TEDxYouth@Khartoum, Ahmed Saaid: Traffic & Transportation, Nov.26.11
Channel: TEDx Talks
Date: 2011-12-14

Ahmed Saaid was born in Miami, Florida, USA in 1998. He lived there for 5 years before relocating to Khartoum, Sudan. He has been enrolled in KBS ever since. He's aspiring to become a civil engineer when he grows up so he can design and build bridges and buildings. Ahmed's greatest inspiration to become a civil engineer came from his father who has inspired him with the many great things he accomplished. He aims to inspire the youth to re-shape the image of the city he lives in because "It describes the soul of our community" as he had put it. In his own words: "Through TEDx I want my voice to be heard and my ideas spread so I, may also inspire others to help improve the world we live in." Ali has travelled abroad and has compared the same issues to that of Khartoum. He wants to encourage and motivate those around him so we can all work together in harmony towards a unified vision of a better tomorrow.

About TEDx
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)
