"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." George Washington Carver What is Social Entrepreneurship?

Jobeda Ali (FairKnowledge) receiving her award from Dr Rachel Armstrong (@livingarchitect) The Ogunt礙 Women's Social Leadership Awards 2010 The Awards were a great celebration of women's outstanding achievements, bold initiatives and courage to bring about solutions to pressing social issues. Dr Rachel Armstrong, guest speaker, encouraged women in the audience to define their vision and to never be put off by people who impose their "norm" and tell you how or where you "should" be. This event celebrated women who had gone the extra mile to challenge and overturn inadequate policies, inequalities and unfair laws, and who were capable of demonstrating their social impact.
