And that can only happen with love, support, and remembering that all of us, at any time, face the possibility of misfortune.<\/p>\n<p>Born in 1987 to second-generation Palestinian parents, Chaker Khazaal \u2013 author, speaker, reporter, and Huffington Post contributor \u2013 grew up in Bourj el-Barajneh refugee camp, in his host country Lebanon, during the Lebanese Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>With patience, persistence and a sense of hope, he applied for a university scholarship in any country he was allowed to enter while holding a Travel Document for Palestinian Refugees. When Canada reached out, it set in motion a chain of events beyond his wildest imagination.<\/p>\n<p>At seventeen years of age, he was honored with the prestigious Global Leader of Tomorrow Award from Toronto\u2019s York University, acknowledging his strong academic standing and leadership skills. Now a citizen \u2013 a dream come true \u2013 Chaker Khazaal is proud to call Canada home.<\/p>\n<p>Having experienced first-hand the humiliation of \u2018displacement,\u2019 Chaker is a strong advocate for refugees, and aspiring writers from all countries. Not one to forget his heritage, he has traveled to camps throughout the Middle East, speaking to refugees living in conflict zones. Expanding awareness through education and subsequent employment for refugees, his novels and articles humanize external conflicts. He enjoys capitalizing on strategic opportunities. \u201cWork hard and where you once felt displaced, take the time to explore avenues that make you feel welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A savvy communicator, he has spoken at a number of platforms including United Nations Headquarters, HuffPost Live, Google San Francisco, msnbc\u2019s Road Map, International Youth Conference (Bahrain), and the launch of the 8th Arab Youth Survey. Addressing global displacement, Chaker\u2019s powerful messages focus on the rise of terrorist acts, the ongoing unrest in the Middle East, and the importance of giving opportunities to the youth. He also speaks on other topics like social media and the process of writing.<\/p>\n<p>His highly anticipated interviews, books, and articles reach an international audience.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2015, Chaker was named Esquire Man of the Year at Man At His Best Awards held in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chakerkhazaal.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.chakerkhazaal.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lessons in Life from a War Child with Chaker Khazaal Aired Thursday, 11 August 2016, 7:00 PM ET Regardless of our race, culture, creed, or where in the world we live, all humans have one thing in common: we all face the possibility of having to face a misfortunate or tragic event in our lives.
