Eboo Patel

Eboo Patel is an Indian man who grew up in America through his childhood. As a kid he refused to have anything to do with the Indian culture, language, food , and tradition. One day when he went to the gym their were 3 basketball games going on. He noticed that the games were separated by nationality, there was an asian, black and white game. This made him realize that his whole life he's played on the white team, he had almost become part of the American race. He realized that he had lost a very important part of him, his Indian nationality, he had lost a part of his identity.

Patel created an organization called Interfaith Youth Core Organization which helps bring together and connect all different kids from different parts of the world.
