Go big or go home!

Yesterday five of us Global Changemakers jetted down in Miami, ahead of the Clinton Global Initiative University, accompanied by the lovely Katherine and Louise our two favourite people.
Today we got down to work and done what we do best as Global Changemakers, practising our pitches and learning new skills that we can put into use in the next few days, Katherine has done a fab job at making us all confident ready to engage with over 1,600 elite students from across the States.
We've laughed, we've joked and most of all had fun, with lot's of fine American food (supersize.com) Gordon Ramsey would be pleased with us, we made a new friend down on Miami Beach called Billy at a pretty cool restaurant - such a classic American dude.
We will be leaving Miami for sure with a total new accent, especially our friend Amu from South Africa who has really got to grip with this American dialect, a beautiful deep southern accent with such taste and flavour as tasty as the burgers and buffalo wings.
One thing to mention for sure is that where ever we go World Leaders just like to follow us, today Obama jetted down in Miami and we were lucky to see his entourage as we headed to Miami Beach for a well deserved stroll, after a fantastic day of skill building workshops led by Katherine.
That is it for now homies!
P.S// Eduardo loves Katherine's sunglasses!
