We are educating the next generation of leaders, the next generation of decision makers, and we want to empower them with the knowledge and information so that they can make decisions that you know, that are inclusive, that acknowledge inequality that acknowledge the barriers that some people face. The world has a lot of problems that we need to face, climate change, poverty, inequality, social justice, and those issues are only going to become more prevalent as the population growth as we as we face climate change. And it's really important that we start to talk about them now, and we start to educate the next generation of decision makers so that they have the tools and the knowledge to, you know, to address these issues. Part of colonial legacy was some of the environmental damage and social damage that was done at the time, you know, of colonial presence, for example, there are mines that are still causing environmental damage, even though they've been dormant for decades in some parts of the world. And I think moving forward, we have to address those issues, and fix these problems for people because it's just not fair that some people have to live with this legacy that wasn't created by them, and, you know, and wasn't created for their benefit. So it will enable people from those countries to take on the decision making, they'll feel empowered, and hopefully they'll make the right decisions for their country.
