You and Bill Gates Making the World a Better Place

January 20, 2012

What are you doing next Wednesday? Will you take a moment to join a global conversation on addressing poverty, hunger, and health with Bill Gates?

Next week, Bill will be discussing his Annual Letter with the world leaders in Europe. It's his letter to the world about how he envisions governments, leaders, the business sector, organizations, and individuals working together to address poverty, hunger, and health. And as he mentioned this week in his blog post, he’s also started the conversation with young people around the world to get their take on what's needed.

Young people have already stepped up! From Australia to Vietnam, there's been an incredible response to Bill's call to students to share their own "annual letters" about how they want to change the world.

But what would you share with Bill about making the world a better place?

You have a few different ways of joining the conversation by asking Bill a question about his annual letter or contributing your own "world changing" ideas:

On January 25th, Bill will be appearing on BBC World Have Your Say radio program at 11 a.m. GMT (you can  read some of the amazing letters from young people pouring in from around the world) and will be discussing his letter with Hans Rosling at an event organised by the Global Poverty Project at 1:30 p.m. GMT.

Here at the foundation, we'll be tuned into social media conversation via #BillsLetter. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below!
