There will be an optional workshop for solution generation after the session that might span from 7 to 9 p.m.

Aileen fundraised for charity works for 6 years for various charity organizations but she found that fundraising alone is not enough to truly care for the people. She decided to start by volunteering to feed the malnourinshed children in the Philippines, for the Gawad Kalinga (“Give Care”), a movement in poverty eradication and community development. There, she met Tony Meloto, founder of GK who showed her the face of dire poverty in Philippines in 2007. Through her experience with the poor in the Philippines, she felt that this was her calling. In 14 February 2007, former President S.R.Nathan launched her Mission 4 Nutrition.

Upon realising that the solution to eradicate poverty is relationship building and investing in the poor as partners, she began to share these values and awareness to students through service immersion and Overseas Community Involvement Programmes (OCIPs). Seeing its success, she co-founded GK Hope initiative to share this awareness to Asia. GK eventually pills out of the effort in order to focus its efforts on their home country, Philippines. This led to the birth of Solutions to End Poverty (STEP).

STEP adapts and develops solutions in community development with partners in Asia while at the same time sharing the successful approaches in Philippines to transform slums. The pilot project that is currently underway is the SMILE Village in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for over 300 people in partnership with Pour un Sourire d’Enfant(PSE) which currently educates more than 7000 children.

Brian Rappert is a Professor of Science, Technology and Public Affairs in the Department of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology st the University of Exeter (UK). His long term interest has been the examination of the social and ethical dilemmas associated with scientific and technical expertise. Over the last ten years, his research has concentrated on examining and participating in attempts to enhance the humanitarian restrictions governing the conduct of war as well as efforts to avoid the militarisation of science, This has entailed undertaking extensive research in diplomatic and security circles. Prof Rappert has done so through an interventionist approach that combines scholarship and policy relevancy. He has conducted research and collaborated with a wide range of non-governmental organisations as part of humanitarian campaigning efforts. This has been done to find ways of promoting inquiry into situations in which the control of information is highly managed.

Join us in asking how revelations conceal, how secret are kept by being shared, and how ignorance is studiously achieved. All will be revealed
