Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

But do read An Imperfect Offering: Humanitarian Action in the Twenty-First Century (2008) by James Orbinski, former President of Doctors without Borders who accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on its behalf in 1999. He'll tell you that the countries that humanitarian organizations seek toi aid deliberaly choke off that aid, even if it means the deaths of hundreds of thousands of their own people. There's also a film teling the same story, but it would be much more difficult to get your hands on.

Debate? In the countries where they already have a history of drying fish for better storage and transport, this foundation could help them update their aquaculture practices. Woods Hole Oceanographic and Marine Biology Lab are doing great things with periphyton in Haiti - Hillary's husband Bill is involved in Haiti - do what works instead of glorifying debate, debate, debate.

BRILlIANT.

I am working on Medical Facility Infrastructure in the developing world! I started a little non-profit Medical Facility Aid. I currently working on some projects in Ethiopia! Check out a little donor video I did for my projects... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKacNJY3lsE
So much to do in the world.. Thank God for the Gates Foundation!

Optimism is a great thing!

Bill belated Happy Birthday! I wish You can build a civic center here in Bacolod City. A center buzzling with research on all fields of interest. Information Tech., Medecine, Agriculture, Education, Business, Religion, Culture, hand made Craft products and seminar/workshops on all issues of life.

A center filled with library of books. Research ... Read Morelab. Computer rooms. Audio-visual rooms. Sports Facilities. Convention Halls, Shops and Show rooms to showcase the products and the results these courses has produced and achieved.

Hostel Rooms for guest from other countries or special guest like you and Melinda. A place even for the elderly who would l like to make a visit. A place object permanent that will last our life time. That is my vision for my place here in Bacolod. None ever has been that someone has envisioned such a place. No such place exist in this part of the world. YMCA can come in and make it even more worthwhile.

This global health initiative is one of the best, most genuine global effort in history of humanity.

It's wonderful that I am accepted to optimistic webcast presentation, and all the MBA prospersity, and the culture diversity walk backward, and bluemountain blue butterfly high tech blowing out on the air.

Aids research should continually be encouraged...at least till this monster can be fought hands down. Go to some part of Africa and see how it is ravishing the communities.

well done.

i know the Milleniun development funds mean good but i also belive there has to be supervission of the projects they are funding 'cause in the end in countries like mine (El Salvador C.A.) a large percentage of the funds are actually stolen or missused it is a shame but it's also a reality

Yeah, that is totally where it's at. Nutrition is key for good health. Fresh food is the best source. I had a dream to have Organic Farms accross America, a place where people could come and pick stuff themselves for less money.

Even though how an organization or a foundation that is asking for grants may appear reliable, check and balance can only be ensured through proper accounting procedures. Stewardship of money is what defines the meaning and worth of Charity. Charity without accountability is irresponsible investment.

If we stop people from dying of malaria, what will they die of then???

Join our CAUSE. Help the poor and indigent children and uplift their moral values. Teach these children to become a responsible individual and protect their human rights. Develop their skills and talents. DON'T LET THESE CHILDREN'S TO BE RECRUITED BY THE BAD ELEMENTS OF THE SOCIETY. Will SAVE and HELP this CHILDREN'S TODAY! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=143172853706
