This young man is a true blessing to the world. I hope this soap helps to save many lives.
@@winterbeaches I agree! He inspires hope to humanity.
@@winterbeaches if he thinks ANY pharma company would make this for free, or as a nonprofit, he is sorely mistaken. If that was the case, why isn't every chemotherapy drug available for every kind of cancer free? Why is skin cancer so special, but other forms aren't special enough to be distributed for free? Who is going to pay for the R&D, and the mass production and distribution of the soap? He has good intentions, but has no idea about the real world just yet.
@vincentkingsdale8334 yeah, unless society itself changes with time, he's going to grow up very bitter and disappointed like many people that wanted the best for the world.
C’mon guys! No doubt those who made other scientific discoveries had many roadblocks as well. There are philanthropists like Bill Gates and other billionaires who might mentor and show him how to get funding in furthering his studies!❤
@@marjorjorietillman856 philanthropists like Bill Gates, lol... The same Gates who opposed poor countries being given access to COVID vaccine research?! Be real
As a former kid…I am impressed! Way to go!
😂
As a kid transitioning to an adult, I'm way impressed and wish he succeeds!
@@metmans 💫
As a human I am impressed
Kkkkkk
Young Ethiopian king. Keep shinning.
His mother Muluemebet is a teacher; his father Wondwossen is a human-resources specialist for the U.S. Agency for International Development. Dad is white
@partiallyhuman not that it matters, but that kid is definitely not mixed.
@@partiallyhuman Bro is the CEO of misinformation
@@MrTeacherDO "CEO of misinformation" please allow me to steal that from you cause it’s just too good 😂😂😂😂
@@partiallyhumanright 😭
This kid has a truly beautiful soul, genius mind and is a gift not just to Ethiopia or Africa but to the World. His best is yet to come.
So true!❤
how long before certain pharmaceutical companies come and un-alive this kid for messing with their bottom line? im sorry but lets get real.
You see that and that's the first thought that comes to your mind?
Not only is this young man a brilliant scientist, he's a naturally gifted communicator. Making highly complex, technical, jargon-heavy concepts clear, accessible, and easily understood is difficult-he made it look effortless ❤️💐💐💐❤️
Correct 💯. His articulation and communication skills surpass that of most "grown" professionals
Yeap. Great kid
Let’s pray God keeps him through the hate and roadblocks that are on his path
God’s gift 💝
And, to top it off, he has a good heart : he wants to help people more than he wants to get rich. Would that others would be that way, the entire world would change.
As an Ethiopian am very proud, like I have won a medal or something, I'm very proud you made such an achievement 🇪🇹🏆🏆😊
His mother Muluemebet is a teacher; his father Wondwossen is a human-resources specialist for the U.S. Agency for International Development. Dad is white
@@partiallyhuman No his Dad isn’t white. He’s Ethiopian.
@@mh6773 don't mind him. this boy is Ethiopian through and through
@@partiallyhuman he's fully ethiopian
@@partiallyhuman As your name, you are partially human 🤣🤣🤣
He has already saved generations of People he will never meet 💗
@@dr.100purrscent5
Wow, that gave me goosebumps ❤️
how long before certain pharmaceutical companies come and un-alive this kid for messing with their bottom line? im sorry but lets get real.
@@kodyscot9360 lets get real, this is a scam and this kid saved noone but got rewards for DEI...
@@kodyscot9360 this!
@@kodyscot9360 actually it's all a gimmick. He didn't discover anything. They already had the cream he just makes it into soap lol.
WOW. As a 4 X skin cancer victim, thank you!! OMG thank you!
Hope you're doing better now.
@@wryter93 Thank God!
@@sarabekela9419 This soap will help you & I'm thrilled for you! I pray you will be better now & forever Sara! 🌻
He is literally selling snake oil.
@@wryter93 my prayers and peace to you beloved 💙
Proud of you my Ethiopian 🇪🇹 brother 👍
@@itisi-yes nationality is not ethnicity
@@itisi-yeshe would be a proud Ethiopian for you if he was a robber or murderer, so let’s stop the bad faith
I felt that come back in my spirit. Sheesh. But very true, when you’re successful they tee it up to the “good image”.
Ethiopian is nationality but he is one of the tribe in ethiopia
His mother Muluemebet is a teacher; his father Wondwossen is a human-resources specialist for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Dad is white
Dear God, protect this child 🙏🏽.
🙏💚💛❤️👑😊
SO PROUD OF THIS YOUNG BLACK KING!
me too.
Black!
Actually, it's Ethiopian to be specific. Or African in general. Black is specific for Americans. It's unethical to steal others' identities.
@@kingsman1713 he lives in America. Your aunt will still clutch her purse in the elevator, he’s black.
Black people are smarter than other people. They’re better at music and sports too.
Father God, please protect your son, this young king. He’s so intelligent and articulates very well beyond his years. 🙏🏽❤️🔥
This is what we need in the world. More kids in science and technology. Greetings from Abyssinia, Ethiopia.
You’re an inspirational young scientist. Stay blessed !
This is such an acute reminder of why it's important to provide education world wide. There are so many children in impoverished nations who lack education who could invent the best next thing.
kinda funny he not even white
Please, please, PLEASE keep this kid safe.
A child shall lead us.
Well done young brother.
How can your heart not be full listening to and watching the genius of this young man? He's a blessing to our country and the world. Congratulations Heman!🥳 Thank you for your creation!!!🙏🏾❤️
Hemen Bekele! Remember that name! Great scientific mind! He his the future and what our world needs!! 🥰🥰🥰
So Proud of this kid💯
Little hope for the future 🙏
@@feddi7693 *man since he created something important at a very young age
This is probably the most inspirational thing that has ever turned up on my feed. I quit my chemistry major in college when I was just two courses away from completing it back in 2021. I was in my third year and it was an extremely stressful time because I was afflicted by seizures and was in debt because of America's wonderful health care system. I was caught up between working to get money to my bills and working on juggling my double major. I then decided to quit chem and graduated only with one major. 3 years later I am essentially free form seizures so I decided to go back to finish it. I've been second guessing myself and wonder if I'll be able to pull it off, then I saw this video and it had me feeling myself again. Imma get that degree in your honor a couple of years from now, then I'll come back to this comment to lyk how it went.
Yes! Rooting for you
You can do it!
Try and find Herman and talk to him about his journey. You seem to have connected to what YOU were meant to do, just like he has!
Groundbreaking scientist and innovator, musician, chess player, avid reader… all at 15! 🤴🏾 This young man is nothing short of exceptional. May he be blessed for all his days.
Great job the world needs a lot of smart kid's like you.
@@arefaynetareke8910 I agree with you 💯% very true 👍
kinda hard if i am dumb as a brick off the get go and need extra assistance to learn.
What an eloquent, smart, and inspirational young man. He has a bright future ahead of him. If this is what he's doing at 15 imagine how accomplished he's going to be after college. Love him.
Bravo young kmtic man doing our black ancestors in kmt proud 👊🏿💪🏿
You are appreciated Heman! What a well rounded, intelligent, humble young man! Thank you to the Bekele family, his teachers and mentors. So proud of you Heman!
Protect this young man at all cost.
@@niyofrancis1 from what/whom?
@@gideonterer7818 From big corporations who might steal his idea, cut him out of profits (which is not his motive)
@@gideonterer7818 you know from who...now is not the time to play dumb.
@@nottodaylilbaldhead could you fill me in please? its not obvious to me
@@gideonterer7818 the US pharmaceutical corporations
Not only brilliant but also compassionate, kind. What this world need more!! Bless you 🙏
He is GENIUS!!! And so well-balanced--he's got incredible social skills, insane intelligence....just a blessing to have on this earth!
Such a bright, kind-hearted young man.
As an Ethiopian, I'm so proud!! Great job Heman!!
What a brilliant young man may God protect him from every evil
He's Amazing, God Bless 🙌🏾
This is so inspiring! A good hearted person, curing cancer and playing the flute. God bless and protect Heman.
This is amazing! So proud of him. Our future is good hands.
So grateful for the upgraded, caring mindset that the new souls entering this planet are bringing with them. Fifty years ago, the genius and gift of this young man would have never been internationally praised and celebrated for obvious reasons. Today, because of those who in the past fought for him TO BE SEEN and CELEBRATED, this world just might have a fighting chance.
NOW, IT SHOULD BE AFFORDABLE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT!!!
It's not going to hit the market. The government's going to get get him before
Wow... This is incredible
Not trying to be the best and trying to balance life with all these great achievements is worth celebrating.
Congratulations 🎉
I thoroughly enjoyed this young man and the earnest way in which she thinks and speaks. It brought a smile to my face and reminded me that there is greatness in humanity thank you and congratulations young man!
I know there are constant tension among a few of the 80 different ethnic groups in Ethiopia, but Ethiopian immigrants here in US are very kind and hard working. Hope peace prevails.
Amen brother!! We’re praying for better days. 😢😢
🧢
Peopel love each other here in eth. Its Just the political elites driving us crazy playing identity politics.
@@dawitbekele6975no they don’t the country is collapsing and never should have existed
@@dawitbekele6975 how do you explain the hate speech and ethnic targeting in Addis against Tigrayns from 20-22? Please don’t lie
He makes all Ethiopians proud.
Bravo Heman for becoming a remarkable Kid to solve the world essential problem for human kind. It sures is a blessing to finding an Ethiopian. GOD Bless You Kid😊
Heman, I do not know you but, I am so proud of you, young man. Thank you from humanity. Please keep indulging your scientific curiosity and making this world a better place.
Congratulations Heman! You are so very inspirational! The whole world benefits when someone like you successfully thinks out of the box.
Glory be to God 🙏 🙏 🙏 for creating an innovative genius like you 🙌🙌🙌 As an Ethiopian 💚💛❤️ i feel immense pride to know your kind thoughtfulness led you to come up with a treatment for a serious world concern in a familiar household item like "Soap" 🧼 a reflection of your Humble upbringing that made you value Humanity so you prioritized on affordable and accessible Health care ⚕️ #Kudos 👏👏👏 Its time for Ethiopia to shine ✨✨✨ with you as a Gift to the Scientific World after many years later Professor Aklilu Lema came up with Bilharzia cure 🤗🤗🤗

What a lovable and smart young kid. I wish him the best.
Wonderful choice! This young man will do amazing things! Go Heman!
I am so inspired by him. Amazing work and so glad that he really enjoys the journey.
I am proud of this young black king. These are the stories that need to go viral and get in front of our youth 🙏🏾
Congratulations Heman!!! You deserve it.
My freaking mind is BLOWN. The kid is quite brilliant. Wow
Wow! So proud of you. Parents must be delighted to have intelligent and humble son. ❤
Finally, a breath of fresh air! Our communities need so much of this more mainstream 👏🏽
Congratulations, keep going, the possibilities are truly endless.
Brilliant, congratulations Heman Bekele!
Please please pray for this guy.
what a handsome and smart young man !! he greatly reminds me of Tutankhamun❤
The pharaoh who died young from a rare birth defect caused by inbreeding?
Who's tu😅whatever? Sorry the name is kind of too long for
@@fauzianalwoga he’s an ancient Egyptian king
What a wonderful soul with an intellect to match. Kudos to him and those investing in his growth and care.
Finally, good news coming out of the US!
Yay you and yay us. What a blessing to the world. Sweet child.
Congratulations to this BRILLIANT YOUNG SCIENTIST! He will be grifting the world with his brilliance and altruism.
Yes, but gifting
@@Kath1813 Yes! Gifting!
Way to Go! Heman! You are making us (Ethiopians) very proud! God bless you!
Eliza, african melanin
we need more of you👏big shout out from Ethiopia.
This is the focus and activities that teens in America Need. If more were doing this you would have Very few kids in prison. I applaud him and wish that our country’s children were as focused.
In America nobody cares if kids have enough food to eat so I don’t think we have the status to say what focus kids should have. Prison is for profit. There are many many shareholders out there who are very invested in getting many into prisons as they can. Why rehabilitate when it’s in the prison’s interest to get them back? We have a lot of work to do. Teens are doing their best to keep their heads above water. I’d give them a Lot More support before telling them what to focus on.
✨💜✨
@@commonsense571I care that’s why I made the comment. I’ve been a teen in an urban environment and seen generations of incarcerated people. We have got to do better. If people like him come here and make a way there is no excuse why more of us aren’t. Everyone can’t want to rap and play basketball. I know it’s pushed on us but as a Nation we can do better.
If we would stop fighting with one another and believing the nonsense politicians push, the average person could be better. This teen is an example of what could be
So proud of you brother. Greetings from home 🇪🇹
Amazing achievement and well deserved. Warmest congratulations.
Black Excellence !!! 👑👑👑
Nah. that kid is from Ethiopia, he's not AA or Black
@@LakshaDeirwa what is he? Yt?
@@LakshaDeirwalet’s learn to differentiate nationality from race. He is Ethiopian AND Black.
@@LakshaDeirwa black is black, whether you are American or African
@@LakshaDeirwa you can be BOTH, your petty low level comment won’t divide us. 💯
So proud pf Hemen bekele for representing the motherland 🇪🇹. More success & blessing a head. God bless you & ur family
Protect this child 🙏🏻
Lots of love for you!
love you bekele. what a handsome smart young boy!
This was fascinating and amazing to watch. This kid not only invented something to help and save people but he did it because he wanted to help others. He is an effective communicator who is also engaging. I wish nothing but the best for him. Way to go!
Very inspiring. more power to you kid
I hope they never chase him
Really proud and happy for this young man! A gift to mankind.
I am so in awe of this young man and pray he finds all the support he needs to solve many of the world’s problems! Congratulations to Heman and to his parents who raised such a marvelous person! ❤
Congrats! So genius and compassionate
💙🩵💙
I have mixed feelings about this. So amazing what he did and I'm proud of his kindness and intelligence, but I'm sure those who consider him a "DEI" hire will benefit from it and they shouldn't because they sure aren't working toward something to benefit the world, just only out to hurt it. Now imagine if this young man never had the heart or compassion to create this? This is how we make America great! This is how we make the world great! Caring and giving to others. This young man gave himself resulting in something everyone can benefit from. He saw a problem and worked toward a solution...AT 14!
@@mik7564 I don’t think anyone will consider him a DEI hire. To be honest, most amazing inventions these days are coming from kids in Africa or born in Africa. No one will think of him that way. He’s a genius. I’m more worried about big pharma trying to to not let people get his products. Some of the amazing things I’ve seen kids invent in Africa have never seen the light of day like being able to power a car with water etc and then you don’t hear about them again
@@C12341 America will claim him, until he has a failure or setback. Then a certain faction in the uS which is approx 40% of the population will be disparaging about race, internally or out loud. I hope this changes, but it’s been 400 years and we are moving backwards or people aren’t shy anymore. I am not making this about race, I’m stating facts I don’t like.
I think honesty in all our conversations and dealings is the only path forward - we might have a chance then.
@@AbsurdCats I agree with you. Our society is regressing not only in racism but in how women are treated. It’s a bizarre time to live through. I do hope we can collectively get more honest and deal with our past as well as why this is happening and move forward to a better future.
Such a positive inspiration. His parents must be so proud ❤
What a wonderful young man
Congratulations to this boy, just 15 but ahead of many adults. Kinda wild took so long to make. Crazy. Congrats
We just PROUD of you🎉
Such a kind young man as well not just smart. He uses his craft to help people. What a treasure.
