My name is Heitor Santos, 17, and I'm from Brazil. My actions as an activist are related to the use of Education for solving problems related to poor nutrition. I developed a nutritional education methodology to be applied specially in the school environment. I have a special passion for education – the way it changes students’ and teachers’ reality and the potential it has to improve the problems of our society just fascinates me. In the future, I definitely want to work in this area, because I think this is the crucial point for us to have a better world.

I attended the 4th Global Youth Summit in London in 2009 and was Peer Facilitator of Latin American and Carribean Youth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 2010.
