us Khouri - Gallaudet Student Bound for Bosnia

[Guest guest]

Gallaudet student is bound for Bosnia

Gallaudet senior us Khouri has been chosen to attend this year's Youth,

Development and Peace Conference, taking place Sept. 5-7, 2004, in Sarajevo,

Bosnia-Herzegovina.

According to organizers, the conference brings together youth from 150

nations " to discuss how youth organizations and the World Bank could best

work together for poverty eradication and promoting development at all

levels: advocacy, knowledge and operations. "

A native of Jordan, Khouri sees this conference as a unique learning

experience. " Instead of saying what I know about the world around me, I'm

going to listen to other people's experiences and opinions because we share

the same goals, " he said. " There are other people with disabilities that are

going there as well, and they hold the same goal: to create a change in the

social standards that people with disabilities face in developing countries

today. "

Khouri, who currently majors in international relations, credits Gallaudet

for instilling in him the drive to affect change. He specifically thanks

students Staci Paisley and Adamo, and staffer Amy , for their

help in preparing for the conference.

" Now that I have the privilege of attending this university, I have

dedicated myself to working and contributing to the worldwide awareness of

the unique needs and potential of disabled individuals in the developing

world, " he said. " After I graduate, I would like to start to work for an

organization that does this kind of work. I have worked in orphanages and

handicap centers for children and just being there, you really want to help

these people. I know they have as much potential as any other person. "
