Waleed Khan
Member of the United Kingdom Youth Parliament and Survivor of the Peshawar attack
Five years after surviving the world’s fourth deadliest school massacre, Khan is a student in the United Kingdom, where he relocated in order to receive essential medical treatment for the injuries he sustained in the siege of his school. He has undergone more than a dozen surgeries to date but is resolutely focused on the future while studying for his General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams, serving as a member of the United Kingdom Youth Parliament after being elected by all of the schools in Birmingham. Even more remarkably, he is making it his mission to spread a message of peace while offering help and hope to children affected by terrorism, poverty, hunger and other obstacles.
