Deborah Henry is Miss Universe Malaysia 2011, and a refugee rights advocate who has been involved in helping refugees since 2008. Her concern lies in the issue of access to education for refugee children while they are seeking protection in Malaysia. She has helped set up a learning center for Somali refugee children and youths in Kuala Lumpur, and is currently expanding this to adult learning for Somali refugee women.

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.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
