All 2019 Children’s Peace Prize Nominees

Despite major financial difficulties, Jonathan was the best student in his public school and was thus promoted to a private school. He reached many academic successes in school but had to interrupt schooling after high school because of financial circumstances. Nonetheless, he continues to engage himself in community discussions concerning children’s rights. Also, having studied a lot autonomously online via PDF books, he established his own small academy in his community where he is the only teacher. He also participated in the AUCAYD talent show which aims at advocating for the rights of children and youth. He wrote the song “Let change the world”.
