00:06This has been an amazing evening.
00:20I'm Sophia from London, we really miss you here, it's such a pleasure to meet you.
00:24I am the founder of an organisation called the 93% Club, and I'm working to make sure
00:29the outcomes for state educated people in the country are just as good as they are for
00:33privately educated people.
00:34It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:38I'm sorry I told you that, I wish I could be there with you guys.
00:43Sorry, carry on.
00:43Hi Terry, I'm a huge fan of your mom and yourself.
00:48My name is Kiara Zang, I'm from Indonesia.
00:51What we do is we build libraries for undocumented migrant children
00:55in Southeast Asia's biggest landfill site.
01:01Do we span most of the world?
01:03I think so.
01:04Yeah, literally, every continent.
01:07Every continent.
01:08Every continent.
01:09It's amazing the work that you guys are doing.
01:11So, listen, tell me, why do you do what you do?
01:15One at a time, anyone can go first, why do you do what you do?
01:19So, for me, the inspiration behind my work is because I got tired of seeing the problem.
01:25I got tired of complaining about the problem.
01:28My project is very personal.
01:30I was attacked on my campus and the experience through it was very terrible.
01:34So, we know that the world we live in is quite, it's flawed, it's not perfect.
01:39But if all of us is looking away, expecting the government to fix this thing, it's not going to happen.
01:44So, as a person, I saw my experiences as an opportunity to do something better and to inspire others to
01:50also do something better.
01:51So, that was my reason.
01:53So much, so much of the future depends on you guys.
01:57Right?
01:57And you know that.
01:58And some of you may feel as though the work that you're doing is small.
02:01Some maybe feel as though it's big.
02:03Wherever it goes, whatever it does, you, the impact again that you are having on hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands,
02:09millions of people.
02:10Like, without you guys doing that, and without you inspiring other young people to do the same thing because it
02:16feels good.
02:17Because it's the right thing to do, but you also, you get so much from it.
02:21That inspiration is like this ripple effect that goes across the water.
02:26And you don't need me to tell you that.
02:28But I want to tell you that.
02:30Because every single day that you're working on these things, you don't even know the impact that it's making.
02:36And that's happening.
02:36Yes, it is.
