 Namaste, I'm Anand from India. You can smile at him. This is Nelson Mandela. I'm deeply influenced and inspired by the acts of Nelson Mandela. For various reasons, I think, but coming from Africa, it's a little so tall as Mandela to emerge with thoughts and ideals that he lived by when he was imprisoned, incarcerated for 26 years in prison. And to have the courage to come out of prison and say, we need peace and love rather than to raise a finger and say, let's get revenge. It takes a lot of character. Hey, my name is Alice. I'm from Canada. My hero is not the company Facebook, but the COO of Facebook, which is Cheryl Sandberg. She was also the previous vice president at Google. She's my hero because she wrote one of my favorite books called Lean In, where she poses the question of, what would you do if you were not afraid? And that is essentially what all of us students at IHE Delft are doing now by having the courage to come to another country to pursue our masters and to have a seat at the table and lean in into the global conversation about water. My name is Leman, Joseph from Nigeria, and my specialization is sanitary engineering. And my hero is Mahatma Gandhi, who is famous for modest lifestyle and clean habits. This is one of his famous quotes. Sanitation is more important than independence. And you can see the simplicity of my work. It's replicated in his kind of lifestyle. And I draw up so much inspiration from his habits. And I come from a region with a lot of sanitation challenges. And I find this quite inspiring from his life. And I draw up on that inspiration to solve sanitation challenges in Nigeria. Hello, my name is Patricia. I come from Peru. My hero is Marino Morikawa. He's a Peruvian-Japanese scientist. And he has revived some polluted wetlands in our country. He used nanotechnology for that. What inspires me from him is that he doesn't expect external help. But he worries about being a change agent. And being an example for others. Hello. I'm Dalcacho. I'm from Ethiopia. I'm studying water science and engineering, specialization. And I work in engineering at the river basin development. My hero for today is the Peruvian-Tedros second. He showed Ethiopia in the year of 1855 up to 1868. We consider him as a national hero. He's the founder of modern Ethiopia. He's also the founder of the first African industrial village known as Gafat. The most important lesson that can learn from this king is that during his regime, or before his regime, the one that comes to power was the royal family. But he came from a low income family and he achieved his dream. Therefore the important lesson is that to achieve your dream you don't have to come from the royal family, but rather you need to have a good vision so that you can achieve that. My name is Cristóbal. I'm from Chile. My hero is a military hero of the aboriginal people. It's called Mapuches. This is Lautaro, or Keleftaro in original language. He's a warrior that when he was a child, was kept napped for the conquest. And they learned everything about the conquest. And then when he grew up, escaped, they lead a war against the conquest and we win. And they kill the leader of the conquest. It's a symbol for our people. It's a symbol of resistance. It's a symbol of fight. And that's the reason that I always say Chileans never surrender because Mapuches never surrender. That's my hero. My heroine is my mother. She really inspires me. My dad died 16 years ago and my mom was not a widow with five children, but she didn't allow her circumstance to stop her from giving us a good education. So as it is now, I'm the first female child in my bloodline to finish a university education. And then my siblings, four of them old boys, they are all graduates from the university. So my mom's life has really inspired me. She didn't allow anything to stop her from achieving what she wants to achieve. And then so far growing up with my mother and my siblings I've discovered that there is nothing that can really stop you from achieving your dream. You just put a hard work with patience and trust in God. Whatever dream you have, you can achieve it. Andrem Lopez from Colombia. This is a Greek god. It's called Atlas. He can support the world. Supposedly, this is me, but what you can see is not like me. But it's only symbolical. He can support the world. He can be supported by all my family. My family and all the members of my family are supporting me. They are the real inspiration. They are my heroine. Then I can be strong if my family are strong. They are my heroine. Hello, my China. I'm studying sustainable urban water management. And I make a man. This is the unit of current. And this is Omega. He is my physics teacher when I was in my middle school. He inspired me, and he made me be aware of the importance of studying. Without him, I think I have come to IHE. And not only the physics, but also he makes me to study other subjects well. I love him. My name is Mumba. I'm from Zambia. I'm studying water management and governance. This here is my beautiful mother, my hero. She taught me that being a woman doesn't mean you can't achieve anything in life. It's actually an opportunity for you to make a difference in whichever future you are. So I hope to make a difference. A difference in the water sector. Hello, namaste. My name is Binay. And I'm from Nepal. I'm here to study and I'm a student in hydraulic engineering and river basin development. And my father has graduated in 1995. As you can see, my dad, he is my hero. And he is the one who I have to follow his steps to achieve my goal. From this reputed institution, IHE Delford in the Netherlands. One day I'll make him proud and he will be my hero. Hello, everyone. I'm Yang Shena. And from China, this is my heroes. I show this is some flowers and roses. And in my home garden, there are lots of flowers like roses and other kind of flowers. And I hardly stay at home. So I hope these flowers can accompany my mom and be together with her. So when I see these flowers and especially when I face some troubles or difficulties, I always remind that these flowers can encourage me to always think about my family. Namaste. I'm Chitis Gautam from Nepal, studying hydroponetics here at IHE Delford. My inspiration are my people, countrymen. So they are as calm as the Mount Everest. And they share different cultures. They have different cultures. We have 123 languages, but the common language is water. So they all are based upon water. And we know quite well how to utilize our resources. But we are a bit unpredictable. So I'm here studying hydroponetics so that those water resources could be made predictable by the data science. Hello, my name is Victor and I'm from Nicaragua. I'm studying hydroponetics and my hero is music. From all parts in life, I've always been involved with music. And I think it's some integral part in my life. And I believe that everyone should have a balance between arts and science. I think for me, playing guitar and singing is a compliment for studying hydroponetics. Hi, my name is Mary Elizabeth Molly Torello. I'm from the United States of America and I'm studying water supply engineering. And my hero is my dog. He doesn't take life very seriously. He's always happy every day and he loves the water.
