QUOTES

Not everyone can be Gandhi, but each of us has the power to make sure our own lives count – and it’s those millions of lives that will ultimately build a better world.

a little bit of good can turn into a whole lot of good when fueled by the commitment of a social entrepreneur

Social entrepreneurs come from all levels of society and from communities in nearly every country of the world. They all share the same underlying drive and passion to see their ideas through. Many of them have had a huge effect on the world, yet most people have not even heard of them – a trend we hope to change!

Philanthropy is all about making a positive difference in the world by devoting your resources and your time to causes you believe in.

Don't think of money as the final goal, think of it as a way to do good for the world.

Many of the problems of our modern world, ranging from disease to drugs to crime to terrorism, derive from the inequalities between the rich and the poor . . . be they rich nation versus poor nation or rich community versus poor community. It is in the best interests of the well-off to help empower those who are not as well-off to improve their lives.
