i ran into an old family friend while in DC this week who now works at the Acumen Fund in NYC. they are a non-profit venture capital firm who invest in sustainable enterprises in east africa, india and pakistan-helping to provide access to affordable healthcare, water, housing, energy and services. he told me about a book which i started to read last night, written by Jacqueline Novogratz, the fund's founder. It's called "the blue sweater" and i recommend it to anyone who cares in the slightest about understanding global poverty and how we all can do a little bit to help break the cycle by helping provide dignity and choice.
