In 1987,
Anne
Firth
Murray
had the
idea
that
funding
should
go to
grassroots
women's
organizations
around
the
globe
and that
the
recipients
themselves
should
decide
how to
use that
money.
From
that
idea,
The
Global
Fund for
Women
was
born.
The
organization
became a
major
force
for good
in the
world,
embodying
a new
paradigm
of
philanthropy.
In her
book, Paradigm
Found,
she
shares
her
wisdom,
offering
guidelines
that
demonstrate
how
anyone
can turn
a clear
vision
of a
better
world
into
reality.
The
founding
president
of the
Global
Fund for
Women,
Ms.
Murray
serves
on the
boards
and
advisory
groups
of
several
social
change
organizations
and is a
consulting
professor
at
Stanford
University.

We Are All
the Same A Story of a
Boy's Courage
and a Mother's
Love
Africa's
challenge with
HIV/AIDS

Main Hall Auditorium, Room 168
From one
of
America's
best
known
newsmen
comes a
heart
lifting
story of
the
resilience
of the
human
spirit
in the
face of
the
worst
conceivable
tragedy.
Born
into
poverty
in a
South
African
shantytown,
Nkosi
Johnson
entered
the
world
infected
with
HIV. He
was
given
only a
few
years to
live.
But his
ailing
mother
managed
to cross
her
country's
chasm of
race and
class
and find
Nkosi a
new home
and a
foster
mother
who
stubbornly
believed
that
every
child's
life is
important.
Before
he died
at the
age of
twelve,
Nkosi
had
become---in
Nelson
Mandela's
words---"an
icon of
the
struggle
for
life"
for
millions
in
Africa
and
around
the
world.
In We
Are All
the Same,
Wooten
tells
the
story of
these
remarkable
people and
give
voice to
the
too-often-mute
human
dimension
of the
global
HIV/AIDS
crisis.
A senior
correspondent
for ABC
New's
Nightline,
Mr.
Wooten
has
served
as
bureau
chief,
national
correspondent,
and
White
House
correspondent
for The
New York
Times.
He is
the
recipient
of the
2002
John
Chancellor
Award
for
Excellence
in
Journalism
and his
work
celebrating
Nkosi
Johnson's
passion
for life
is the
winner
of the
Robert
F.
Kennedy
Book
Award.
