National Museum, Edinburgh, Scotland

National Museum of Scotland - besides works of art and other things worth preserving, it hosts also receptions such as opening dinner of TEDGlobal 2011 event. Worth preserving in memory.

Sentayehu Seifu Bedework - TEDxAddis organizer, born and raised in Addis Ababa, moved around, lived in Dublin, Lyon, Nice, also worked in hospital, now mostly for IT companies as a computer science graduate, practices Taekwondo, does not read much, but watches lots of TED Talks and is determined to one day abolish poverty. For good.

Ajit Sharma (with plastic champaign) - grew up in Jaipur, roots in Punjab, has MBA from University of Pune, was active in AIESEC in India, Romania and Poland, worked for DHL and now at AWC Industries, plays guitar, used to have a band, organizes TEDx events, is reading SuperFreakonomics and will one day help kick-start school drop-outs with money, coaching and motivation - not unlike CNN Hero Hill Harper.

Back rows at TED event. Keyboard addicts. Serving eager crowds.
