The BVOR Speakers Series is proud to host Hassan Al Kontar, a former refugee from Syria who captured the world's attention after being stranded in Kuala Lumpur International Airport for over 7 months. In his talk, Hassan will share his journey as a refugee, the challenges he faced, and how he overcame them. He will also discuss his advocacy work on behalf of refugees around the world and his belief in the power of storytelling to promote empathy and understanding. This is a unique opportunity to hear from a resilient and inspiring individual who has overcome extraordinary circumstances. Join us for an insightful and thought provoking evening with Hassan Al Kontar
