Very Cool and Uplifting News from Acumen Fund

Social Entrepreneurship is a quickly growing phenomenon.
 

 

Dear Acumen Fund Friends,

Greetings to you in this season of renewal. I hope this finds you well.

I've just returned from Nairobi, the last in our series of visits to cities in the U.S., Pakistan, India and Kenya to interview final candidates for the 2008 class of Acumen Fund fellows. The experience has been exhilarating and humbling. We've met truly extraordinary individuals from all over the world. From a pool of 500 candidates from 60 countries, we now have to select eight fellows – a difficult task to say the least.

Merry Christmas! Grandma is gonna love this....

As I wait semi-patiently for my visa to Brazil, watching myself slip into mediocrity once again, I decided to fast from movies, tv, and junk food until Christmas. It was a huge step in the right direction otherwise life was going to end up like this: I've been keeping myself busy with developing http://www.ywamva.org . Everything about their site looks the same as before but everything is now managed with blogger.com like my website. Stupid paypal donation button still isn't working, though. sigh.... I've also been doing some last minute video editing for them. I might upload it to Google Video, but I have to warn you, it's a 14 minute long inside joke mocking YWAM staff. I've concluded that acting is still more fun than editing films mainly because I'm not a walking database of catchy songs like most of my peers are.
