Hi folks,
I have received an invitation from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (via Wikimedia Foundation) to attend TEDxKibera. At this event, attendants shall discuss the potential and dynamism of Kibera and we'll hear some short talks from people in Kibera as well as speakers like Melinda Gates (wife of Bill Gates) and Salim Mohamed from Carolina for Kibera. Other speakers can be found here: http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/2030
I initially thought that some of you may accompany me; but unfortunately I only got one invitatation and this event is an ''invites-only''.
Regards Abbas.
