This story written by Christina-Angelina Kassongo exudes her passion for tackling today’s pressing environmental issues not only by her determination to raise awareness about important issues but by her willingness as a young person to take the time to share this story. She helps make the voice of her generation heard. The Voices of Future Generations Children’s Initiative is a seed of hope, creating an outlet for children concerned about the enormity of the world’s problems and helping them find their own voice and seek solutions.

Kassongo promotes environmental education to address one of the significant modern challenges of Congolese cities – dealing with disposable plastic and improving the management of waste that litters the streets of Kinshasa. This young author offers society the hope that we can tackle this problem by changing our perspective and looking for solutions.
