Gabrielle's life changed after becoming a foster carer for a terminally ill child. This experience taught her a valuable lesson about turning weakness into strength and has resulted in her establishing the first Humming Bird House.

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)
