In 2014, #UNV programme’s groundbreaking Arab Youth Volunteering for a Better Future project called for young people from Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia and Yemen to share the story of how they, as volunteers, brought transformational change to their communities. Of these, three outstanding young #volunteers per country were identified by a national selection committee and awarded during International Youth Day (#IYD) 2014. A second phase followed, where a regional panel of judges narrowed the selection down further, identifying those volunteers whose initiative, innovation, and tireless energy have brought profound and lasting positive change to the lives of others. UNV and MBC Hope, the corporate social responsibility arm of Middle-East broadcasting giant MBC Group, celebrated these exceptional young people in Dubai, where Ahmad Alhendawi, the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth, presented them with a special award. These are their stories. https://youtube/watch?v=kuawziGXbyo&feature=youtu.be
