Global Changemaker Announced

While most teenagers are playing video games or vegetating in front of the television, Alanda Kariza is changing the world.

The 17-year-old was recently selected by the British Council to be Indonesia's 'changemaker,' joining 59 other youngsters from 50 countries around the globe. Her qualifications: She founded the organization The Cure for Tomorrow, with the modest goal of saving the planet, at the age of 15. Oh, and she's even authored a book already.

Next stop for the ambitious changemaker, the famed World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. There she'll get to hobnob with some of the greatest achievers on the planet - and, hopefully, teach some of those world leaders about Indonesia. Kudos to Kariza for her accomplishments at a tender age; to learn more about the changemakers program, click here.
