We are pleased to announce our partnership with CIOsWithoutBorders, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to educate and use technology to alleviate shortages in medicine and medical knowledge around the world. Knowledge changes behavior. CIOsWithoutBorders works to reduce the incidence of preventable disease by sharing medical knowledge with technologically disenfranchised communities around the world. Many of us routinely use publicly available knowledge–from the internet or elsewhere--to inform our medical decisions. Our actions are often influenced by what we know is harmful to our health (contact with toxic materials, drinking contaminated water or lifting heavy weights while pregnant). CIOsWithout Borders'mission is to use technology to make medical knowledge available to communities in which people routinely suffer from preventable (or easily curable) diseases.

Dignity, acceptance, and a chance to reach one's potential – these are human rights worth promoting for everyone. Since 1968, Special Olympics has been bringing one message to the world: people with intellectual disabilities can and will succeed if given the opportunity. Through year round sports training and competition, Special Olympics empowers individuals with intellectual disabilities in more than 180 countries. Special Olympics often is the only place where they have an opportunity to participate in their communities and develop belief in themselves. Many live lives of neglect and isolation, hidden away or socially excluded from full participation in schools or society. Transforming the athlete, Special Olympics sports are a gateway to empowerment, competence, acceptance and joy.
