Can a simple act truly create a ripple effect in the lives of the underprivileged? Volunteering is often considered an easy pass by most as they believe that opportunities are scarce and it requires a lot of money. The very act of charity itself has been reduced to big actions that ultimately mean very little. Humanitarian and life coach, Shefa Ali, is here to show you otherwise. With touching stories of her charity initiatives that take her from the United Kingdom to Tanzania and finally to her home country, Qatar, Ali shows how meaningful human connection could help change the life of countless people.

TEDxYouth@DPSMIS is organized by DPS-MIS, Al-Wakrah, Qatar students and aims to inspire the diverse and vibrant youth of Qatar with Ideas Worth Spreading. For more information, kindly visit our website: http://www.tedxyouthdpsmis.com/

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. For more information, kindly visit: https://www.ted.com/
