Barbara is a member of UNICEF's Next Generation Steering Committee and is on the Board of Directors for Covenant House International.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBrooklyn, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBrooklyn event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

  • Hola

  • This is why countries like China are investing heavily in Africa's infrastructure. This health group movement is just a way of candy coating what big corporations and countries like China really want. Especially since large aquifers of fresh water were discovered under the majority of Africa. This pretty much disgusts me and I'm sure this Barbara has no idea what she's gotten herself into. If she does then she's no better than these corporations. It's all about money and greed!

  • Emily looks like that woman that was kidnapped a few months ago. Not sure though. Great idea though, send pretty women to shit holes around the world so they can be kidnapped and raped. Trying to help people that don't want to be helped. In addition, we have to increase the health condition of these poor individuals so that big corporations will have slave labor to work in their sweat shops. This is why you got your 250,000 bucks..sorry, truth hurts. Africa is the next big commercial market.
