“The
foundation’s mission is to improve quality of life for the world’s
poorest people. This is a complex challenge, and solving it will require
a range of approaches as well as the collaboration of governments,
NGOs, academic institutions, for-profit companies and philanthropic
organizations.”
“Governments
are uniquely positioned to provide the leadership and resources
necessary to address structural inequalities and ensure that the right
solutions reach those most in need. The private sector has access to
innovations – for example, in science, medicine and technology – that
can save lives.”
“In all
of our work – whether helping women access life-saving prenatal care or
ensuring that small holder farmers can produce enough food to feed
their families – partners guide our priorities and approach. We listen
to experts and practitioners and take action based on evidence.”
—Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

“I
beg young people to travel. If you don’t have a passport, get one. Take
a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok,
go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some
interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you’re
going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your
president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food,
water. Your showers will become shorter. You’re going to get a sense of
what globalization looks like. It’s not what Tom Friedman writes about;
I’m sorry. You’re going to see that global climate change is very real.
And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for
four buckets of water. And so there are lessons that you can’t get out
of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A
lot of people—Americans and Europeans—come back and go, Ohhhhh. And the
light bulb goes on.”
– Henry Rollins

Think deeply about things. Don’t just go along because that’s the way things are or that’s what your friends say. Consider the effects, consider the alternatives, but most importantly, just think.
