So incredibly proud of Layla! Not only did they make it onto the reference panel, but they’ve also been elected as one of just 16 young people onto the Foróige National Council! 🏆 Seeing your hard work and passion for helping others recognised at a national level is amazing. We can’t wait to see the impact you make!
