		<description><![CDATA[World Economic Forum Somehow, I was not invited to the prestigious and exclusive World Economic Forum in Davos this year. Many other members of the media were there along with the corporate executives, politicians, celebrities, cautiously happy bankers, an anxious Shimon Peres complaining that the world is becoming ungovernable and some topless Ukrainian women protesters who &#8230; <a href="http://www.humanosphere.org/2013/01/did-anything-that-matters-to-the-rest-of-us-happen-in-davos/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

British PM David Cameron just said it this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos: &#8220;We can be the generation that eradicates absolute poverty in our world.&#8221; Yes, &#8230; <a href="http://www.humanosphere.org/2013/01/the-history-of-being-the-first-in-history-to-end-poverty/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Bill Gates always is and will make his standard pitch for assisting the world&#8217;s poorest.

This one is not located at the Swiss ski resort town of Davos, features few celebrities like Bono and is garnering much less media attention. It&#8217;s the WEF on Africa, in Cape Town, South Africa, this year.

		<description><![CDATA[Bill and Melinda Gates are big believers in vaccines and in the benefit of eradicating, rather than simply controlling, those human diseases that have the potential for being completely wiped out. Today, Gates and British Prime Minister David Cameron announced a combined new donation of $166 million in support of the global polio eradication campaign. &#8230; <a href="http://www.humanosphere.org/2011/01/bill-gates-gives-and-gets-more-money-for-polio-eradication-while-at-davos/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
