WE may be strapped for cash but we have an abundance of hope in our young people, according to Sr Stanislaus Kennedy, chairwoman of Young Social Innovators.

More than 5,500 teenagers participated in this year’s Young Social Innovators, which encourages young people to tackle social issues that concern them.

Sr Stan, a co-founder of the annual event, now in its seventh year, said young people were full of hope for the future.
