A sense of URGENCY!!

I returned on Sunday 30th March from attending the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship. Click here to view live video coverage and blogging from the 2008 Skoll World Forum

I cannot begin to do justice to the event. Suffice it to say that it has strengthened my passion, dedication and drive to create the awareness in South Africa of this “phenomena” called Social Entrepreneurship. The picture below is ‘borrowed’ from the Berkley Bottom Line team: Mike Lee, Roxanne Miller, & Omar Garriott. (I am sure they won’t mind me taking the liberty to showcase their work!!).

This was a wonderful session on the first morning, where we were privileged to interact with the MBA students. Sitting to my left is a fellow South African, Bram Davies who is doing his PhD on Social Entrepreneurship back in South Africa.

• Is this what we need to ‘establish’ in South Africa?


• Is there a loose forum already exisiting?


• Are we talking to each other?

I look forward to your comments.
