Juan Luis Guerra Dominican musician Juan Luis Guerra is known for his universal approach to life. He has shared the stage with such international acts as Sting, Chiara Chivello and the Rolling Stones, sung in a myriad of languages (including the little-known Ar- awak, spoken by the now-extinct Taino natives of Hispa- nola) and established his own foundation. He not only respects the world’s cultures, but embraces them.

Maná As United Nations Goodwill Ambassadors and founders of the Selva Negra Foundation, members of the Mexican rock group Maná have made it their mission to be musi- cians with a message. These superstar rockers promote the importance of awareness of environmental issues, human rights and world hunger.

OPENING REMARKS 2008 PODER PHILANTHROPY FORUM

Four prominent leaders set the stage for a full day of engaging conversation. Emilio Azcárraga, Chairman, PODER Philanthropy Forum, and Chairman/ CEO, Grupo Televisa, discussed the importance of regional philanthropy. Miami Mayor Manuel A. Diaz reviewed the role of a city in charity efforts. Bill Emmott, President, PODER Phi- lanthropy Forum, and retired Editor- in-Chief of The Economist, spoke on the power of philanthropy and set the tone for the day. And Justin Rockefell- er, co-founder of Generation Engage, revealed how philanthropy requires an “architecture of inspiration” that spans the generations, crosses bor- ders, transcends wealth—and can re- invent regional philanthropy.

AS WE TRY TO PUZZLE OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE CAN DO TO MAKE THE WORLD A LITTLE BIT SAFER, A LITTLE BIT FAIRER, AND A LITTLE BUT MORE JUST. STRATEGIC PHILANTHROPY IN THE HEALTH ARENA - Larry Brilliant, CEO Google.org

Healthcare delivery across the Americas— and the globe—is hotly debated between patients, providers, politicians and policy makers. Funding cutbacks slice services, even as the threat of disease, hunger, obe- sity and pandemics loom large. Private philanthropy and volunteering alone never will solve these issues. But in this discus- sion moderated by Bill Emmott, President, PODER Philanthropy Forum, panelists George Church, PhD, from Harvard Medi- cal School, and Dr. Larry Brilliant, CEO, Google.org, addressed how philanthropy can be a catalyst, consensus builder and change agent. “The patient should get the best care, whether they’re at Sloan-Ketter- ing or in Guatemala, Africa or Calcutta,” added panelist Patrick Soon-Shiong, MD. Now, the global healthcare complex must develop the will to deliver.

MOGULS TRADE SUCCESS - Ann Veneman, Executive Director, UNICEF FOR GLOBAL CHANGE

Fame and popular media can be power- ful tools to encourage philanthropy. Emilio Azcárraga, President and CEO, Grupo Televisa, explored how from UNICEF’s first forays into celebrity endorsement in the 1950s, entertainers, millionaires and me- dia tycoons today can channel their pros- perity and prominence to motivate others to take an active role in charity and volun- teerism. From compelling documentaries and TV programming that drives thou- sands to action, to efforts to stop human trafficking, participants discussed the in- fluence of the spotlight that often follows them—and how they balance fame with the desire to sometimes work “under the radar.” Said actor and filmmaker Diego Luna, “We’re all responsible and we have to start right now.”

There is a place where Colombia touch- es both sky and sea. Flora and fauna as unique as the indigenous Kogi, Wiwa, Arhuaco and Kakuamo peoples once thrived here. Yet all are in peril. Known as the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Heart of the World, a changing cli- mate is transforming this place. Three Mamas, guardians of this sacred land, spoke of forests lost, streams gone dry, animals no longer seen—and the strug- gle to raise awareness and money to save a truly unique ecosystem. Respect and care is needed for what “mother has given us,” they said. “This is the only way to maintain the natural order in the Sierra Nevada and to guarantee that the universe stays in balance.”

Education and society are at a cross- roads: The need for basic and higher education are critical to create a com- petitive, 21st Century economy.

IMMIGRANTS: THE UNACKNOWLEDGED PHILANTHROPISTS

As debates unfold on immigration’s im- pact, one point is irrefutable: Immigrants may be different givers than their hosts— but they give nonetheless. Moderated by Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, panelists discussed how Latino philanthropy often is local—improving schools, roads, com- munity groups and the family’s quality of life, compared to the high-profile giving more common in the U.S. Improved tax laws in the region could encourage more giving by the wealthy, yet the working class will continue to give. “If they can’t financially, they give back in volunteer hours or sweat and blood,” panelist Mon- ica Lozano said. Whether through million- dollar checks or wire-transfers, the ability to touch and encourage others remains central to effective fundraising.

48 PODER PHILANTHROPY ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY: BRIDGING THE TECHNOLOGY GAP

What if every child in the developing world received a $100 laptop? A computer whose hand-crank would generate its meager two watts of power, its screen could be seen in bright daylight, and which would allow kids to read, play, learn and talk to one anoth- er? That was Nicholas Negroponte’s vision. One Laptop Per Child (www.laptop.org) has shipped more than 250,000 comput- ers. But it has never been about the lap- tops. It’s been about children and learning. “Education is the primary element of the solution to any big problem, whether it’s peace, eliminating poverty, the environ- ment. It’s for children to gain and at least keep a passion for learning. And just be deeply involved in their education. That’s what’s key.”

“The world and life have been mighty good to me. And I want to put something back.” - TED TURNER, CNN FOUNDER THE POWER OF MEDIA. PRESS COVERAGE

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT PHILANTHROPY DOES NOT EXIST IN A VACUUM. For their efforts, philanthropists often receive kudos—not the least of which come from the media. One such example was the PODER Philanthropy Forum. The event received extensive media coverage throughout the region for its thoughtful and pro- vocative discussions on giving that supports academia, culture, healthcare, the environment and medicine, and its efforts to instill the spirit of giving across the Americas. Outlets spanned consumer and business print, Internet, radio and tele- vision media across 15 countries, including Buenos Aires Económico; Exame magazine in Brazil; La Segunda, El Mercurio and La Tercera in Chile; El Universal in Mexico; La Prensa in Panama; Expansión in Spain; and the Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald in the U.S. Stories also ran in Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Puerto Rico, Sal- vador and Venezuela. Though its treatment by government and people varies by country, the media’s coverage helped awaken issues of social responsibility across the hemisphere. PRESS COVERAGE
