Prompt for Mountains beyond Mountains. . .

What aspect of Paul Farmer's and Partner's in Health story resonate with you? What does this story tell you about how individuals might come together to address seemingly insurmountable issues? How did Farmer's personal philosophy/how he wanted to live his own life-- influence the people he chooses to collaborate with and the approaches that PIH take to these huge, complex issues? Of course, we don't all have Farmer's boundless energy and drive--we each have our own way of moving forward and making choices about the issues that are important to us. What are you taking away from this colloquium that informs you in some way regarding your own philosophy, choices, working with others, shared human and environmental issues? What connections can you draw between the ways in which PIH addresses a complex issue and some of the ground that we have covered together over the last few months? What have you learned about complexity, shared issues, meaning and what motivates you? What do you think motivates Farmer and his colleagues etc?
