It’s a miracle what money can buy for a very select group of lottery winners who have managed to capitalize on the combined efforts of the masses.

the first step to helping a child who needs additional support is acceptance from the parents about the child’s needs.. unfortunately I encountered many parents who just hope the child would get better as they get older and then start to panic later on… early intervention is so important!

Can art help us usefully address polarizing issues such as gender, abortion or race? In a performance of “Faces of X” — a series that seeks to reframe culture-war clashes — actor Bill Heck stages different sides of a debate between capitalism’s champions and its critics, illuminating a new way to grapple with complex realities. After the performance, creator Stephanie Lepp offers three questions we should all ask to move to clear perspective and new understanding. (Recorded at TED2025 on April 9, 2025)

Sometimes feeding just one child can seem challenging. Not for entrepreneur Wawira Njiru, who’s gone from serving lunch to 25 children from a makeshift kitchen to establishing her nonprofit, Food4Education, as a cornerstone of Kenya’s school meals system. Currently serving half a million meals to children every day, she’s now thinking even bigger. Hear about her incredible plan to serve delicious, nutritious daily meals to millions of kids across Africa by 2030.
