Social Entrepreneurship

I'm an advocate for Entrepreneurship. I love innovation and executing on creative ideas. Everything starts with an idea!

I follow a few blogs and one of them is Porverty Cure. Recently I read this inspiring blog post on what they call Social Entrepreneurship.

Here is the link and a quote from the blog
http://www.povertycure.org/media/blog/somo-beads-empowering-women-and-their-families-in-gulu/

Humans are incredible beings, capable of hard work and creativity. We find value and worth in working hard. When we don't earn what we have, we can become dependent and spoiled, and even worse, we lose sight of our self-worth. But, when given the opportunity to create, to work, to become independent, to sustain, we are empowered. Our physical, emotional and spiritual life is enriched. So I have learned, as it relates to poverty and development, that the fundamental principles of work need to be restored and reenacted - this will bring hope to the people of Africa ... and with hope comes unlimited potential. Eek! It's exciting to think about! ~ Heidi Schroeder, founder of SOMO Beads

It is exciting indeed the potential of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is about creating jobs.
