How can we create opportunities in economically disadvantaged countries? Buddy Teaster, founder of Soles4Souls, helps us understand the plight of women in Haiti; introduces us to Marie Ange, a bold woman determined to change her life; explains the opportunities available even in a country where most of the citizens live on less than $2 per say; and shows us how we can help simply by cleaning out our closets. TEDxStLouis was held at MX Movies in downtown St. Louis, Missouri on 9.19.13. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
