Many Lebanese find themselves torn between two countries. They leave in search for a better life, but their hearts still long for their homeland. Kamal El-Hage is a young expat, studying and working abroad. Through this passionate talk, he intends to show his audience how he builds his own connection between France and Lebanon, and how they can do so too if they ever find themselves in a similar situation.

At the age of 12, his "make a change" journey began. Kamal El-Hage, originally from Lebanon, is now a student in one of the finest chemical engineering schools in France and is on his way to becoming a certified member in the worldwide leadership program: the John Maxwell’s Team. Influential, motivational and inspirational, his goal is to embrace people as much as he can in order to empower them to meet a higher purpose. As Kamal always says: “Impossible is a word, not a fact.”

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
