Background:

Born & raised in Waterloo, Ontario, Dr. Abdel-Rahman Lawendy has not only become a role model for many Canadian doctors and humanitarians, but also an advocate for peace and human rights. At age 19, he travelled to war-torn Sarajevo as a United Nations volunteer. At age 21, he cycled across Canada to raise awareness and more than $20,000 for the Bosnian relief effort. 

More recently, Dr. Lawendy has travelled to war-torn Gaza during the latest crisis and was part of the international medical volunteer team who worked at a local Gaza hospital. He was able to document and chronicle many of the events. Currently, he is travelling to various campuses to share his experiences and provide a first hand humanitarian account from a medical perspective, continuing to promote his message about the importance of peace and power of people to effect change. 

This event is organized by Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR)-University of Ottawa.
