In November 2010, I won the ICRC Young Reporter Competition with an article I wrote on youth and the Mexican drug-related conflict, as viewed through the lens of Twitter posts. I was selected, along with a few other young writers from all over the world, to visit an ICRC mission to communicate on the situation of youth who face armed conflict. In my case, the visit took place in the Philippines in January 2011.
This exercise resulted in an article published by the ICRC, and a series of blog posts.
