![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The world waited 20 years for this day and when 20th June finally dawned on Rio , heads of state and officials from over 150 countries had gathered under one roof in RioCentro to decide on the future of the 7 billion inhabitants of Mother Earth. What an honour , therefore , for a 12 year old girl , not only to be present in Rio, but also receive a special pass , based on my hard work , to attend the summit itself . There were several thousands , much more senior than me , who were in Rio but could not attend as they did not receive a pass . The magnitude of this event was of epic proportions. This summit , after a wait and preparation of 20 years , is the largest and greatest ever, and any other event after this , would naturally be a mere followup . This was the moment of a lifetime for me and I will report on the following three days , through pictures so that my TUNZA associates can also see it through my eyes and feel as if they were there themselves. |
