Inspired by the Acumen Fund Blog’s “Seen & Heard” weekly round-up of links, the ThinkChange Pakistan team is going to give you a weekly dose of all things #socent!
From the Land of the Pure:
- The Express Tribune reports on a round table discussion on micro-insurance that took place this week, resulting in draft regulations to encourage the expansion of the sector.
- Gawaahi was launched, providing an online platform to tell the stories of survivors. Be sure to follow them on Twitter and Facebook!
We in #socent Do Things Differently:
- Sasha Dichter (Director of Business Development, Acumen Fund) proposed rebooting Valentine’s Day to make Generosity Day. His suggestion resulted in blog posts and over 3000#generosityday tweets!
- Randall Kempner (Executive Director, Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs) wrote about how small business entrepreneurs and the key to poverty alleviation in the long-term.
- Village Capital asks, “Are you adding value beyond money?“
- Sasha Dichter (he’s on a roll this week) reflects on the generalisations we make about non-profit and for-profit organisations.
Lastly, TED released TED Conversations, connecting people to converse, collaborate and debate on the issues that matter for them.
That’s it for this week from the ThinkChange Pakistan team – there’s some great stuff lined up next week, so make sure you’re subscribed to the blog or following us on Facebook or Twitter!
That is really very good information.
I will be looking forward for the great stuff next week
Thank you guys!
