Ollantaytambo TiNi- Lakeside School http://www.lakesideschool.org/body/programs/GSL/GSLUpperSchoolProjects.htm,

Facing the Future Curriculum: http://www.facingthefuture.org/ . Contact Dave Wilton dave@facingthefuture.org

Words from Lakeside Graduate: Bill Gates � …Should our best minds be dedicated to solving our biggest

problems? Should ____ encourage its faculty to take on the world’sworst inequities? Should ___ students learn about the depth ofglobal poverty … the prevalence of world hunger … the scarcity of clean water …the girls kept out of school … the children who die from diseases we can cure?

� Should the world’s most privileged people learn about the lives ofthe world’s least privileged?

� Take on an issue – a complex problem, a deep inequity, and become a specialist on it. If you make it the focus of your career, that would be phenomenal. But you don’t have to do that to makean impact. For a few hours every week, you can use the growingpower of the Internet to get informed, find others with the sameinterests, see the barriers, and find ways to cut through them.

� I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world’s deepest inequities … on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but theirhumanity...

Lakeside will celebrate 8 years in Ollantaytambo in June, 2009
