Arif said “Every day I wake up in search of courage and authentic expression. And on this journey, I’ve been met with opportunities to create impact in ways I’d never imagined. In March 2018, the UN SDG Action Campaign assigned me a communications support role at #SDGAction Festival. It was a great and wonderful opportunity for me to become a changemaker. The volunteering experience at the Global Action Festival of SDGs was fantastic; it helped me broaden my horizons with regard to different people, groups, and circumstances, build mutual respect, understanding, trust, and solidarity.”
