you enter the app you go in and then you choose the day and then from this drop-down menu you just pull it up and up and up and up and you go to the last option that's called that's the survey on the survey you're gonna be having the closing summit survey we want to have a your opinions we're gonna be having one vote per table so it's very important okay let me see if I can perfect okay thank you okay so you go to the section solutions to change your world we're gonna be having two votes and these votes I'm gonna explain further on but it's gonna be done per table so you have to go reach a consensus but the idea is to answer question one so you go and tap it in there don't vote yet that's gonna be later on and then you choose the question the first question and then you choose two of the options for your answer as a table as a group okay and then you do the same for the second question I'll be giving further instructions where the time when the time comes but we just wanted you to be familiar with what's gonna happen okay so that's that's clear now I would like to explain a little bit more of this next session it's gonna be a bit more dynamic we're coming to an end we want to hear everyone's opinions we want to have your votes in order to finish up the declaratory to that we're gonna be taken to the United Nations as one of the main takeaways from this summit and we're gonna be having four panelists here to be showing it to be sharing with us their their ideas on the questions that we're gonna be voting for okay so first of all I would like to I don't know if you've been observing this past days an amazing talented very creative person that has been working on with concepts and drawings and trying to simplify what we've been doing so I just want to present you and thank Jack the scribe for being here and making this conceptualization of the work we've been doing for the past three days so please let's give a big applause to Jack now I would like to show a video of some of the work he has been doing okay now I would like to invite keep Portilla to the stage key is gonna talk about the power of crowd sourcing and he's also helping us put together a visual of the conference to have in another another takeaway from this a summit that it's gonna be a visual product of what we've been working on so please let's give it up for key thank you very much Melissa hi my name is gay Kawamura co-founder of studio banana a creative platform I'm very excited to be here I'm actually not much older than most of you and I feel very identified with I think with all of you because you're probably having lots of dreams these days big ideas and you're wondering how do we make this a reality keyword dreams I also feel very identified with you guys because not well when I was 9 17 actually I met my partner Ali in a situation just like this and we are now best friends and business partners so keep your eyes open you never know when you might bump into the person that changes your life it might be here so keep your eyes open alright now we like dreaming a lot in studio banana you're probably also big dreamers that's great there's a problem with dreams two problems I would say first one is that dreaming is a kind of solitary exercise it happens in your brain and in order to make it a reality you need kind of public endorsement right to support from a lot of people crowds otherwise the dream just remains a dream a nice idea that you had overnight and it disappears the other problem and this is kind of a global problem is that if you want to dream you need to sleep can someone tell me here did you sleep last night more than 10 hours no one right yes well yeah the hackathon guys well as it happens a hundred years ago before the electrical bulb was invented humans used to sleep 10 hours per day now we sleep in Europe about 7 hours in the state about 6 hours in Japan's 5 hours on average that's crazy right so we don't have time to dream well as it happens studio banana we we have one of our offices in Madrid we know in Spain we know a thing or two about Spanish siesta so we came up with this idea but had to make compatible work and dreaming so work and sleeping so we invented this device called the ostrich pillow which helps you power nap I don't know if some of you may have come across this name before anyway the it was just a crazy invention that we had one day overnight streaming and we made it public and we started getting lots of people interested in getting one we were actually not making it we just made the prototype we heard we got in one month seven hundred thousand YouTube hits hundred and eighty thousand likes on Facebook and fifty thousand tweets talking about this silly invention and well it kind of got a bit out of control maybe Benoit you can black screen anyway I'll keep talking the whole thing happened in in a matter of 30 days we just launched the idea on our website and we were just overwhelmed yet with the amount of people that needed this power nap can we please start the video from the beginning and with audio and with audio please with pillow product it's called the ostrich pillow this is a new invention called the ostrich pillow you can mind it's called the ostrich pillow for the ostrich pillow the ostrich called the ostrich pillow called the ostrich pillow it's called the ostrich okay it's the ostrich pillow ostrich nap pillow solution so you put your head in here what you are learning time you you should have a better class you can show the receipt instead of a passport okay you might not believe me but we did that with one thousand dollar investment that's the money we had to run this campaign but the problem is that we didn't have money to actually produce the pillows and thousands of pillows that have been requested so what we said we're not gonna give up on such a dream so we thought how do we make this possible without well there's been such a great support from crowds around the world let's find it also in a crowded way so we launched the crowdfunding campaign again we gave us our cell we gave ourselves just four weeks that line it has to happen if it doesn't happen it's not a good idea it was like our second test and well it happened we got three hundred thousand dollars in 28 days it's not all our months are like that by the way so basically what I'm trying to tell you is a huge guys should have big dreams and you guys should try to test random through crowds and you guys should think that crowds out there will share probably if they are good dreams they'll share your dreams so dream big and crowded up now as regards what you're doing I think you're making policy in a new way in a crowdsourced way and it's really you're changing the paradigm in which in which global politics are made you're really gonna be leaders of the new generation and you have a big responsibility so you better get it right in the next two hours thank you very much okay thank you very much I tried the pillow yesterday and it's amazing okay now we're gonna invite and four young mentors to to the stage who will be helping us share their thoughts and collaborations a for for the next part of the session I would like to introduce Felix Gonzalez inter-american development man from that inter-american development man broadband a platform for progress a day nice a see jasheva advisor on communication and information from UNESCO John Andrea Solberg lead urban youth fund a UN habitat and Cheryl Miller founder of Zen Digital Europe thank you very much now please choose which a tablet your or which device you're gonna be using per table and raise your hand if you're okay and you have one per table please one tablet per table it's all we need and if your table has at least one just do a thumbs up okay okay thank you very much can I have a show of hands if you do not have a device in your table okay so everyone has at least one device on their table right yes see yes okay now can I have the app showing please okay so we're gonna go through okay so we're gonna go into the question please first of all just hit the refresh button so we make sure you all have the latest version of the app if someone of this table can share lend me one of the tablets so I can lend it to them okay okay I have it here okay okay great so we're gonna start with the first question all right we're gonna go back to the tablet we're gonna hit the eight up September button then we're gonna see the drop-down menu and we're gonna go all the way down we're gonna hit the survey button button okay so the first question is which of the themes of the summit should be the priority for youth beyond 2015 the maximum number of options you can choose per table are two so please hit it in and then you will have five different options discuss you have five minutes to discuss with your table and reach a consensus of from those five questions which are the two that you want to choose and submit okay so I'm gonna have the timer now you have five minutes as of now to discuss and come to a consensus and later on I'll ask three tables to share your views if any table needs help or has a question please raise your hand and we'll be visiting you to the table okay I just want to remind you that the idea that is one vote for table is to generate discussion right so we would like you to come to a consensus even if you are not very convinced try to reach up to a point that as a table you're making a consensus decision of two out of five options that should be the priorities for the ones that don't have a login your login could be a should be the number you have on your ID on the right a right down corner and it should be a the number in the username write the number at it you dot org and then the password should be that same number we have one more minute we will have three more minutes to discuss if the app is not working like the voting mechanism don't worry the important thing and the main objective of this part of the session is for you to discuss and come to a consensus okay so try to vote and if it it's not happening for technical difficulties don't worry just keep on discussing we'll have three more minutes you just have to answer the first question okay thank you very much now please we're gonna continue the discussions are very interesting we're gonna stop now please so we can continue with the session okay so now I would like to have a show of hands on which ones did you voted for as a whole so just raise your hands if you voted for that as a as a table all the members of your table so if you voted for the get-ahead entrepreneurship and as an innovation as a priority okay raise your hand oh we need to count keep keep keep it up please yeah raise your table number up high and keep it there so we can count the votes thank you okay great thank you very much please raise you can put the numbers down thank you now please raise up your hands and the table number if you voted for be healthy healthy lifestyles as one of the priority themes okay keep it keep it raised please okay thank you you can put it down now

respect your environment as a priority for beyond 2015 okay please put your numbers down and last but not least please raise your table numbers if you chose change your world as a priority okay please keep it up okay thank you very much now I would like to invite Felix Gonzales from the Inter-American Development Bank and Dana Ziyacheva afterwards advisor and communication and information from UNESCO to share with us a little bit of what we do in a very short intervention two three minutes and also what they think on this first question please hi guys how are you good yes in the meantime while we get my slides ready for those of you who don't know me yet Feliz Gonzales I work for the Inter-American Development Bank which is obviously a development bank focusing on Latin America and the Caribbean we are based in the US but we have operations all across Latin America and the Caribbean and today because we are talking about changing the world I'd like to speak about the new forum or a new way of exclusion that is digital exclusion so all of us here we have access to internet devices to ICTs but any people around the world and in Latin America specifically they don't have access so we are working on that so so I like to divide the room into sections one is going to be the OECD countries so powerful countries big countries in the world and the second half of the room is going to be countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and I want to I want to try to show you this difference on this divide through the numbers based on the position that you have in the room so for those of you for those of you who are in one of the OECD countries in average one out of three people have access to internet and to broadband broadband is high speed internet access whereas you guys if you are in Latin America only 20% of you have access to the internet so this is the first number that is at least showing this big difference if you are in the OECD countries the average speed of your connections 21 20 megabits per second super nice you can go on YouTube you can stream your videos you can download a lot of things if you are in Latin America and the Caribbean in average is three megabytes per second and then if we compare the connection taking into account only one megabit per second if you guys are in Latin in the OECD countries you are paying $7 if you guys are in Latin America you are paying $53 so there is something here that doesn't make sense and this is why we are working on it at the IDB I'm part of the broadband team so basically we are helping countries again in Latin America and the Caribbean expand broadband access and use it across all the countries and we are working around four pillars infrastructure so basically the cables the antennas all the things that we use capacity buildings are basically helping people use the technology and bringing access to the technology with devices the third one is public policies so helping governments and putting place and enforce the proper policies on the infrastructure side on the capacity building side and finally the last one is the strategic regulation also helping government so this is basically what I'm doing thank you very much and just very briefly to reply to the question so I agree with the rest of the panelists so I think the very first one entrepreneurs open innovation actually is the means for all of the rest so if we are entrepreneurs and we can innovate we can be safer we can be a smarter we can be greener I know usually we can change the world that is especially what you guys do not be entrepreneurs should keep in mind so what you have to do is to try to change the world even if it's only around you thank you very much thank you very much thank you Felix I would like to invite Dana to share some thoughts if you want from from the table is perfectly fine yes hi everybody my name is Dana my name is Dana Ziyasheva I work for UNESCO it's United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization if you are interested in knowing more about what we do you are welcome to visit our website it's UNESCO.org I would be brief and I would talk to you without without any notes prepared I would just talk straightforward to you not as not as a UNESCO official more as a person I consider myself self-made woman it's been 18 years I work with UNESCO I've been in UNESCO headquarters in Paris it was very nice then I worked in Iraq in Kurdistan it's on the border with Iran during the embargo I worked also in China which where we covered North Korea Japan countries very worlds apart yet neighbors and now I'm based here in in San Jose and we cover countries the whole Central America and in Mexico so what what what I learned during all this time with the International Organization is that you if you want to advance if you want to move you should have curiosity don't think that okay once I've got a nice office once I've got the job security once I've got access to the latest gadgets IT gadgets then it's fine I'm on top of the world that is not true I mean it would get you to certain level but it wouldn't get you far what you need to keep what I advise you to keep is to keep your curiosity be always curious about people around you you know it's I each time I go to a country for a prolonged period of time I fall in love with the country I'm interested in learning this the language the culture how people think how they function how the society is arranged because once you understand that you would you would feel part of this new environment where where where you found yourself and you would understand the needs of people and once you understand the needs of people then you can design you know you can establish a strategy and you can design a product that would be popular and that could could you know spread and actually start kind of bringing benefits it could become your new employment that is related to the topic how to get ahead innovation and entrepreneurship it's not only you know it's not only that okay I have the the access to I have the latest PC you know the latest model what before it was Apple now it is Samsung like I have it that's it no it's actually what it's modern technology is what you can make with your head you know what what ideas can you generate because ideas they move forward the ideas are at the core of entrepreneurship ideas new ideas are at the core of any any anything that could change the world so I'll give you for example I give you one example when I was working in Iraq I had to organize training for 500 secondary teachers in in three provinces and the training was how to how to develop interactive methods of teaching how to interact with with your students and they imagine it was on the embargo so all we had we had chairs tables and blackboards what do you do in this situation how do you explain teachers the the concept of interactivity how and that's where you need to use your hand and you need to use your brain what what what what I thought I just tried to appeal to their senses so for example when I was starting my training I said like close your eyes guys they close their eyes and I said now try to imagine for example a river and each of them was imagining you and then I would say okay now open your eyes tell me what did you imagine one person imagine hearing the river another one imagine swimming in the river so it's different some people like visualize it some people hear it some people you know feel it through like there they have sense of touch more develop so this is when we started and I said well this is how you can actually by appealing to different senses that's how you can develop interactivity so you don't basically need the computer screen if you have computer screen all the better but if you don't you have to be able to explain your concept without without you without using technology without any support that's what would be good because if I don't know probably all of you are coming from big capitals or capitals of their countries but if you go a little bit farther in majority of the world and now it's not only you know like we can really develop like divided developed world developing world in every part of the world you have some areas that are very much cut in edge and some areas that are simply backward in any country right now so basically if you go outside you would see that there are people who have no connectivity some in some places there is no you know drinking water etc so once you understand the situation once you're curious and exploring once you're not afraid to go far take a boat take a take a horse you know and you go very far and you understand how people live then you will be able to develop a product a product that would cut to their needs and that would people you know people would vote for it and people vote now nowadays everybody votes with was there with their pocket I mean of course I'm UNESCO that's not what we do but if we're talking about entrepreneurship even now even the the in the fattest villages people for example have mobile phones so like what do you do if you understand the situation then the next application that you might think would have huge success around the world is a mobile application for example what kind of mobile application it could be so that's my advice to you that I think that's my idea how we can combine both entrepreneurship and change in the world thank you thank you very much Dana now we have the results of the first question and what you all voted so I want to ask three tables to share a in a one-minute intervention a what was your discussion about and how you reached the votes that you that you submitted please can you show the computer input and can I have a microphone on that table that I can't see the number so they can start sharing their views 40 41 can you please stand up hello all right so I think you hear me can everyone hear me yes okay great so I guess first the one thing we could all agree on is change your world and I think at our table at least and our reasoning behind that is this I think nothing is possible for us until we have a place at the table until there's some kind of sustained structural mechanism by which we can get involved in the international policymaking process I think it is very important that we are able to do this because we bring very unique perspectives skill sets and knowledge bases to this so that was the change your world the next item that we selected was respect your environment and to be honest we came to this after some discussion it wasn't an automatic thing but after really talking about things what we decided was that nothing none of these other things creating jobs being healthy none of this is going to be possible until we begin to recognize that we need to do something about our current models of development our current models of society of living in society and that is important that we tackle all of the environmental issues that are challenging us today so that's sort of how we came to this conclusion thank you very much thank you another table good afternoon well we were we had a discussion and basically we got to two points we were a little bit anonymous but it was a hard discussion we got for first we'll get ahead can you hear me yeah can you please stand up please oh I'm sorry and someone get me some eyeglasses too okay okay again good afternoon well we were discussing and it was not easy to find out what will they debate the priority because all these topics are very important and that they are matter for all I think first of all we catch up on get ahead and that was anonymous it was very important for us to understand that we need to give those access information I mean we need to give you the access to empower their rights and also they to empower the active participation throughout the communities and schools and also through the country which we find out that if we had the the best tools or if we had the information or the right information on youth people they could get those tools or their those opportunity to you know how can I say that they can get the opportunities to grow to make their country grow to get better opportunities for healthcare for job for better education that's what we found out that get ahead was really important and also that when people could get ahead and we could share our ideas between youth maybe we could find out a specific phone points or focus points where we all agree that it's important to change to share to change in our world the second point that we discussed was the respect your or your environment point because I think that we were throughout this conference we have been talking about different topics but unfortunately I have not I have not heard enough about this topic and considering how important and critical is to think is the matter of developing a sustainable society and a sustainable world right now we can give the youth the tools to get ahead but they need to understand that they need to make grow their country and they need to make them make they need to do it in a sustainable in a sustainable way why because we need we cannot we cannot put over our growth in society putting the the graduation of the environment we need to do it in equally we do not have to select in a quarterly life or in a quarterly environment we need to have those those aspect growing each other together so we find out that respect your environment was one of the best important the most important topics that I think that we have not discussed very much but hopefully it's going to be taken in count thank you very much thank you a third table please number six I know they're ready there okay thanks Buenos Aires nosotros estuvimos hablando sobre las prioridades que consideramos deben estar seleccionamos get ahead and because we the first thing that we have to remember is that we can create a better world starting from our own villages and localities and places we have to start taking action not just to change policies but we are the ones that will benefit or in that case also because many of the policies affect us we are the ones that can generate change within our communities we have the space to see the differences in technological advances education's needs so we believe that if young people get the opportunity to develop their potential for creation innovating dreaming taking their opinions and as governments we would like to acknowledge what volunteers do everything that starts from the heart to start solving what the government should be considering as part of their agenda and their work so it's many organizations that start as nonprofit organizations to try and respond immediately to the needs to help welfare to help people that don't have a home to even add to international organizations and to support what the government is providing us as individuals so the more curious we are as we heard the more we take the risk of getting to know the experiences of our colleagues of everyone that's beside us anyone that we've run into in the on the street regardless of their social situation then we will understand their context better and that way we can understand for ourselves and keep on changing because I might be a great leader a world leader even but my values will determine the decisions I make in the future I think that we'll have the passion some have passion for technology for the environment for development but we all have passion we need to have spaces opened up so we have the opportunities or that we empower ourselves and we dream and believe that we can do it so we all believe in our table that together we can build a better world and each one of us has a great responsibility we were discussing amongst ourselves that it's a difficult task politics ideas and we will not we will never be we will always want something more but we can't just sit around and say this is so bad in war will always exist there will always be problems we will never know if we are going to be capable of changing or improving the world if we don't act that's why we're here thank you thank you all very much for your reflections and comments now I would like to welcome the colombian hub to connect with us and share their views on this question please very well thank you we would like to give them the welcome give them the welcome please cheers can you hear us as boys man we would like to let you know the case of young people that live in different communities in our country and through the different workshops that we have been doing it's important to remember that in terms of the response to the questions we are interested in a priority for us is innovation and entrepreneurship because this is what is going to support processes and we found the last question very interesting as well we wanted to participate also in the end because it's the response to change your world I think that young people always believe that a way to change the world is to invest in education invest in social innovation investing in communities in Colombia especially in our region we have a high rate of digital illiteracy so we are doing many surveys where it says that point five percent of young people are the ones that know how to use applications for mobiles and other devices and in the urban sector in the cities is that and in the rural areas there's a lot of lack of knowledge in what even is an application so it would be great to have even less the possibility of developing applications so it's bet it would be great to have that we have to create innovation for the community many times young people have many barriers of access to formal and non-formal education especially professional education so in these sectors there's a lot of ignorance in this matter so it's always good to raise awareness and to let the world know what we think so thank you very much there's a big problem we have a request made by young people's young people here regarding the word processor we should have options so that these programs and applications to be developed in natural in our own language mother languages that we can write up a letter or anything we want in our own language I'd like to share some of the conclusions but then with Twitter and everything we have been following up on that and we'll continue sharing the ideas we have over here that will also be reaching out to our communities and everyone that wants to participate we thank you very much for the opportunity of intervening thank you thank you these are very important ideas and personally I agree with everything you said in Latin America we have a big problem in that sense so go ahead and continue online for the rest of the afternoon thank you for joining us sure thank you bye bye okay now we're gonna move to a question number two so please connect to your devices again drop down menu go down survey and just a pass it to the second question that which is which actions should decision-makers prioritize to put youth at the center of the global agenda and you have a also five options and you have to choose maximum two options for this answer so now you can have time to discuss and come to a consensus as a table and later on we'll go around a with a voting okay remember that this the whole point of this is to discuss so if you are not having the same opinions as that your colleagues please try to convince them and generate some discussion so we can really share each other views and not only accept what one person of the table is saying okay we want to welcome the people that are coming from earth please take your seats and join the conversation you have three more minutes to reach the consensus of many a vote and so we can move on thank you we have one more minute okay thank you very much time is up please wrap up your discussions now so we can continue you very much we're gonna continue now now we're gonna do the show of hands first so please reach your consensus be silent so we can start a continue the session please okay so for the second question what which actions should decision makers prioritize to put youth at the center of the global agenda silence please thank you please raise your hands and your table number if you voted for allocate human and financial resources to advance the goals of the BYND 2015 statement and keep them raised please thank you very much you can put them down now please raise your table numbers if you chose to take note of the outcome of the BYND 2015 GYS and keep them raised are we good great okay you can put them down now please raise your table numbers if you chose to dedicate more time and national ministerial levels to consider the views of young people okay please put your hands down and now please a raise your no table numbers if you chose to create dedicated space spaces mechanisms with official status within ministries and national governments please keep them raised so we can count your vote thank you now you can put your numbers down and raise your table numbers if you chose to create formal links between national youth ministries and the office of the UN special envoy on youth to drive action on a global scale and please keep it raised thank you very much you can put the numbers down now I would like to invite John Andreas and Cheryl to share their views a little bit of what we do what they do and also their views on this second question please can I go first right I think well as usually we all came up to we came to a conclusion pretty quickly and our only comment is that these are all valid objectives and it just comes down to a bit of semantics creating dedicated spaces and mechanisms with official status within ministries and national governments is a really great objective but it's to do what exactly to represent whom and to support how so maybe it's just a question of articulating the goals a little bit better but that's the one that we are standing behind how that's connected with what I'm here to talk about today is not exactly a one-to-one relationship I actually like the first question a lot better and that's because we were deeply involved in building and deploying the get-ahead day at at this event and I consider that an honor and really a great success that it resonates so much with all of you so thank you for letting us be here as Zen Digital that's the name of my organization we are not a public sector company we are a small enterprise a social enterprise that has a mission of reaching communities around the world that are not getting digital skills that that don't necessarily have the personal skills the human touch and then the digital skills necessary to be innovative and to change your world so the first question resonated with me a little bit better if I can just articulate two other things that I think are really important is I really love this event because I'm humbled by the fact that I'm even on the stage I think it's much more important that we don't sit here and talk about what's important to youth but that you guys talk about what's important to youth that really bugs me actually so this event has been really amazing in the way that you have had a voice so Bravo we should definitely do more than that and then link it to mechanisms and spaces where you can actually make things happen with those objectives that you've created the other thing is that I really don't like talking about what we should do the workshops that we ran here we're about actually giving you skills that you can use when you leave this place so let's not sit and talk about what we all can do go out there find the problem actually you don't have to go far to find a problem it's it's all around us right whether it's sustainable growth whether it's health whether it's access to technology clean drinking water violence against women I have to put that up there because that's one of my personal priorities let's not talk about what we're going to do but identify a challenge that's out there and just go out there and tackle it yourselves I've got a network that's doing just that that has a global mission and frankly I need all of you not only I need all you but but the people that we're trying to reach need you so join me let's do something really practical when we leave here today let's plan our next steps because yes change the world yeah we need to change the world that is a priority but actually it's you who are going to change the world so get out there and go do it thank you very much Cheryl please John Andrews show with us your thoughts yeah for me I'm coming from UN habitat one of the many many UN agencies and for us I would say this is a one-to-one relationship with what we're doing just how many of you come from urban areas quite a lot of you how many of you consider yourself young quite a lot of you so basically you're in my target group you and have that is is the urban organization of the UN and another question how many here I've heard about permanent forum of indigenous issues the permanent forum of indigenous indigenous issues it's a UN forum for indigenous people how many I heard about the permanent forum for youth anyone heard about it that's quite impressive but it doesn't exist because at the UN we don't have this structured mechanisms here I mean we agreed that the dedicated space mechanisms with official status within the ministries and the national governments as a real important thing but what you and how it is pushing we should have the same at UN why should we preach to the national governments to put up formal mechanisms for youth participation in governance and we don't do the same and that's yesterday the secretary general Ban Ki-moon launched the world we want report and one of the things is said was there's obviously a global appetite for participation more than one million has taken the survey the world we want globally and what's amazing is us at least half of them is below 30 years so I mean 500,000 globally like us has taken the survey to tell the UN and the Secretary General our priorities for the SDGs but also what's fascinating is that I mean close to 30-40% is offline so you have really good people young people volunteer going around with papers in slums other places where there's offline they don't have internet so they asking one by one what's your priorities and then after we're going back to their scout houses or guides or whatever organization has done it and punch it in so you have almost 40% of the one million has been offline this is really a global survey and one of the things I do is managing a youth fund so you and have that we give grants to youth groups globally that do amazing things so the youth groups themselves come up with the projects they want to do and they apply for us for funding some of the things they do is using technology and ICT to change their communities anyone heard about Kibera one that's a quite big slum area in Nairobi where I live close to a million people living in a small area of a bit more than two square kilometers is quite dense that's one time in history that was a forest the problem is that Kibera is informal settlements slums the slum is not a pretty thing but there's a lot of amazing people living there so you have a youth group called map Kibera they taught other youths how to use small GPS after that they walked around in the slum mapped out the whole thing then suddenly you had a map of the slum for the first time in the life people living there could go online or on the paper and pointing that's my house that's where I live for the first time imagine someone else and you know where you live and then of course also mapping out where's the schools where the health clinics where the water posts where the toilets but then what do you use so you have technology technology is a tool it's never a solution you can have I mean amazing apps but if no one uses it I mean it's just an app so technology can never be the solution but it's gonna be a quite important tool and what map Kibera is doing they're taking this base map then they're going out asking the people living in slums so where do you feel insecure where's the rape going on where do you get mugged a lot then they make this thematic maps so suddenly they can go to the politicians and the police and saying maybe you should spend a little bit more time in that area because there every night's young girls getting raped because there is no light there so then they go to the municipality saying maybe you should do something with the lights but before you have a map you don't have the information you can't take informed decision the other small example from what type of project we're funding is from Cairo a bit more people I've heard about Cairo than Kibera I guess one of the problems in Cairo is sexual harassment against women so then one of the use groups there harass map if you go online harassment dot org and what they do is using technology to map out sexual harassment against women putting everything up on the map crowd sources and then that's technology what you do you have the information then you take one step further you go out to the community talking with the people talking with bus drivers taxi drivers restaurant owners people just hanging around on the street talking about what sexual harassment and saying that this is not really a good idea to to have and then if they agree okay we want to fight against sexual harassment against women they get a sticker they can put on their restaurant this is a harassment free zone and then talking with the bus companies so talking with the bus drivers what sexual harassment and what's not and then they badging the bus company saying this is a safe choice for women this is harassment free buses and then after a month of tracking this and using people that take to take the buses if no one files any reports of harassment for a month then they get the sticker saying this is a safe choice for women that's how you can use technology to change your community just on the last one create formal links between the national youth ministries and the office of UN special envoy we talked about it it's it's a good idea to to have more resources to Ahmed's office but we're not really sure what you meant about these formal links either so back to the semantics thank you thank you very much now we would like to hear some of the ideas and topics of discussion that you were having in your table so if you could please a volunteer so we can go to your table yeah if if you if you already presented on the first question please let others a comment comment their their thoughts please hello and also I would like to remind you if you could please speak slowly a but within one minute so it's a double challenge thank you hello is it working no hello yeah I know it's working so we voted for point three and four because we thought that that first of all the second point is not clear enough oh sorry can you have can you give another microphone hello okay so we voted on idea three and four because without that you has to be more involved in decision-making one of the problems with take note of the app young 2015 global geothermic is that take not was a problem with that clause what we understand in taking note is that they will give a paper to all the diplomats in the GA at that moment and if they want they can read it and if they're not they they want so taking note is not implementing taking not doesn't mean that the ideas will get out of that meeting room dedicate more time at National Ministry of Labor to consider the views of young people it's different it means that youth will be involved in decision-making and create a dedicated space and mechanism with official whatever it says it means that what we get of that is that it can be youth parliament can be implemented a youth representation a regional youth representation can be implemented and we can have discussion debate between real policymakers diplomats politicians and youth thank you very much that second table and third ones over here please hello can you hear me yeah can you hear me well excuse me parentheses first can you please show us the computer input so we can see the results go on thanks well I'm going to speak in Spanish so I can speak a little bit faster so you can put on the device bueno en nosotros eligimos ok we chose the option number two for one reason I'm very important important very reason what we're all doing if we don't take note of everything we're doing here we'll gathered then it doesn't make much sense to come together so the UN has to make sure to look at what we're doing and listen to us but there has to be a reason for that we also chose the fourth option create dedicated spaces and mechanisms with official status within ministries international governments we chose this option because we find it important for us as young people to be empowered in our governments and ministries to make joint decisions together with government leaders by having an official status in our countries that would also show that we have some kind of representation whether we have a special envoy or other representatives in UN councils that means that youth would have a voice from all countries in the UN besides the representation we have with our presidents third question third table sorry thank you good afternoon in our table we have chosen points number four and five essentially with the idea of thinking globally acting locally this session and the whole summit has been a great opportunity for us to look at common ideas with people from several countries and multiple interested of multiple stakeholders and to look at priorities for the future it would have been interesting to have even more time for these ending reflections as we had so much time for the hackathon it would have been nice to have more time for us to think about and decide on what we're going to tell the UN but it has created great opportunities many steps forward to get all these ideas to come together and this should continue through our proposal but we can't just remain with the global because we have problems coming up in our own countries in our own communities so we have to go lower we have to have space in our regional and local governments as well not just national so that we can make decisions that are geared towards the needs of each community and that's why we chose those two now we would like to connect with the Brazil hub they've been following us during this session and we would like to hear their views on the question number two hello it's great to have you here we would like to hear a little bit more on your thoughts on question number two so we're going to have to use some graphic design to help you try to say what you have to say but basically what you want to say to world leaders is that when we we think about how can we express you in your priorities first of all we have to be listen they cannot take ideas from nowhere they have to listen to the other people and we have more than three billion young people in the world right now and how can we do that we have been seeing examples from IQ which is conference but we know that more than four billion people have no access to internet at all and in Brazil that's numbers is bad as well we have only 20 percent of people connected to brand war connection so we were thinking about what to include people who may be using cell phones and SNS as well in this process as some countries and Africa dates to the my words consultation so in that way we can have sure that our views are being debated not something that they just came out from some places and from you know other interest and in that way I also think that the debates must go from the international level to the local level that's great feeling that the debates are mostly at the international level and then anybody on the cities or the other cities do not know or understand why they are so important so for you to know in Brazil the MDGs we are good with the goals very great of them but when you go to the cities there's no one even know what they are so this is a very good for this is a professional we have so that we find ways and means that the debates also go down and they go and from down to the top as well so we can include everyone in this process and the process is present in every one of the levels and for that to happen we need young people to be in each and every level of the process so guaranteeing that the message is passing by as it comes that's it thank you thank you very much we would like to thank everyone connecting from the hubs all of you are here and also what's going on oh well the hubs everyone that's watching us via streaming all of you here for participating and of course our panelists thank you very much thank you also we would like to welcome Ahmad Alindawi the UN Secretary General Special Envoy on Youth who just joined us thank you very much for being here and now we're gonna move towards the hackathon competition results so I would like to welcome Lilian Marin and Luis Diego Riamuno to share with us what happened there we're very excited and very eager to hear all about it please help us out with the table here so that they can have the presentation thank you thank you Melissa my name is Diego my colleague Lilian Lilian Marin well we would like to start telling you a little bit about the hackathon that we just had in in the previous 36 hours probably we started on Monday by 3 p.m. and when we announced here that we still had open registrations we had a lot of interest of participants here and at the end we had 15 teams over 60 participants from 18 countries so that was really impressive people from all around the world getting together to work after just a few minutes they really they're really getting to each other working on three specific teams that we we have decided which are education environment and health and with a plus so some of our mentors and in the ideation meeting they were asking requests to develop projects aligned to the ODMs the development those that's nervous okay so at the end after 24 hours we had the final presentations with three panel of judges one panel for education and one panel for environment one panel for health and composed by one expert one technician expert one thematic expert and one representative from organization at the end we had five projects on each stem and at the end the judges decide or choose to this semi-finalist two projects on each category okay and those those teams are on education team zero and the team with the digital evaluation system on health the teams are be the health and sorry baby health and beat them up on an environment the project green activists and cart all zero and to happen now we're going to call three winners are the part of the finalist we have yesterday and they are the best teams of the whole competition we're going to call them and make a small presentation for five minutes and you're going to vote you have to use your tablet to vote the best application you think is so we're going to start with the first category is education we're calling the team gold zero please come to the stage we're going to announce the participant of the team Amanda Meng, Nekabari Esoga, Nekabari are you here? he's here welcome to Nekabari Esoga part of the team gold zero. Kira applause please let's welcome to Alice Esteleo, Anna Brown, five minutes here we go okay good afternoon everyone we want to say thank you all for the opportunity to speak with you all today this is sort of a brief demo of our platform that we came up with known as goal two Alec here was a web developer Deena was also a developer Amanda and I are from the sort of social science background so we presented kind of the economic analysis to why this thing was sort of work so essentially we were tasked with how we can use ICT to address the millennium development goals pinned in 2000 something we spoke about here in the first session here we selected the goal of we were selected excuse me for the goal of education and so we came up with a mobile place platform that would allow students teachers and parents in developing countries to really sort of use mobile platform to use mobile apps use this mobile app to sort of engage policymakers and see the ways that specific gaps to sort of miss the sort of existing in policy and then in that way it will sort of inform government leaders the better ways and the best ways excuse me to to guess implement policy solutions for I'm so sorry we have a technical problems so we have to start again I'm so sorry hold on a second they will give us the design and you can start again okay thank you thank you okay it's here okay one more time on behalf of everyone here at the lab here with Georgia Tech we want to say thank you this opportunity to address you today this is Alex Delea my name is Nekabari Goka this is Deena Brown and this is Amanda Main we sort of combine to come up with a mobile based platform to sort of addresses a lot of a lot of the policy gaps that we see in developing countries so just a little bit of background information we're tasked with how to use ICT to help address some of the millennium development goals that we mentioned here in the first session we were selected or were chosen to address the goal of education which is millennium development goal number two and so in doing so we said we wanted to build off of existing infrastructure in developing countries in this case ICT or telecommunications platforms and see how we can develop a mobile app a mobile platform with students teachers and parents can do a better job of performing their policymakers are the reasons that they're not going to school again millennium development goal number two excuse me is the achievement of universal primary education all over the world so we figured okay there might be sort of gaps in policy to why governments and policymakers don't necessarily know why their students are going to school so we figured okay we'll use a mobile platform a mobile app something that governments can use students and parents and can use to inform their government leaders and the governments can also use to do sort of a cross country across sectional data analysis of what's actually going on how this app works and what sort of policy interventions are needed to make sure the education is reached so Amanda is going to sort of dummy you guys with the with the with the demonstration of the platform okay so what we're looking at right here is a map visualization of which countries are on target for achieving MDG to the universal primary education the darker blue is closer to a hundred percent completion of primary school the lighter blue is not quite there yet so you can hover over and see the country and the the the primary school completion rate we also built in a search feature so you can go over and search for a specific country and and the map will navigate you to that country so let's go ahead and click on Costa Rica so here once you click on a country it takes you in to see over time how the primary school completion rate is increasing and what policies have been put in place to reach a hundred percent primary school completion rate if you scroll down one of you can see the policies listed and it may be having to do with educational materials teacher training or could be a conditional cash transfer it could be investing in in anti malaria so the coolest part though about this is that you have a live feed to the right of text messages coming in from students and youth parents teachers in Costa Rica that are saying why their kids aren't going to school so what we're trying to say is there's this gap between the local knowledge of why kids aren't going to primary school and policymakers who are making decisions about intervention so it could be in this area that the roads are really bad and when it rains they can't get to school and so they'll text in that that's why and policymakers can have a more informed decision so it's this really great exercise in open government and ground-true thing what kind of policies need to be put in place so Dean is going to talk more about the SMS alright so we in addition to building this website we build at the application it's a SMS application we developed version in English and Spanish and as Amanda said the idea is that parents for instance or the students themselves could text in information about really why they maybe missed school for a day and so the application is very simple it at the first question it asks is you know if someone didn't show up to school a teacher could ping the parent for instance and say why didn't why did your child not show up to school it gives them options so the parent could say it's due to road conditions and then give more details and that's what gets integrated here the idea is that it's we want to integrate integrate crowdsourcing into this to kind of give citizens a platform so that their voices their issues can be heard so that it's not just there they won't come up as just not sending their children to school for instance but that you know all the issues can be visible and so overall our team name is called zero because we really believe that zero should be the number of children without a very basic primary level education and so that's kind of the whole goal of our project is to kind of tie government and policy makers so that they can all see interventions going on and then to tie in crowdsourcing so citizens can also play a role in moving policy forward thank you thank you the next team to present their app is be the map let's go Alejandro Martínez Jose David Mora Khalilad Kedavadi and Melanie Castro give her applause please okay thank you guys you have five minutes go my name is Khaled and I'm from Kuwait hi my name is Alberto I'm from Spain I'm an I'm an Android developer hi my name is Alejandro I'm a web developer my name is money and I'm from here Costa Rica so we are here today to show you an application that will make you have a healthier life without paying anything lack of outbreak awareness does any of you know what the cholera disease is does anyone know what the cholera disease is you know that you know that it can kill you within hours if not treated you know how to prevent it please put your hands up you know how to prevent the cholera disease hands up one two three four five six seven eight well now I'll pass it on to my technical team that will explain more about the application so what we build is an open an open platform from for health alerts to be pushed and to create a map and that represents all the health outlets in the world in any place at any time so you got a map I don't know if it's on that screen and which you can click and access all the information for all the symptoms and prevention and treatment for any given disease and you can also set for other places for example and all this information gets updated dynamically from where well we also got a we also got a mobile phone app which Alberto is going to show so this is the Android app it's very simple first it gets your GPS location and it points exactly where you are and that and with that it gets the alert from exactly where you are so here you have the case of Costa Rica San Jose so for with that you click the information about the alert you want and you get the description the symptoms how to treat it in case you get it and how to prevent it and it's very easy just like that and we also integrated one more thing into the Android app we integrated the map so right from the Android app if we get it loading it takes to load because of the internet connection so yeah you can search any place around the world get the alert for the place you're going to be traveling to and all that from an Android app but there's one last thing you can also add alerts this is an open platform what we want is the user from all around the world to be able to add alert from the place they are living in and with that they'll be able to give back the information that they know of their country so for example if I want to go to the Republic of Dominicana people from there might have added that you have color of that and with the app I'll be able to find it and be safe here when I when I go there and we can submit it and once it's done it automatically appears in the app in this case I added a supposedly yellow fever and efficient here here is the alert it takes a bit because of the connection here is yellow fever so there is alerts and notifications I'd like to just explain briefly on that for example if I want to travel from place to another place and I will concentrate because you a lot of us are like youngsters I will concentrate on AIDS and HIV let's say that I went to a country with high rates of AIDS and HIV once I enter will use that your location and it will alert you instantly and to tell you that the rates of HIV in that country is high and that you need protection it will alert you on daily basis and this is something that we can actually play around with we want to make this a community based platform which with open APIs and based on open data for around the world and make it a source of health habits for views not only for our own apps for but also for no other apps so imagine a gigantic database of disease alert from all around the world and also people can comment on the alerts they have in their own country for example if I get cholera I might say the experience I have and how I managed to prevent it so please sit back for a second imagine the life we could save with information how to prevent it etc please think about the life we could save with Vida thank you thanks you guys let's welcome to the team the winner the finalized the finalized from environment team number one let's welcome to Miguel Cayetano Urena Humana Williams Luisa Lonzo Murillo Rojas and Marcella Amador Salas remember guys you have five minutes ready go well hello everybody we're team from Costa Rica we developed and for the team of environment the app called green activists okay the green activism app was born from a question we see every day in Facebook for example we see everyday people posting features of environmental problems happening now and they see and they say okay this is happening and people come in and people share but what's the problem there it stays on Facebook that's not what we want we want to go further we want to go to the government we want to go to other entities who can help us so is fix this problem and help us have a better a better place a better country a better world so you can look in from Facebook and if you are afraid that something might happen to you or you just don't have Facebook like some people do you just go as an animal you place enter and we have this the first thing we want to do is to create the best example of environmental conservation so we place a endangered species as an avatar and mask that you have you have to take care of so we have the turtle and the frog they're both animals who have species in problems of conservation of a sting so for example Costa Rica the golden frog it's about to be extinct and the sea turtles are too so we have the points the level and these points are not earned by buying things spending money for example in all games in Facebook these points are earned when you help some institution and when you post complaints and when you make some activism they are only earned by that way so you have to do something in order to this to grow so in the complaints we have to can you go we have a list of the top complaints so these are the complaints to have more signs so when you select one it shows this that explanation of the complaint a picture and the entity who was notified about this so every time you hit on sign can we go to complaints every time you hit on sign within this we want to create pressure to make pressure to the ministries and the government and the entities to not be ignored that's a big problem we have all of the work a tendency for confirmation and we don't want that so every time someone hits sign the people send an email from their account we avoid spam because it's not just one account the more people the more emails the more pressure we can get things faster and you can hit share when you hit share well be supposed to Facebook we have a lot of posts of all four of us to share and more people to know it so we can go to activism activism is a part where you can propose some policies some laws something that can make change the place you live so we hit the policies we have again the top and we got to the description you have the description you cannot photo or just from your gallery you have both the more votes the more events you can create for it the more possibilities to make something happen so it thanks you and you get points but that and your turtle can grow so we have to do to the last one point we have that is conflict zones this is something we wanted to do because it gives you a global aspect of what's going on so you have conflict zones you have a map every time someone denounces about the month of people denounce something on a country it creates red points the more points of summer you know there's a problem there so governments can see that they can see there's a really big problem somewhere and they have to do something so ministers help governments help people help and we're all involved in not just on Facebook so we want a better world thank you guys did you like it was fun they develop this just in 24 hours non-sleep a lot of we had a lot of Red Bulls going around and people sleeping on the floor that was that was very fun music someone good but now we want you to have your own deliberation your own discussion on your groups your table groups and in about five minutes you are gonna are going to vote about who is the best project whose second places and who's third so please discuss about it talk about the abs and then consider things like the innovation factor the creativity the scalability that you found on these projects and I will go back to you in about five minutes the design counts and the usability yes it's only one vote for for each table oh remember that you have to get a consensus on your tables are you'll be voting by table by table okay one more minute remember it's one ball by table you have to be agree with which team you're going to be with the winner okay let's go silence please we need to get the results now Lillian Lillian Marine Lily we need the results now we ask you to vote all the tables that want to give their support to the team number one zero the first product that you saw the person who wants to give their vote for that project silence please silence silence silence groups voting for the first project that you just saw goal o2 please rate the number of your table now now we're voting we need one vote for each table the tables the ones to give their vote to the first project that you saw goal o2 vote now okay we're expecting that you have to be agree each table have a have a vote okay no each participant in the boldest pie table so we're going to vote the first presentation is the team number 15 the application name is gold zero and you're going to vote now please raise your hand who is going to vote for raise the number of your table who wants to give the vote to do to this team please if raising the number of your table please we're counting thank you now we're going to vote the second presentation is team number eight Vida map please raise your hands raise the number of your table please I repeat we're voting the second presentation the team is number eight the app name is Vida map now we're voting for the last presentation the team number is number one and the application name is green activists please raise the number of your table now we're going to to call me a bottle you want to make a comment okay hold on a second I will call you someone with a microphone well hi I would just like to say a couple of things first we as a group when we were discussing who to vote for we thought that it wasn't very fair to have three very different apps about very different topics in the same like category and also we feel that it it's not even polite to have an open vote when we're supposed to vote secretly with the apps so I we think that's a little disrespectful for all the participants and maybe next time also next time the vote could be individual because it's very hard to maybe reach consensus at a table especially when there's so many people from Costa Rica I think it's a little bias thank you very much thank you for your opinion we we deliver what the judges deliver and we they decide they are the best applications on their categories I know it's not that fair that you have to concern in every table to decide who must be the winner but unfortunately we have a few technical problems again and they they're supposed to be using the type of the tablet to both each one of you but I'm so sorry for that it didn't it wasn't expected next time we try to do it better so I'm after announced the winners we want to go to give an special mention and a special gift to another do the other three teams and finalists of the competition I will call them to the stage please okay I want to to give an applause to team digital evolution evolution please come to the stage the health as well and car O2 please come to the stage we want to thank

Thank you very much. I want to thank you as well to the mentors who was working as well with us earlier in the morning, late at night, coming from Ericsson, coming from Noon, coming from Intel, coming from different companies that helped us all the time during these 24 hours. And for me it was more than that. Thank you very much for everyone, and good luck. Thank you very much, Lilian, Ludiego, and everyone who participated. It's very interesting to have seen all this mixed talent and all these ideas and hard work and sacrifice and amazing outcomes. So really this competition was just like a motivation and a kickstarter to really get all of you, the ones that participated in the hackathon and the ones who didn't, to reflect upon how many things we can create. We don't need a lot of resources. We don't need a lot of time even if you have an idea, go for it. So I hope that everyone involved or not had learned from some of the new skills and knowledge and inspiration from the rest of the participants. So thank you again everyone for participating and everyone for voting as well. Okay, now it's time for us to take a coffee break. So we'll be back at 5.30 p.m. Please be super prompt because we are going to have the closing session of the summit with the appearance of President Laura Tinchilla. So let's pay her our respects. Thank you very much and see you back at 5.30.


Hi, this is Wyatt from Scotland. You are watching Trucker George Vlogs on YouTube along with the real star of the show, The Diesel. And mind you subscribe. Well good morning everybody. We're at the co-op card lock in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. We're about to roll over to the other side of town, grab our freight, which I think are gonna be big giant spools. I explained it to you yesterday, right? These people in Toronto area that want them. They want them perfectly clean, so they asked that I would wash my freight before delivering it. And I sort of gave a funny look. I said well, I've never washed my freight, but why don't I just tarp it? Fantastic idea, right? So we're gonna tarp the freight. We wouldn't usually tarp these kind of spools, but hey, they want clean freight, I'll bring them clean freight. I'm not gonna wash it. I gotta pay to wash that then. I don't have to pay to tarp it. Thinking, saving the money. Oh, this guy's waiting for me. Not bad, didn't even know. Why was he waiting for me? He didn't have a stop sign, did he? I have no idea. Let's get out of here. Stop means spin tire on pavement. That's what my dad told me anyway when I was a kid. Well, Diesel, we've been here all day. All day. I'm tired. I'm dirty. I'm tired. I want to go home. So this is the load. All tied down, chained down and tarped. All kinds of spools underneath there. I'll load it in the back. It took all day. All day. And then just for the cherry on top of the cake, the cherries were dead when I came to start it and get going. I don't know why, so I don't know what that was all about. But we got her started.  Now I've ran over to the co-op to grab my coffee because I haven't had a coffee today. Can you believe it? The sun's about to go down and I haven't had a coffee yet. So we're going to head back home for a couple of days. I'm going to get home tonight. It's going to be late tonight now. I wanted to be home earlier but it is what it is. Which way do I go from here, Karen? Do you want me to turn left? You don't even know. You don't even know, do you? Are you jammed again? Karen! Yeah, she wants me to go left. I'm going to be going right back on that same road, Highway 2, all the way through Saskatchewan, the rest of Saskatchewan, and all the way through Manitoba to the southeast of Manitoba. I think it's straight through on this road. There you are, Karen. Glad you joined the party. That are late than never. Yeah, we should have gone straight down this road. The right in front of us is right down here, all the way home. So it's about a half-day drive to get home from here, and then when we leave for Toronto, it's about a two-day drive to Toronto. But we're going to make it into two and a half days because I'm going to leave on Friday so we can get there Sunday night and deliver Monday morning. It sounds like I've got to reload already. Probably some steel that's coming back to the Alberta oil fields. That's what I'm thinking is probably going to happen. As well, I hit the road. Looks like we'll be driving into the night tonight. Britt's not going to be happy. I told her I'd be home around supper.  When I say supper, that means midnight. Screaming past Winnipeg on the south side here.  She's going to pipe up right away. Remember when this parked back here, this would be better to show you this during the day. But this is all subdivisions here now, right? All people living here. I can still remember this being open field. Huh? Houston? We have a problem. A whole line of the tree, a whole section. Burnt out on us. And I want to fix it, but I'm scared. Because if I break any of these ornaments, I am a dead man. Don't do it, Dad. Don't do it, Mom will be so mad. Don't do it. Don't touch the tree. Very careful. Back away. Back away like this. That's a good boy. Back away from the tree, Dad. What are you doing? What are you doing? He always likes to walk between people's legs. It's weird, man. It's weird. Stay away from the tree. Stay away from the tree. Mom will be so mad if you break it. Okay, I won't touch it. So for this Christmas, we're going to have a dark section. You can see it better at night. But that's too bad. I know. It's upsetting. It's upsetting, Chevy. Hey, big Frank. Say hello to everybody. What? Hey, y'all. Diesel. You're next. I saw your tail wagging. You're next. Say hi. Hi. Come with me. Where's Wiener? Where's the Wiener? Anyone seen the Wiener? Chevy, where's the Wiener? Wiener! Wiener. I think I know where he is. Is there a Wiener in here? There's no Wiener in his bed. Wiener? Wiener! What are you doing? Hey, do it all by yourself. Hello. Good morning. Hello. You weren't bad. Don't worry. You weren't bad.  That's fine. It's cool being a loner. It's all right. Go on. Go join the family. You know where you're going to go sleep in your bed? Sleep in there? Okay. He gets all sad and depressed when mom's not here. Mama's boy. Whatever. So yeah. We made it home. Thank you for those of you who have been sending in your intros that I have at the beginning of these videos. I want to get a whole bunch of new ones. But I always like including you guys at the beginning of the video sort of makes you a part of what we're doing here then it's not just me doing all the talking. You can get your voice in there too. You can say whatever you want to say as long as it's respectable. Remember that children watch these videos.  But you can try. You can send it in anyway. We'll see. See what happens. But it's a... Yeah. It's a cold day outside. It's a little bit colder than it was last time which is unfortunate because we have some work to do. We still haven't finished the Christmas lights. We've gotten all the way around the house now like we got those icicles there, right? We got those green and red ones all the way around. I got to put on another two strands at the back yet. And then we got to go and do the garage. I should have started earlier. I'm totally going to start earlier next year. We're going to take them all down in spring, right? But next year I think I'm going to put them up in September. Just... This is too cold. My fingers get cold. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee, where's my cup? There it is. It's over there. Hey. Hey. Those of you who don't know who this guy is, you've been asking. He's our foster boy. His name is Frank also. Frankie.  This guy's mom is in the hospital. Well, in the hospital but she's going through some pretty serious treatments and stuff with the doctor and isn't able to care for him right now. So he's our foster. We're just taking care of him for a little while. Well, she goes through that. One last thing on her plate, right? She's got enough to worry about having a deal with the doctor all the time. So we don't mind. We're a dog friendly household. Actually, I think we're a people friendly household. They tolerate us. They run the place. Appropriate, I think. Just a splash. A splash of milk. Put this back in the fridge before I forget and get in trouble when Britain gets back from work. What? I'm coming. Calm down. Oh, yeah. There it is. It's a liquid life. Now we can get going with the day. Oh, hot. Just the way we like it. Okay. So I guess I'm going to be working on getting these lights finished. These aren't all lights. Here, one sec. Chevy, are you going to help me this time? No, you're just going to sit inside. These are all just clips. We have tons and tons of these clips because I use way too many. I'd rather use way too many. That way they definitely stay. It's the same way I tie down a load. I'd rather you use way too much load securement than not enough, right? You can never have too many straps on a load but you can have too few.  Now I'm on the road and I don't expect Britt to climb up there and fix it if they fall down so I better make sure they don't fall down. We've got to hang up all those up there. Well, that'll be my adventure for tomorrow's vlog, I guess. We've got to end this here. So thanks for tuning in. Thanks for hanging out with me. This was a really fun trip down to Georgia. I had a really good time. It was good to be down there again and unfortunately I am back up here where the cold hurts my face. That is our backyard. No comment other than that. I've got to get back here with my ladder and finish this today. So what I do is I should do this on tomorrow's vlog. I should tell you tomorrow. We've got to save something for tomorrow, everybody. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe if you want to be included in the intro at the beginning of my vlogs. Even if you sent in one before, you want to send in another one. I don't care how many you send. I'll use them all. Send it to TJV at email.com. That's email, not Gmail. Email. Link is down below in the description. You can click on that. You can send it there. If the file that you used is too big to send through email, you can upload it to Dropbox and then you can email me the link. And then I can go into my Dropbox and download it from there. I think that's how that works, right? Is that how that works? I don't know. It's best if we can just email. Most people have been fine just emailing it.  Enjoy the show. You can add whatever you want in there. You can say you're a little bit in there. And I think it'd be fun. And you can wait to see your face pop up on YouTube. All right? It's fun for everybody. I think so. See you guys tomorrow.
