Young Egyptian activist Yassin Zoghby, 18, participated in the World Youth Forum in Sharm El-Sheikh with his documentary "Mailing Address" that delivered the struggle of refugees and their problems across the world.

He was known for his famous tour from Cairo to Ain Shokhna on his bicycle. That would be normal – except for the fact that he lost a leg in an accident six years ago. While snorkeling in the Red Sea, Zoghby was hit by a boat, leading to the loss of one of his legs and serious damage to one of his arms. Yet his passion for bicycles grew and never faded away.

In the documentary, Zoghby traveled across the world and spoke with young people in different countries. There are 65.6 million refugees in the world. Those people were forced to leave their homes because of wars and armed conflicts.

Zoghby is determined to redefine disabilities and spark a glimmer of hope in all the Egyptian youth to see beyond their obstacles.
