078: Our Young Generation and the Charities They Support — Good News Shared with Nisha Kotecha

Do not underestimate our youth!

Nisha Kotecha is the founder of Good News Shared, a website that was founded in 2014 that shares the positive things that have happened, or are happening, in the world. Good News Shared was born out of a desperate need to showcase good and uplifting stories in a society that consistently highlights and promotes the bad. Nisha has worked and volunteered for charities in the UK for over 10 years and stresses the importance of why we should give our youth a chance when it comes to working on the causes they care about.
