I need to meet this 16 year old. The company sounds similar to Elena's.... Maybe a potential exit/acquirer or source of capital? Also one of the staff at SVPRI was involved with a youth socent development program, we battled around some ideas - more for us to talk about! Great post!! -Dirk Love it, Heidi!

You really lit a fire for me to do what I love and just be free. It's such a simple concept, but we all get sucked into our socialized world, that I abandon that sometimes. You are awesome! Thank you a ton, Susie PS: Would love to see the next new thing you do to your hair :) Heidi,

I have been exploring this exact same question over the past 6 months for a documentary I am working on. I love the responses you got and am curious about what you do and how you plan to take this further. Here is a link to a short trailer for the film I am working on. I would be very happy to connect and share with you on this topic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n-044oYi8k All the best, Mark This is amazing!!!

This sums up my experience in Bangladesh and Cambodia as well. The resilency of the human spirit is remarkable, especially considering what both these places have been through and continue to deal with. The beautiful people of these countries have taught me that while in many cases they are financially poor, the richness of their spirit is a wealth that cannot be taken away.

Re: social enterprise in general, it's my perspective that ALL businesses are social enterprises. However, some have a positive social impact, and some have a negative social impact. Those w/ a negative impact have it for 2 reasons: They don't know, or they don't care. I'm glad that those that don't know have orgs like IDE (Now w/ Andrew R.!) to help educate them. Those that don't care need the light shined on them and to be called out for what they're doing wrong. Where appropriate, the rules need to be changed to insure their 'rightness' so that they don't damage others in their pursuit of success. Re: those rules, most systems of command and control are organized around the needs of the few. It's good to see orgs like IDE creating a framework that's not into either command or control that's focused on helping people help themselves - and thus the needs of the many wherever they are. Keep up the GREAT work! Best, Kevin Hi Heidi,
