TEDxYouth@Khartoum, Fatma & Sarah: Global Warming, Nov.26.11 December 21, 2011

Favorite:

Sarah Ihab is an eleven year old sixth grader at Khartoum Basic School. She was born in Seattle, WA, USA. She then moved back to Sudan. From an early age, she found that she cared for the environment. Ever since, she has always portrayed a personal interest in local environmental issues to help make Sudan a better place. She is very fond of music and has a talent for singing. She has always wanted to become a fashion designer when she grows up to unleash her creative abilities.

Fatma Khalid Alhag is 11 years old, she is a sixth grader at Khartoum Basic School. At school she is fond of a lot of things like reading, writing and participating in class. "The most important thing I've learnt is that if you don't speak out, no one will ever hear you", and that's exactly what she is doing right now by participating in TEDxYouth@Khartoum. When she is bored she likes to write a lot of things like poetry and songs. That is one of the things that allow her to express herself freely .she also likes watching TV and surfing the internet. Once, while she was doing some research, she found some interesting information about global warming. She realized that that was a very important thing to be aware of. So at last she's taking a stand and trying to enlighten people about causes which are close to her heart. "When I grow up I want to be a business woman just like my Mom, she's like a role model to me, which is exactly how I want to seem to the youth I'm trying to advise".
