So great to meet up with Rena Nickerson, General Manager, Sodastream Canada at the Iftar for 2000 people. Canada and Sodastream share values of co-existence and social cohesion. We are one family. This company is an example to the world.

In many conflict-ridden countries, youth perspectives are often overlooked. Youth in Afghanistan are actively engaged in promoting peace. #YouthDay #YouthDay2020 #YouthDayChallenge
