On September 30th, the renowned US

Rooftop of 1717 Penn Ave office building in Washington.
World Harmony Delegations were invited to join his
fundraising party.
Harmony Liu, a 15-year-old Chinese-American
high school student from New York and the Youth World
Harmony Ambassador, was presented by Congressman Suozzi
with the
White House Presidential Volunteer Gold Medal.

hours, especially since COVID-19; she has been more actively
involved in
WHF for the assistance of the epidemic-stricken areas like
Columbia, Mexico, Nepal, Ghana .
In mid-July, she initiated the
"Harmony Global Initiative"
to end Japan’s decision to dump nuclear wastewater into the
public ocean in two years. Her action is highly acclaimed
and appreciated by the community .
The international media has acclaimed Harmony
as a good example for contemporary young people to pay more
attention in the realms of environmental protection and
corporate social responsibility.
In recognition of the aforementioned ,
The White House Volunteers Office
awarded her the
White House Volunteer Gold Award,
which was presented by Congressman Tom Suozzi.
Later in the evening, the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi arrived at
this party immediately after signing an important
infrastructure bill. Though she could not stay long, Harmony
was able to have a short conversation with her and thank her
for what
she has done for the country.
The White House Volunteer Award is a national
award
specially established by the U.S. government to commend
individuals who have made outstanding contributions to
promoting world peace, social harmony, and humane friendship
and promoting a virtuous circle of social relations.
As mentioned in the award certificate, hope,
light and love are the ideal and value choices she has
persisted and explored on this road since
she was a child.
Harmony Liu has been living in a home dedicated to social
responsibility and paying equal attention to both Chinese
and Western cultures:
Her family has dedicated their lives to promoting world
peace,
and social and interpersonal harmony.
She grew up in a harmonious and peaceful environment.
In January 2020, when the COVID-19 , began to
spread
in Wuhan, China, she initiated the
WHF Youth Leadership Committee
of organizing over 40 classmates and friends to fight
the pandemic, and calling on the youths of both China and
the United States.
These youth were from diverse multicultural and ethnic backgrounds, from
universities, middle schools, and primary schools,
and all donated to WHO, UNICEF to assist the affected areas
.
In recognition of this, they received the support of the
former
102-year- old late senior Congressman Lester Wolff and
also Congressman Suozzi.
In March 2020, prior to the spread of the
COVID-19 globally, she summarized China’s experiences and
encouraged her classmates to call on schools to immediately
close classes, postponing classes and summer camps to avoid
the further spread of COVID-19.
Harmony also wrote open letters to
the US President,
the Speaker of the House,
Congressmen, the Governor of New York,
and the Mayor of New York.
She had attracted the attention of the government and
schools, persuading Long Island to close schools a week
earlier than city schools.
Her actions were highly commended by many senior officials, including
UN Secretary-General Guterres,
senior officials of the UN Health Organization,
and UN under Secretary-General Liu Zhenmin.
In recognition of these innovative
activities,
Harmony now serves in
the UNEP NGO World Harmony Foundation,
as youth Ambassador and Secretary-General of the Youth
Leadership Committee. She is also a youth reporter and video
editor
for the U.S. Congress Web TV station.
We hope that she can go further and further
on the road of social justice and equality for all,
continuing to make more contributions to the creation of a
more beautiful home on earth with
her abilities and expertise.
