"Maybe the most important take away from the book for me, was that if you have an idea you believe and are determined to see it realized, it can happen.
"The Blue Sweater" put down in words all these bits and pieces of ideas…"

Jennie West said… - Wei Wei,
I see that others use both the first and second of your names but I wonder what is correct?
Thank you for responding to me. Yes, I knew you had talked with one of our Deans, Gail.
I posted a minute ago but I am technologically challenged so I guess I was on a different page just related to The Blue Sweater and also comments to Jacqueline.
I am curious as to whether you have found that freshmen college students can connect well to the book. Initially I am leaning toward using it for my senior social work majors in my Macro Practice course as I think their maturity level and deeper understanding would help them be ready for the depth of the book. But maybe freshmen would just connect on a different level? Any thoughts or experiences you have had would be helpful. Thank you...and maybe we can talk.
Take care,
Jennie West
P.S. I was on the website earlier today and enjoyed the brief video of the Acumen Fund "take your children to work" activities. It was wonderful.

- Hello Wei Wei,
Thank you for your comment! I'm so pleased joined here. The Blue Sweater is continuing to sell well, and Nikkei Shinbun, the major newspaper in Japan, put the article about Jacqueline this Wednesday! I hope we can make a good collaboration.

Ayesha Hoda said… - Hi,
Thanks for your response. I could design the look but somebody would have to work on the technical side (HTML). I'll give you an example. On my blog you can see some boxes on the right side if you scroll down, like "Blog with Integrity" and "Copyscape" ...if we design sth like that for Acumen or The Blue Sweater, bloggers can put it up on their blogs to support the fund and perhaps the badge could link back to the side...what do you think?

Anjali Oberoi said… - I think I end up doing an informal Acumen 101 every second day within a different section of my friends circle :) It would be great to do an organized one though - do you have a "get to know us" package? It would be easy enough to put one together too.

lakshmi kumari said… - Wei I suggest that it would be good that some few pages of Blue Sweater may be displayed on Acumen fund online community website so people who ever have not read this can get an idea about the Book .
Actual I read few pages which were displayed on Amazon.com it was very interstng and I hope to get to know more about the Blue Sweater .
Thank u
lakshmi
