1. SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
IN A WAR ZONE
SCOTT GILMORE WILL DISCUSS HOW SOCIAL-MINDED ENTREPRENEURS
CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN WAR ZONES. WHILE THE RISKS AND
THE COMPLEXITIES ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN WORKING IN A DOMESTIC
ENVIRONMENT, THE REWARDS AND THE IMPACT ARE MUCH HIGHER,
TOO. THE PRESENTATION WILL HIGHLIGHT THE WORK OF RORY STEW-
ART AND THE TURQUOISE MOUNTAIN FOUNDATION, THE ALTAI
GROUP, AND PEACE DIVIDEND TRUST. EACH EXAMPLE IS OF HOW
BUSINESS-MINDED ENTREPRENEURS CHOSE TO WORK IN AFGHANISTAN,
WEDNESDAY
IN THE MIDST OF A WAR, AND WERE SUCCESSFUL IN IMPROVING THE
LIVES OF AFGHANS. MARCH 31, 2010
