SOUNDBITE (English), Ahmed ABDIRAHIM, Initiator of Up and coming , &ldquo;I am Somalian, and there was a group of people from different countries I used to hang with, and I was a part o that group until I was 17, and they became like brothers to me, and I think when I was 19 I started to question my environment and I started to question the people around me, I started to question why I was doing what I was doing. I come from those areas and I know what I am talking about, and that&rsquo;s the thing, I try to be a role model for my neighbourhood.&rdquo;
