Lathouras added, "I firmly believe in providing opportunities for the new generation, and I'm inspired by what they are doing to make the world a more equal, sustainable, and greener place. More and more people are becoming aware of global issues that are occurring around the world, and the younger generation has become the forefront in raising these issues."
