DFiD Youth Reporters

So I've been mentoring a group of nine super smart young people on behalf of DFID (that's the Department for International Development which deals with developing countries and aid), who are keen to involve and engage young people in the white paper on 'Eliminating World Poverty' and most importantly the London Summit on Apr 2nd. when the G20 (that's the richest 20 countries in the world who incidentally account for 75% of the world's wealth) gather to map out how the developing and developed world can work together. Of course it's also the first time Mr President Obama will be in the UK. And is quite likely to see protests on the streets of London.

Anyways here's what the reporters have been upto.








Ed Milliband isa future prime minister. Every single woman whether civil servants, NGO heads, press officers or our youth reporters, quite literally swoon when he's within a ten metre range. I met him about six years ago in Newcastle, South Shields to be precise (his constituency), and he is a very impressive individual.
