Why Ndoto? As privileged students, many of us feel pressured to pursue traditionally stable professions
such as law, medicine or economics, setting aside noble endeavors in other creative fields.
To empower our peers to rise above this notion, we have created a nonprofit conference
that aims to foster young creativity, encourage entrepreneurship, and present students
with innovative methods to make a lasting positive impact on their world.
Our extensive list of speakers include a neuropsychologist of creativity who authored anEncyclopedia of Creativity , an ocean conservationist who is a pilot by day and a DJ by
night, and even a Grammy Nominee who has worked with world-famous musicians like
Michael Jackson and Ringo Starr. To see who else is coming, visit our facebook page:

1 Red Hill Road, HKIS
Taking Ndoto FurtherFollowing our conference in Hong Kong, another Ndoto conference will take place inChennai, India on March 9th, 2013. Its main goal is to introduce students of the lowest
caste system in India - the “untouchables”, to ways that they can aid the development of
their community through social and business entrepreneurship. The underprivileged
students participating in the Ndoto conference in Chennai, India will be attending free of
charge - their costs entirely covered by sponsorships and funds raised in Hong Kong. In
other words, every ticket you buy for our conference in Hong Kong will sponsor one
underprivileged student to attend our conference in India.
