About This Page
Over the duration of November 12 to Feb 12 2012 I will be giving approximately 8,500€ in time, skills and a large personal financial contribution to the education in developing nations. I hope to raise a total of 3000€ Using gofundme.com facility
3000€ is enough to fund two high schools for a whole year, in Thailand each school receives just 30€ per pupil per year.
100% of the monies raised will be going directly to the schools and organisations
for much needed education material books and other necessary equipment.
Most of us take our high quality education for granted when in reality we are very lucky to have one - let alone one in a good well equiped school with well trained and dedicated teachers.
In the high tech age of ultra fast internet it is almost inconcievable that there many poor children in developing nations that barely have money to buy books let alone electricity to power the fans and lights in overheated and over crowded
classrooms.
A Small 10euro donation, the cost of a typical meal at a fast food resturant, funds a student for one full academic term.
Be kind and give generously and get great karma in return.

Social entrepreneurialship is not about making money its about making a change. Just as entrepreneurs change the face of business, social entrepreneurs are the change agents for society, seizing overlooked opportunities by improving systems, inventing new approaches and creating sustainable solutions to transform society for the better. Social entrepreneurs are constantly searching for superior ways to solve the problems that plague society. Together we can make that change.
Be kind and give generously and get great karma in return.
