Hi everyone!
I hope your quarter has been going well. We are excited to let you know about an upcoming speaker, Teddy Warria. He will be giving two talks this Friday, the 20th. The details are below. We will also be having lunch with him and would like to have about 5 general body members come. It will be a brown bag lunch from 12:30-1:30, location TBA. If you are interested, please RSVP to this address and we will take the first 5 respondents. We hope to see you at one or all of these events! If you have any questions please let me know.

Discussion: Holistic International Development with Q&A

10:00 – 11:30 AM
Jennings Hall 140
Teddy will provide a candid reflection of global health challenges and how it has personally affected him, Kenya, and the world. He will also discuss the passion he has to reverse the spread of malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB through strengthening health care systems in Kenya. He will also talk about New Horizons Initiative, a non-profit organization he has founded to help him achieve this goal in Kenya.
Lecture: Ending Extreme Poverty Through Social Ventures
Friday, November 20th
3:30 – 4:30 PM
Jennings Hall 155
In this talk, Teddy will introduce and contextualize the broader problem of development and sustainability. He will use New Horizons Initiative, his own non profit, and Acumen Fund as case studies.

Teddy is an ambitious young activist and a Kenyan social entrepreneur who founded New Horizons Initiative, Inc. and Common Vocabulary: Shared understanding for global health Project, where he has had the opportunity to work with such luminaries as Jeffrey Sachs, Bill Clinton, and Matthew McConaughey. His life objective is to stimulate systemic and long-term change in Africa through education, strategic philanthropy, global social entrepreneurship, communications, sustainable tropical health, and institution building.
