Feby Lunag, Philpines

Field of Study: Bachelor of Science Major in Social Work
Profession: Registered Social Worker
For 7 years, I have been serving as a community development worker advocating women, youth and Indigenous Peoples empowerment. I am also an advocate of sustainable development and climate change.

I am looking forward to a more sustainable world giving the opportunity for the next generations to live a better standard of living. As a member of an Indigenous Community in the Philippines, I always believed that land is life and that we are only stewards of the Earth. Hence, it is the responsibility of every human to nurture and protect Mother Earth. I love travelling and meeting new friends from different countries and cultures.I am a very passionate woman who loves family, work and adventure.

Moving forward, being part of YJAW is one of the biggest things that happened to me this year as I join a strong team of youth writers and bloggers from around the world.
