An idea worth spreading
"A global social development knowledge portal, run by beneficiaries instead of donors, so we understand what REALLY WORKS and how" Everyone keeps talking about learning from each other, but what about learning to really listen????????? We need to start building on each others work instead of constantly wasting resources to re-invent the wheel, and determining sucess not from eyes but from the eyes of the "beneficiaries". Global AID is being WASTED.
The TED story
Following your heart lands you in the most amazing places and with the most amazing people. I've been blessed to be able to do work that has real meaning and purpose. I hope that TED will help others realize that the life we lead has so much impact beyond the four walls of our own little worlds. Working together can accomplish so much more than working in silos. We MUST figure out how to make development "type" organizations more creative and responsive.
