KEYNOTE SPEAKER
​​David Fahnbulleh
David fled war in Liberia at age 7. He arrived in the U.S. at 11, having completed only the first grade. This May, he's graduating from Purdue University with an engineering job awaiting him in Chicago.

RefugeeOne welcomed more than 1,600 refugees in the last 3 years - nearly half were children. Join us to hear David share his story and to meet more young refugees with amazing futures ahead.
