging to a high social class contrasting to most others in the country, I feel more aware and experienced compared to youths my age all over the world. I feel I have been able to neutrally judge stories of people completely opposite to each other due to such position in society and that many would like to hear my views as enthusiastically as I would to give them."
