This week's guest Wali Khan had to leave home at 7 years old to escape the Taliban. He relocated to the UK with his mum and brother.
A few years later he found himself at a hospital in Birmingham meeting two boys his age from back home in Swat Valley, Pakistan. Their sister Malala had been shot in the head by the Taliban and was being treated at the hospital in Birmingham.
The boys became friends and shared many of the same challenges growing up and being educated in a country far from home. They have started a unique project together called 'The Last Neanderthals' using the power of Web 3.0 to build a global community around the power of education, the power of possibility.
This is Wali's story.
