Abir Elkhalqi
Age 20 – Morocco
My name is Abir and I am 20 years old. I live in Italy but I am from Morocco. I study but I also work in a company, in the marketing department. In my city I am the representative of Muslim youths in Italy.
I always had a dream: to bring peace in countries where there isn’t and to bring smiles to the lives of the people that can’t smile.
I am working with various associations at local and national levels, such as “Islamic Relief ” non-profit association known worldwide .
Last year I participated in the first Youth World Peace Forum in Cairo (Egypt) with more than one thousand youths coming from 28 different countries. It was the best experience of my life . This Forum opened my mind, my heart and my soul to a deep meaning of Peace, with a new commitment to live day by day.
Peace for me is to see sincere smiles on the faces of people who come from different realities.
