The topic of her session is 'Leaving no one behind in achieving SDG 4'. Students, teachers, parents and youth are invited to interact with Wanjuhi live on December 6 from 7 pm onwards.

“The Global Talks team offers the youth of today this opportunity of a lifetime to interact and participate in this event where some of the world’s most influential people, who are successful in their various fields, are interviewed by the shapers of the Panjim Hub,” said Ninoschka Pinto, Impact Officer at Global Shapers Panjim Hub.

According to Mrinmayee Thakur, ex-curator of the Global Shapers, Panjim Hub, Wanjuhi Njoroge has worked intensely in the field of education in rural Africa.
