From S.F. to T.O.
It started out as one event, and now it's a movement. Word got out about our success in San Francisco, so we're bringing our experiment in "innovative humanitarianism" to Toronto. Join us on the evening of FRIDAY APRIL 27th at New Jaasmine Banquet Hall! We sold out in San Francisco, so don't wait to get your free e-ticket here.
What, why?
Mingle with students and young professionals who share an interest in humanitarian work. Hear about the incredible work that IMHO does in Sri Lanka and beyond. Participate in a unique brainstorming session in which your talents/interests are matched with specfic humanitarian needs, to generate innovate projects that come to life with the IMHO's support. After the event, continue working with the IMHO and like-minded attendees
to translate your ideas into real impact overseas.

Ideas to Impact (i2i)
A new event series, sponsored by the IMHO, to create unique environments in which the talents, ambitions, and innovative spirit of students and young professionals can be translated into real humanitarian projects. I2I aims to leverage the IMHO's sizable humanitarian footprint in countries like Sri Lanka, so that young people can use their own ideas to make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
International Medical Health Organization (IMHO)
An international humanitarian organization that focuses on developing and improving health care in disadvantaged and needy regions worldwide. IMHO was founded in 2004 in the United States, by health care professionals who recognized a desperate need in bringing health care to impoverished communities in lesser-developed regions. IMHO is a registered tax-exempt, 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable organization in the United States. IMHO is a registered not-for-profit organization in Canada and is currently awaiting registration with the government as a charitable organization.
Our inaugural event in San Francisco was a great success! Thanks to all the attendees for sharing your passions and ideas with us! We are now in the process of connecting everyone based on interests and skills, so that we can form teams to pursue concrete humanitarian projects.
