UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS: Nick Katsoris, founder and president of the Loukoumi Make A Difference Foundation, spoke at the United Nations during the Made Impact Summit last week, sharing the foundation’s story and its commitment to global education, cultural exchange and empowering young people to create positive change.
Katsoris’ appearance at the United Nations marked a full-circle moment in a journey that began 22 years ago with a children’s book about a lamb named “Loukoumi,” who travels around the world, meets new friends and performs good deeds. Today, that story has grown into a global movement focused on inspiring young people to lead with kindness, compassion and service. The Loukoumi Foundation unites more than 150,000 children in 30 countries to make a difference in their communities and the world around them through causes they are passionate about.
The Made Impact Summit brought together changemakers, leaders and visionaries committed to creating meaningful social impact and building a more equitable, sustainable and peaceful world. Katsoris also participated in a panel focused on Global Education and Exchange, ratifying Made Impact’s mission: that
International exchange and education represent one of the world’s strongest
long-term strategies for advancing human potential, prosperity and peace.
Thank you Chris Arnold, Minhaz Abedin and the Made Impact team for creating a platform for meaningful conversations around social impact and we applaud the organization's goal of collecting one million stories. A very special thank you to Alexandra Akira for the invitation to the UN and for believing in the Loukoumi Foundation’s mission.
Our visit to the United Nations leaves us even more inspired to continue the Loukoumi Foundation’s work of empowering young people to make a difference — one good deed, one connection and one story at a time.
