Harmony Liu,
Secretary-General of the World Harmony Foundation Youth
Council,
made history today as an invited youth presenter at
the
World Women's Water Summit in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.
Mr. Richard
Jordan, who has worked with
H.R.H. Princess Dr. Nisreen El-Hashemite (Iraq)
for the past decade, was asked to recommend a youth presenter who
could speak articulately and with heartfelt concern, for
the issue of protecting Mother Earth's supply of fresh
drinking water.
Being very
familiar with Harmony Liu's speaking and
interviewing abilities, as well as her creative writing
that she hopes to craft during a summertime program
online from Yale University, the Dean of UN
Non-governmental representatives at the UN had no
hesitation in nominating Harmony Liu as the sole
youth presenter from the
US at this important Summit.
The Summit has
been co-organized by
Tajikistan, UN Women, the Royal Academy of Science
Intl. Trust,
and the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
Princess Dr.
Nisreen
is
the Founder President of the Women in Science
International League
and also is the
Executive Director of the Royal Academy of
Science International Trust.
Dr. Nisreen
is devoted to promoting the role of women and girls in
science, and along with Minister Helena Dalli of
Malta,
were responsible with founding the
Intl. Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Besides
high-level speakers who are scientists,
there are government officials and others who will deliver messages
on the need to preserve and conserve freshwater
globally.
UN Water is the
umbrella for the UN system on the issue of freshwater,
and experts such as
His Majesty, King Willem of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands
and
H.E. Mr. Danilo Turk, current President of the Club
of Madrid
and former President of Slovenia, have
been important voices in this issue.
It is hoped that
the Outcome Document prepared from
the World Women's Water Forum
will contain elements of Harmony Liu's video
message.
Harmony Liu
would be honored to continue her collaboration with the
Royal Academy of Science International Trust
and with Princess Dr. Nisreen
in being a catalyst for protecting Mother Earth and for protecting
humanity's need for freshwater resources to be available
for all people.
