Manipur to New York

Sometimes, what someone does in her own surroundings can be so inspirational that it can pitchfork that person to the status of a global citizen. Monika Khangembam’s story is a perfect example of this. This zealous activist from Manipur was one of the 15 people from across the world to be invited to the Global Citizen Youth Campaigners Symposium, which took place in New York last week.
