- Thanks, Teddy!
I have heard of the A to Z mills (I read about them in the Blue Sweater) - have you ever visited them? I might be going to Kenya in August and it would be cool to see their work.
Good to be in touch,
Mathias

I do try to support AF. I screened for spam for this community last fall (until the office recruited a local volunteer). I also purchased a box of Blue Sweater in paperback for teachers. Here is a link to a presentation in Pune where I plugged AFC enthusiastically:

Here is my squidoo page where I have a donation button for AF:

I also have a standing offer to AF/AFC to take over the 1BpP group anytime. As AFC's mission becomes clearer it is eliminating groups that don't serve to directly promote AF, and i think 1BpP might confuse that picture. Many members here are behind this initiative and so I'm looking to create a separate site (1bpp.net) without diverting support from AFC, which will serve as an online catalog of acumen supporting this goal, through which visitors could carry out keyword searches to find relevant resources at social networks such as AFC.
I also try to share my understanding with others here through my blog and other posts that social enterprise isn't enough because creating affluence produces poverty in our economic system. We need social enterprise within a metamarketplace to eliminate poverty.

Brittany Boroian said… - Hey! I just recently created a group called the Global Health Group, a new place to interact and discuss social enterprise and health, and a bit about the Acumen Fund's role in it. I see from your profile that you have a background in health, and so I thought that you might be interested in joining. Hope to see you there!
