After this basic introduction, each youth from both countries came forward and introduced themselves.

The meeting ended with a prayer said by Fr. Cleophas and both the groups decided to continue to build their solidarity with each other. This skype meet encouraged youth to network with other youth movements and share the spirit of humanity and stand up for human rights.
