Achieving my dreams despite the pain (from Yemen to Italy): Hamdan Al-Zeqri at TEDxSanaa 2013

Hamdan talks about how he managed to overcome his disability and complete his studies in Florence, Italy after he lived through tough days in his home country Yemen. He showcases how he built bridges of understanding through language. He is today, a professional Arabic/Italian translator with credentials and recognition on the level of the EU and highly esteemed Italian establishments including the Italian Supreme Court. همدان الزقري مع كثرة آلامي سأحقق أحلامي: رحلة من اليمن إلى إيطاليا يتحدث همدان عن كيفية تغلبه على إعاقته التي عانى منها في اليمن وإكمال دراسته ليصبح مترجماً رسمياً معترف به على مستوى الاتحاد الأوروبي والمحكمة الدستورية العليا في إيطاليا. كما يذكر بالدور الذي قام به في مد الجسور بين بلده الأم وإيطاليا. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
