Toomaj Salehi risks being hanged after the conviction on the Shariah charge of "corruption on Earth" by a Revolutionary Court
During a tour that will see Peter meet with leading politicians, business leaders and philanthropists, he will set those in power a "science challenge" to help Africa's youth solve the vast, urgent problems on their own doorstep: from climate change and drought to food insecurity and disease prevention.
"It is not enough for western governments and companies to provide aid to alleviate the hardships faced in the Global South. They must also help Africa produce homegrown scientific talent who will come up with fresh solutions from fresh perspectives that can only be cultivated at the coalface."
Tabichi leads by example by giving away 80 per cent of his salary to the poor in his community and he was this year appointed the first Champion for Children in Conflicts and Crisis for Education Cannot Wait, the global fund for education in crisis.
Tabichi will meet with Google and YouTube at the Googleplex and earlier spoke to Facebook, Cisco, Quizlet and EdCast at their offices.
Peter teaches at Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School in Pwani Village, situated in a remote, semi-arid part of Kenya's Rift Valley. Here, students from a host of diverse cultures and religions learn in poorly equipped classrooms. Their lives can be tough in a region where drought and famine are frequent. Ninety-five percent of pupils hail from poor families, almost a third are orphans or have only one parent, and many go without food at home. Drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, dropping out early from school, young marriages and suicide are common.
