Raquelina Fernando Langa, the promising
young woman who came to New York in 2014

heart, she achieved a depth of character that

Raquelina was a young Mozambican woman,

to UN Headquarters in New York as his
special guest for a day. Sponsored by UN

2014, International Youth Day.

knew Raquelina," said Florence Raes,

Women Representative in Mozambique. "We
will continue to honour her memory by
pursuing her dream, bringing about broader
access to education for girls as well as secure environments free of violence, so that

or from the south—could aspire to one day
be the United Nations Secretary-General.[img]http://3.bp..com/-f9Q7sAZk_HA/Vvryaea_rbI/AAAAAAAAAz0/tV25On7PIIkjmnsYpD4HtSfol4mmxZLsA/s1600/2_3.jpg[/img]
