00:00Y finalmente, extra especial cheer, porque dice, finalmente, Venezuela.
00:10An auténtico heart opens paths and inspires hope no matter the obstacles.
00:16And for me, true beauty is not about physical appearance, it's about what you inspire with it.
00:22It's your essence.
00:23My name is Valeria Canabó. I'm 24 years old, fashion designer representing the beautiful country of Venezuela.
00:31And since I was a young girl, I understood the importance of essential values to be integrated in our daily life.
00:39Today, UNESCO Star reports that over 40% of children worldwide suffer from the consequences of growing up in violent environments.
00:49And this can lead to them to develop problems such as anxiety, depression, and fear.
00:55This can limit them, at the same time, to not taking advantage of life opportunities or quality education.
01:03However, I feel that there is a solution for this matter, and this is called integral education.
01:10The ones that nurtures not only brilliant minds, but also conscious hearts.
01:15When we educate children with respect, empathy, dignity, self-confidence, and nonviolence,
01:23we are ensuring a better future for our society.
01:27We are ensuring women and men of success.
01:31Women and men that know that the only limits that they have are the ones that they put on themselves.
01:37Not the ones that others put on them.
01:39And also women and men that are going to know how to relate respectfully and peacefully with other people and with them.
01:47I have partnered with people and organizations who share this vision,
01:51such as FAYALEGRIA, a proudly Venezuelan educational institution that is now over 20 countries worldwide.
01:58And also the Gandhi Center, who brings emotional intelligence into the classroom.
02:03I have worked with them and with children of a vulnerable community in Caracas, Venezuela.
02:10And I have seen the very good result in them and the transformation in them.
02:15And these results give me the motivation for continuing advocating for quality education.
02:20Because I want every children in the world to have access to it.
02:25And to know that they can achieve anything they want in life if they trust in themselves.
02:30At 14, I wrote my first story, The Crystal Princess.
02:35And it talks about self-transformation and essential values.
02:40I wrote it at the time because it was my hobby.
02:43And I didn't expect this to fit very well with my project.
02:48Because it talks about essential values and self-transformation.
02:52And sometimes children can learn quicker and faster when they have something illustrator, more fun, and more dynamic.
02:58I didn't expect this hobby to be a very powerful and essential tool in my purpose or in delivering my message.
03:09With my platform and with my voice, I want every children in the world to have access to interior education.
03:16To know that they are valuable, that they are capable of achieving anything that they want in life.
03:23And also to know if they have ever felt like they didn't fit in.
03:27It's because they are destined to stand out.
03:29I am here today because I believed in me.
03:32And I know that every children in the world can also achieve anything they want in all their dreams if they trust in themselves.
03:40Thank you so much.
03:41Thank you.
03:41Thank you.
03:42Thank you.
