TEDx at American School of Bombay today

The theme of our December TEDxASB event is “Dreams for the Lives of Others”. Enter to Learn and Serve is our school’s motto and the motivation for us to host TEDx events for our community. Our school’s mission is to “inspire all of our students to continuous inquiry, empowering them with the skills, courage, optimism, and integrity to pursue their dreams and enhance the lives of others". On December 1st, we will focus on service in the fields of education and health, and engage in discussions about ways to empower our community to become more involved with local issues. Speakers will move us to dream about what is possible and motivate us to strengthen our commitment to serve others. The two speakers for our first TEDx event are Ms. Shaheen Mistry and Dr. Robert Magee. Shaheen Mistry is the CEO of Teach for India and the Founder of Akanksha Foundation. The World Economic Forum has named her among the "Global Leaders of Tomorrow. Dr. Robert Magee is a leading plastic and craniofacial surgeon who founded Operation Smile in 1982 when a group of medical volunteers traveled to the Philippines and saw the hundreds of children who were scarred by deformities. Operation Smile’s mission is to “mobilize a world of generous hearts to heal children’s smiles and transform lives across the globe.” Follow the work of Operation Smile – World Journey of Smiles.
