A lot about it that they came to burn down our houses we ran for our lives then a fire engine came and we thought it would put out the fire instead it sprayed gasoline onto the fire and the entire village burst into flames. Eventually obtuse addict ended up in the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur many who travelled with him on the secret smuggling routes died along the way at liberty we lost everything on our homes our inland our identity now were stuck in our country and we know nothing about. I mean the north you know with your money. Nearly 180000 refugees and Asylum Seekers live in malaysia most of the. For decades the country has refused to sign the Un Geneva Convention of 951 for malaysias refugees that means no recognised status no protection and no rights. Children are the worst affected malaysia hinders their access to an education 2 thirds of the children do not go to school at all the rest attend informal learning centers such as the few g. School. Deborah henry founded the private school in 2009 its funded by donations many of the children here are traumatized. I remember when i 1st started working for the students we did this activity i gave them pieces of paper and crayons and i said to them just draw something you know your family and your favorite things and that pages remained black and what caused that why why were they not able to dream and to and to create and to think outside of the box and i think theyve gone through so much that you just couldnt they couldnt see beyond now what do you do to like stories someones imagination to get them dreaming and. d d d the children learn english and math the Future School and theyre encouraged to develop selfconfidence in the sense of personal responsibility d when theyre ready to put in the effort they can achieve a lot thats the message that founder Deborah Henry wants to send. Scientists. Trying to find you know. Finds. That. Deborah henry began working as a fashion model when she was 15 she became one of the most famous beauty. Queens of malaysia but then she had the idea to put her fame to good use to fight for refugees rights.

Something hundreds of thousands of others in malaysia can only dream about many refugees here feel abandoned by the government without an official status and opportunities they have been silenced and marginalized. The average malaysian will live life and never meet a refugee and so why should a refugee matter to them how does this great affect their life how do we tell that story of what it means to be a refugee the fact that is anyone can be a refugee its not a function of your wealth your education a privilege anyone can be a refugee just like that and so what then what role did you play when youre in a position where you are born into a state country where you dont have conflict of war how can you then lend a hand to someone else in the. World with her a few g. s school Deborah Henry has made it possible for 400 refugee children to receive an education and she will continue to fight for Refugee Rights in malaysia.

To men with one vision. And. Want to transform the Construction Industry with cement. Free concrete with support from businesses theyre constructing a display house its their 1st attempt to use the material in their impishness project a significant step toward their goal its kind of an amazing feeling we didnt think much of this this week its good to think. Because all the little. We are quite happy to see there is a. Londoner spent years researching cement free Building Materials at the Swiss Federal Institute of technology in zurich cement is responsible for 80 percent of worldwide Carbon Emissions a more sustainable Building Material is long overdue. Founded on construction sites where every year millions of tons of clay based excavation materials are disposed of but when theyre mixed with a naturally occurring mineral and water they result in a Construction Material thats more environmentally friendly than standard concrete walls and corporate cement free of concrete is up to 90 percent. C o 2 production the computer conventional concrete and there are advantages that wed all. Like primary role much to you but come from a place in like gravel and sand. In some areas in the wall but we use construction waste the landfill most of the time and. They have much as cheap to access therefore like and reduce the price of the material. On this earth concrete can be processed more or less like standard concrete but it currently around half the cost.

That is why the United NationsEnvironment Program the unit provides advice and Financial Support for electric mobility in eastern africa.

And go on your Development Part that path requires pioneers like being located or risk or young and. The graduates of African Union busting gemini how to promote. Take feel ridiculous to fuel motorbikes in kampala and transform them into electric bikes. So all we remove is the petrol powered train petrol driven. Board and electric culture and so as you can see its the same bike fuel tank is empty of course. And what were put inside is mainly a controller and Electrical Solar electric motor. A battery as a source of power replacing the fuel tank. Some digital controls of throttle lithium ion batteries recovered from old laptops are assembled into Rechargeable Battery units for the e bay and the recycling loop continues even when the batteries become too weak to use in the e bay so what we do get in your batteries use it for your mobility. After that when they lose a bit of power we either put it we put it in Storage Systems like our. Power resolves one loses again that it up hour we go through tortures another small obligations before it goes through to be disposed. Delivery month france is still clear is one of the 20 drivers testing the transformed bikes. On average he has to return to bordeaux work twice a day to recharge. He runs the batteries for the event of less than 3 euros a day. All in all these is kind of hes operating costs by half but there is still one thing that bothers him.

There is still a long way to go. All right it was. Only a bit if you. Will. Or they live very this startup i saw 20 bikes so far. And they expect a to more within the next 2 months. Same boys are already creating employment sorrow tabel couldnt find a job for 2 years now shes in charge of marketing actually it makes me feel very very proud of myself that im contributing a lot to be part of the great team which is actually pressure beating. To immobility for a small fee of just over half a euro is them but driver can exchange and into battery for a fully charged 1. 00. This is important like some new green says the electricity comes from the solar energy on top of the companys beauty. Foremost charging points a plant in kampala stored. Energy generated within the country not like you which is imported from outside so this has a huge impact on the environment. And we were briefed. I see even 10 years you know if you want to cycle anymore in the world market its an Outdated Technology these Green Technology behind frances silkiest deliveries is a sign of hope in 2 ways providing for peoples needs in the local down and for clean the country once the pandemic is over.
