Solutions and people needed to address the most pressing challenges facing Humanity.

On behalf of Empowerment Works, The Global Summit 2012 organizing team and the
communities that we serve, we look forward to your collaboration in nothing less than
creating a new social impact legacy in Olympic history.

Thank you for being part of it,
