I can think of no better way to describe the past year than to share with you the wisdom of four teenagers from a Public School in New Delhi. Asked to define what Dignity means for them during a December visit from Young Global Leaders, they answered, “Dignity re-defines a person’s identity.

It just depends on the mindset of the person."
