Campus, PD 304.
Film viewing and discussion of "Uganda: A Little Goes a Long Way" - This
short film shows how a San Francisco-based nonprofit called Kiva.org is
revolutionizing the world of micro-credit.
"South Africa: The Play Pump" - This film focuses on social entrepreneur
Trevor Field and his Play Pump water project in South Africa to provide
clean water to poor communities: a school yard merry-go-round that
powers clean water.
Note: these are two of 16 in documentary series.
* Wednesday, September 17, 6:00 p.m., Central Campus, PD304.
Public lecture/forum - "Passing on the Gift: Social Entrepreneurship"
with guest speakers Alex and Ann Smythers of Heifer International.
The goal of the FRONTLINE/World Social Entrepreneurs Film Program is to
engage the general public, students and professionals in a discussion
with leaders in business, humanitarian aid, academia and/or social
activism on the concept of social entrepreneurship as a way to create
meaningful solutions to social problems in developing countries, in
contemporary society and in our local communities.
FRONTLINE/World is the award-winning PBS international news magazine
that turns its lens on the global community, covering countries and
cultures rarely seen on American television. The special Social
Entrepreneurs Series features the stories of people whose ideas and
organizations create new and sustainable markets and services that
benefit underserved communities everywhere in the developing world.
Entrepreneurs change the face of business; social entrepreneurs change
society by creating solutions to social problems that leap beyond
charity and encourage the development of systematic solutions that help
eradicate poverty, enhance educational opportunities, provide better
health care and champion social justice.
