I'd like to personally invite you to an event this Friday (2/5) focused on market-based solutions to poverty. Acumen Fund will be represented by Yasmina Zaidman, Director of Communications. This a great chance to connect with others who are passionate about Acumen Fund and the use of market-based approaches to solving poverty - and to build the necessary relationships and momentum to get Acumen Fund chapters started in your area.

The Alleviating Poverty Through Entrepreneurship Summit on February 5, 2010 at The Ohio State University will bring together students, professionals, and community members to connect with each other and learn about market-based approaches to solving poverty. The Summit will feature local, national, and international speakers - presenting the approaches through three perspective lenses: Policy, Academic and Practitioner.

Hello to all of you in school and studying

We are looking for students to help spread our online brand to build sustainable, high nutrition, BOP ago production models in rural Africa. I hope some of you will contact me directly. We hope to sponsor 2 US interns starting next summer if not sooner during the Easter Holidays.

In the meantime, looking for students who want to work with us online.

At the Center for Creative Leadership, we're using a model developed with the Acumen Fund to fold leadership development and innovation into social entrepreneurship and service learning programs. See: http://leadbeyond.net/?p=324
