When asked about why he wants to make a difference so much, he responded by saying "because I feel like I am called to combat injustice. That is where my heart is". "I feel angry that many teenagers avoid that these problems do exist. I want to come in and tell them to wake up and realize what is going on around them" says Michael Kang. Through his works with GAGI, Michael has influenced thousands of youth to stand up against injustice.

"Through the power of this generation, we can truly make a difference to end poverty and injustice"
