Mike Everett-Lane Can "Yes And" Save The World?

In addition to my do-gooder work, I'm also an improvisation trainer, teaching businesses how to work better together using techniques derived from improv. I truly believe that the cooperative nature of improvisation is a general force for good in the world. More than about "being funny," improvisation teaches us to listen, to value others' ideas, to put aside one's own interests for a time, to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. So I thought you'd be interested in this blog post f… Continue

This is the idea that has always grounded and fueled our work.

William Logai Ochieng ONURA SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECT - SUDAN.

My village needs two classrooms and a library, but the community cannot afford it. I am raising money for the construction costs and I need your help in the funding of the project. The rooms in which grades 4 and 5 currently learn are huts with grass roofs. The problems and distractions these edifices create are endless. When it rains, the roof sounds like a drum roll and the floors flood. When it is windy, the roof shakes and rumbles, and papers fly everywhere because there is no door… Continue

Sylvia Ng “Does microlending fight poverty?” – Wrong Question To Ask

This is a cross-post from charitychamps.wordpress.com On this blog I’ve written two previous posts on microfinance (also known as microcredit or microlending) and its effects. Well the debate regarding whether microlending solves poverty still rages on, and this month, the Boston Globe published a fairly extensive article containing much supporting material that concludes microfinance doesn’t actually do much to alleviate poverty. If you’re interested in the subject I would definitely recommend… Continue

David Martel Colorado Rocky Mountain School junior inspires student body with FACE AIDS presentation

This blog is from the Colorado Rocky Mountain School's Blog "The fight for health as a human right, a fight with real promise, has so far been plagued by failures. Failure because we are chronically short of resources. Failure because we are too often at the mercy of those with the power and money to decide the fates of hundreds of millions. Failure because ill health, as we have learned again and again, is more of… Continue

This commentary has been posted with the consent of Mrs. Ashley Jablow of Changebase, and 3BL Media. I’ve often spoken on The Changebase about social entrepreneurs who’ve chosen to radically reinvent how business creates social change in our communities and around the world. Organizations like Kiva (microfinance), Carrotmob (conscious consumerism), and Frontline SMS (information access through technology) have literally re-draw… Continue

Sylvia Ng Toques & Beavers a Must Visit for Canadians

This is a cross-post from charitychamps.wordpress.com If you follow this blog you’d know that I’m always on the look-out for online microphilanthropies with a Canadian bent (I am Canadian afterall). For the most part I actually don’t think it really matters where the microphilanthropy is based, but sometimes it does affect whether as a Canadian I can participate in the programs, and other times it affects whether Canadian charities are the beneficiaries or not. So I was quite delighted to disc… Continue
