out. And I have to lying down on the tongue and pretend it's like corpse. You know, corpse. Corpse not cups. Because I can not move my body, I have to remain still, and they put, what they call, some kind of foam here and bite guard. Something which is, I had to chews in my mouth, and they put in cold-water become freeze, yeah. Become hard, and I chews again
Les deux font bien leur boulot ensemble. Leur corps ne leur appartient plus.
Les deux font bien leur boulot ensemble. Le corps a toujours été un objet de domination depuis des siècles.
My favorite book. There you go. Marine Corps reads that book. Really? Very interesting. So out of that, I was noting that humility as a leader
it's very difficult to say if she was a lesbian or not. The corps was led by Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Clark, and they were keen to find interpreters to help them on their journey, particularly as they were going up
Thank you. Curt is the CEO and co-founder of Food Corps , a fast growing national nonprofit. Food Corps ' mission is working together with communities to connect kids to healthy food in school. Joining Curt on stage today is Sarah Ting, who is an alumni of the Food Corps program.
So with a group of friends, we launched a nonprofit that we called Food Corps . Food Corps is a nationwide team of leaders who connect kids to healthy food in school. Our core members dedicate themselves to a year or two of AmeriCorps service, working hand-in-hand with community partners across 18
drove it. Solutions need to be co-created with the communities we're serving, or else they will have no relevance to those communities. Food Corps needs to look different in the Mississippi Delta from how it looks in Detroit, from how it looks in Hawaii, to how it looks in rural Maine, or rural Montana, or rural Iowa. But underneath the difference that makes our country special and the need to adapt our programming to match its place,
And if you can adapt those strategies to match the cultural context and the climate in which you're working, then you can really unlock impact. Food Corps has worked with a team of researchers at Columbia to develop a framework for our work planning and our impact tracking school by school that is all about finding those things that the evidence shows truly move the needle on kids eating more fruits and vegetables
They're doing it in a way that will truly have staying power for the long term. Food Corps strives to strike that balance of consistency from place to place, to build a proof point that can be held up to policymakers and others for replication,
They're doing it in a way that will truly have staying power for the long term. Food Corps does not exist to do small acts of charity.
have a long history, a long and good history, with Mercy Corps . Mercy Corps has, I should say, 4,000 members. They live and work in more than 40 countries.
grows by a much bigger number. Mercy Corps also helped us pioneer a new program, which is-- this is a mouthful-- it's the GooglersGive Disaster Corps , otherwise known as the GDC. It's a neat idea.
That's a huge number. Mercy Corps is working-- and this picture is actually taken in Zaatari camp. About 180,000 people live in this camp.
This is a picture of our guide, who is there talking to some refugees about routes, and how to get to safe places, and how to get information Mercy Corps works-- not only do we work in each of the places where refugees are coming from currently, but we're also working in Turkey, and Greece, and in the Balkans, and in all the places where refugees are passing through.
Kids are kids. Parent's concern about kids cuts across lines and so does their willingness to support kids. Experience Corps is a lovely little program.
for The Washington Post in a, a blog that deals with interfaith issues. It's entitled, "The Faith Divide." Today, he'll be speaking to us about his work through his non-profit, which is the Interfaith Youth Corps , and as well as his book, his book, which is entitled, "Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation." Now, Eboo has many titles and awards from being a, a Rhodes Scholar to an Ashoka Fellow to a, a member of the, the National Committee of the Aga Khan Foundation.
Thank you. Thank you for, for being part of a generation that envisioned a new world and then built that world. And that's what we're trying to do in our own way at the Interfaith Youth Corps . And I wanna, what I wanna describe for you is, is where that vision came from, what that vision is, and how we're trying to build it. And then what I'd love is your advice. I mean your advice as a community of people who, as I said, have imagined a new world and then built that new world, right? How, how could you counsel us in dramatically
other words, if you want to if if you want to do some sort of social service, you know, the equivalent of a domestic Americaore or peace corps or something like that. Okay. In other words, he has answers for that. An end to this so-called judicial reform. Um, you know, a greater emphasis on democracy, call it
You definitely don't want to try to save all human knowledge on your computer. The Peace Corps , for anyone who doesn't know, is a US governmental organization founded in the late 1960s.
You definitely don't want to try to save all human knowledge on your computer. I left the Peace Corps after a couple of years.
And after a rigorous selection process, these guys are then paraded in front of the world's press in 1959. And the whole press corps stands up and cheers for them. I mean, they are celebrities before any one of them has set foot into space.
And it's an elusive art form that I didn't get when I first entered the Marine Corps because I was ranked last out of all these second lieutenants in the Marine Corps in my first duty station. And I remember going up to my major at the time that was evaluating me.
The other part of it is also the Marine Corps . The Marine Corps , the higher in rank you go, the less you're allowed to complain. So as a Gunnery Sergeant, do you really think I was going to turn to my platoon of 63 US Marines, combat Marines now, and tell them there's
Elles reprennent possesion de leur corps . Elles se réapproprient leur corps . Et en fait, quand on revient, on se dit qu'au lieu d'être une association classique qui va faire de l'humanitaire avec son sac de riz.
Les deux font bien leur boulot ensemble. à travers le corps , on le voit. Un corps qui est là, n'est pas la même chose qu'un corps qui est là.
Les deux font bien leur boulot ensemble. On passe par le corps pour dominer l'esprit.
And I think I first had tapes, and then eventually a CD, and a Discman that I would listen to that was, like, the Marine Corps running cadences. Wow. Yeah. That is-- So I was into it, man.
Yeah. Like if you we're making a movie. So in the Marine Corps , we always say that there's two types of Marines. You got field Marines and garrison Marines.
He gets back to Washington, D.C. And he puts a general in charge of the war on poverty, a great American patriot named Sargent Shriver, who also created the Peace Corps . And when he was asked what the goal was, Sargent Shriver said our goal is dignity, not doles.

states, and hundreds and hundreds of schools, to make those schools fundamentally healthier places for kids to eat, and learn, and grow up in. We have Corps members from Maine to Mississippi, from California to, yes, Iowa, where we have a team just a few miles from that acre of corn, doing simple good work day in and day out, helping kids fall in love with fruits and vegetables and set new eating habits in place.
Most of them recently wrapped up college or grad school, but a number of them were non-college bound or have returned to service as grandparents. The majority of our Corps members are serving in their home state. Many of them are serving in their home communities.
apply that on the ground. Awesome Food Corps believes that, if we are going to be successful at driving change, it's going to be that we were not the ones who ultimately drove it. Solutions need to be co-created with the communities we're serving, or else they will have no relevance to those communities.
And for all the effort we put into helping kids develop a growth mindset in the classroom, we fail to cultivate one around the dinner table. For Food Corps , we do taste tests all the time, where we introduce new foods, not covering somebody's plate, but just a little bit. And we invite kids to vote in three categories-- loved it, liked it, or tried it.
because it means throwing out the broccoli that you've worked so hard to buy. That's why Food Corps focuses our efforts on high needs schools, places where kids may not have that opportunity at home, and where we have an obligation to make sure every child has the chance to try, and try, and try new foods until they learn they love them.
It has to be the work of a team. And Food Corps , in every school we serve, now forms a school team at the beginning of each year, pulls in community members, sometimes kids, a particularly engaged parent, a food service director, and works together to co-create our vision for what that healthy school needs to look
They're doing it in a way that will truly have staying power for the long term. of Food Corps ' aspirations are built.
Then we became corps de ballet members.
of a Marine Corps Dental Battalion just really appealed to me.
So the Marine Corps Dental Battalion was off the list, sadly.
It was "The Marine Corps Hymn," from the Halls of Montezuma.
It's nice to also welcome Craig Redmond from Mercy Corps . Craig is the Mercy Corps Senior Vice President of Programs. And for those of you, probably mostly on VC, who don't know, Mercy Corps is a global organization that helps people get back on their feet
For folks who don't know, we collectively generated about $1.1 million of donations, grants, et cetera for Mercy Corps in the context of the Nepal disaster. And that was a combination of Google.org giving, a combination of Googlers donating trips, credits, and actual direct giving through our GooglersGive for Disaster
17 Googlers participated in the Nepal program through, I think, five NGOs. I think Mercy Corps was one of them, and hosted Googlers for a number of weeks in Nepal. And you will hear from some of those Googlers today.
So that wasn't working at all either. So at Mercy Corps , we thought, how can we do this. What can we do to make sure that we can get capital into the hands of people as quickly as possible?
And the last slide. From the Mercy Corps side, I can say I'm talking to our team in Nepal and talking to our team elsewhere too. We are really proud of the work that we're doing.
What are some other huge, complicated challenges that we can take on and solve together? like Mercy Corps . And I have to say that, on the ground, it was very impressive to see the work that they've
Walmoden's corps is one of the-- and some of the units in it are the oddest units.
And the Marine Corps , particularly, didn't really have a mission there.
