  Jabouli thanked every Syrian who supported her voice and everyone who contributed to the delivery of her message globally, stressing her determination to continue her efforts to come up with new inventions that serve the Syrian people .

Ghana and China won the second and third places in the Youth Video Contest on this year’s World Intellectual Property Day, which bears the theme “Intellectual Property and Youth…Innovation for a Better Future”.
