Hello everybody,
This looks like a great forum filled with interesting people, I'm going to have fun here . I thought I should introduce myself first and foremost.
My name is Matt, and I'm a 16-year-old student in New Zealand. My interests include football, world politics, journalism, activism, and of course, reading. Unfortunately I don't get the time between school, study, sports and other things to read as often as I would like. My absolute favourite book is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, as it has had a profound influence on what I want to do in life.
I also recently founded a non-profit organisation called IPA. It was basically established to reduce prejudice globally, through an international forum. The idea is to achieve tolerance through communication. We will also try and fund raise for larger organisations in conflict zones, when things get going. The forums are a little empty at the moment, as they've only just been built; however, if any of you are interested, please feel free to check out http://www.ipa-forum.co.nr .
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to meeting some of you here, and joining you in discussion.
Cheers,
Matt
