Welcome!
We are here to offer you what promises to be our best
and most memorable event yet.
All three days are packed with rousing speeches,
exciting performances, thought-provoking roundtables,
and discussions, exhibits and films. It is truly your
chance to meet amazing people from all over the world
who are striving to make the world a better place.
Hundreds are converging in Atlanta, with unique
backgrounds and diverse experiences. But all with
the same mindset: we are gathered here because we
believe in a global community of compassion and care
for one another. We are here because we believe all
human beings deserve access to clean water, proper
nutrition and health care, safe and healthy living
environments, and the right to choose their leaders
without reprisal.
We believe that collaboration and community are the
keys to advancing any important cause that could improve people’s lives in this nation and around the world.
This weekend is about being human. It is about transforming our frustrations with the current exclusionary
systems into visions for improvement and plans for
action. We encourage you to reach out, learn, make
new friends, and forge new partnerships. You are to
become an essential part of this exciting and historic
humanitarian movement.
This summit is designed to provide something for
everyone — whether you are just starting to explore
these humanitarian issues, or are already a seasoned
expert. We cannot wait to see you dive into the sessions, soak up the speeches and performances, and roll
up your sleeves at a workshop. Meanwhile, make sure
you save a little energy for just having fun.
Get ready to inspire and be inspired. A better world
starts here!

Ou r M is s io n
The first Global Health and Humanitarian Summit took place
April, 2010 at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. The brain
child of Neil Shulman, MD, Associate Professor at Emory
School of Medicine, the first Summit centered on health,
and later expanded to humanitarianism in all
segments of our society.
The Global Health and Humanitarian Summit
brings the local and global humanitarian
community together for an educational
and inspiring forum, fostering sustainable,
world-changing humanitarian action.
Dr. Shulman’s vision was to have an event that
celebrated and raised awareness of the outstanding
accomplishments of ordinary people doing great things
here at home and worldwide. The Summit also presented
a forum for people to network and share ideas with each
other and encourage others to follow in its footsteps.
The Summit events were free for all who attended
and for those who presented the work of their organizations. Neil envisioned a movement that would be replicated
at universities and other institutions across the nation and
worldwide.
The Summit strives to improve the delivery
of humanitarian services, raise awareness
of organizations committed to creating
a better world and to inspiring the next
generation of activists and volunteers.
D r. N eil Sh u lm an has written
17 books – including the book that
inspired the smash-hit movie, “Doc
Hollywood,” produced videos and
feature movies, co-founded charitable
organizations which brighten the lives
of nursing home residents, arranged
heart surgery for children who could
not otherwise obtain it, and promoted
understanding among children of
different cultures. His stories about his
life in medicine, standup comedy, and Hollywood are fascinating and wonderfully entertaining.
Sonny B a ndyopa dhya y is an Emory ‘07 alum
and an organizer of the Global Health
& Humanitarian Summit. He is also
the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Global HEED, a social entrepreneurship & 501(c)3 venture serving

Republic of the Congo. Mutombo is the seventh of ten

Coach John Thompson invited the 7’2” Mutombo to try
out for the university’s renowned basketball team. After
joining the team, Mutombo re-directed his pre-med
ambitions and graduated from Georgetown with dual
degrees in Linguistics and Diplomacy. He is fluent in nine
languages, including five African languages. He played
professional basketball for 18 years before retiring from
the Houston Rockets in 2009. Giving back has always
been a trademark of Mutombo ever since he entered the
NBA in 1991.
As a former
spokesman for CARE,
the international relief
agency, Mutombo visited
Somali refugee camps in
Northern Kenya in 1993
and traveled with NBA
Commissioner David
Stern and Georgetown
colleagues Patrick Ewing
and Alonzo Mourning
to Cape Town and
Johannesburg.
In 1996, Mutombo

women’s basketball
team’s trip to Atlanta
for the Summer Olympics games and also picked up
the tab for the track team’s uniforms and expenses. He
is the first Youth Emissary for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and he also served on the
Advisory Board for the Fogarty International Center at
the National Institutes of Health. He presently serves on

Ambassador for the Special Olympics.

Camp be ll
singer, actor, writer,
director, producer, has
nearly two decades of experience in the music industry. It’s
a wonder Marlon Campbell is still hungry. He has taken
his hefty appetite and crossed over to the big screens
with a quest to take Hollywood by storm. Campbell, a
native of New Orleans, grew up in the same household as
his famous playwright cousin, Tyler Perry, and Campbell’s
mother is characterized throughout Perry’s plays.
Marlon, aka “Shy,” got his start in the music industry
in the late 80’s, along with his trendsetting band Shy Shy
& The C.R.I.M.E which garnered world notoriety. In 1989,
Campbell tried out his acting chops by playing the character “Dwight” on the NBC After School Special, Crack.
Campbell furthered his cross over into acting and made
his debut in the live stage play for William Shakespeare’s
Macbeth.
“I always knew I would end up working in the movie
industry and for years it was constantly tugging away at
my heart. A little voice in my head kept telling me I had to
make a transition from music to film. I knew it was time
for me to go ahead and write my first script for theatrical
release,” said Campbell.
Campbell’s first transition to film was a project to
executive produce the reality show titled “Blaque In The
House,” which featured R&B artists T-Boz from the group
TLC, along with platinum-selling trio BLAQUE.
Campbell’s latest project is a new sitcom production
entiltled Momma and Me, which stars Bern Nadette Stanis
(Thelma of 70s sitcom Good Times). The show promises
to deliver a new slant to the traditional family sitcom.
The Ma ra f ie Founda tion is a Kuwait-based
family foundation that provides humanitarian aid to
institutions and organizations around the world. The
Foundation’s objectives include constructing clinics,
schools, community, and health centers among other
community building projects.

Tye s h i a Tho m a s was born in London, England where she spent most of her childhood years with her mother
and father. She studied at the University of Northeast London in Islington. After college she realized she needed a change
and came to Atlanta for a three-week holiday and fell in love. She fell in love with the greenery, the land space but most of all
the southern hospitality.
Being in Georgia has been an exciting
ten years. I have had many great
opportunities especially being involved
with Watering Oasis and the extensive
amount of selfless work they do
for others. I look forward to a long
and wonderful journey with all the humanitarians
I have met thus far, working together
for a better and brighter future.
