My name is Victoria Gao, and I am a student from International School Seychelles.

12/11/2022 Kelly UNYAMy name is Kelly Mothe and I am 23 years old. I am a Bachelor of Law graduate and at the University of Seychelles. I am fluent in English, French and Creole. I have varied interests but I love reading novels because there is nothing better than unwinding with a good book. I am passionate about creativity, being able to create something extraordinary from nothing, seeing something nobody else can see and making it ten times better.

Therefore I feel that this SDG should be advocated for the future generations.
