Elected President of the United States in 1992 and again in 1996, Bill Clinton left office determined to continue his life of service -- to build the kind of world he wants to hand down to his daughter. His William J. Clinton Foundation is focused on four critical areas: health security, with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS; economic empowerment; leadership development and citizen service; and racial, ethnic and religious reconciliation. Foundation projects include working with pharmaceutical companies to lower the costs of medicines to needy areas, and, through his Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI), developing an innovative health care system that can be successful and sustainable throughout the developing world. His Clinton Global Initiative brings together world leaders to discuss the world's most pressing challenges.Thanks so : http://www.ted.com/ ( less )

The Kayapó Nation is composed of indigenous Indians living in the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon forest is increasingly threatened by deforestation caused by fires burning massive areas for agriculture production. Logging, gold mining, and dam construction are other serious threats. Because deforestation is one of the leading causes of climate change, not only does this loss threaten the survival of many indigenous communities such as the Kayapó, it impacts people the world over. Often called the "lungs of the earth," tropical forests help stabilize climate by absorbing the carbon dioxide. The destruction of forests is the second largest source of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Source: http://www.conservation.org/Pages/default.aspx ( less )

It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years. Shot in Ethiopia, New York, and Kenya, the film explores the modern world's untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature and how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond.

Alicia Keys: "Prelude to a Kiss" The opening number of the night came courtesy of Keys' third album, 2007's As I Am. The song was written, produced and arranged entirely by the New York-bred singer. The piano-driven number struck a perfect introduction to foreshadow the night's activities. "Sometimes I feel so heavyhearted," Keys sang with visceral emotion. "But I can't explain, 'cause I'm so guarded/ But that's a lonely road to travel/ And a heavy load to bear." Footage of a Haitian baby crying added depth to the poignant performance. "Can you send an angel?" she sang, as if she were pleading to heaven on the chorus. Stars flock to telethon to raise money for Haiti quake victims.
