Teenagers can change the world, says Tutu

Denver,USA - South African Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu looked across a sea of cheering teenagers from around the globe on Sunday, and told them not that only can they change the world, but they must."I look at you, and I am in awe," he said on the final day of an international call for peace and action called PeaceJam."You are the ones who are going to make this a better world."

The Archbishop, a 1984 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, was one of 10 Nobel laureates to address the 3 000 young people gathered from 31 countries for the 10th anniversary of the PeaceJam movement at the University of Denver. Over the three-day run, laureates urged the world's youth to not just yearn for peace, but to take action."
