"Bryan`s dedication to his work is really admirable, because he is the only Indonesian boy elected among thousands of participants as the winner in the contest," Marty Natalegawa said. He said Bryan`s work indicated that Indonesian younger were able to create good work, to build solidarity and to have sensitivity to poverty issue. The UN stamp, designed by Bryan, depicted children who, after returning from school, help their mothers in the struggle to make ends meet.

"I want to meet `Pak` President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to show him the present I get from the United Nations," Bryan said with a chuckle. (*)
