You guys know I’m part of Entrepreneurs Organization. One of the initiatives that EO is doing this year is called EO Impact. An initiative for entrepreneurs to give back to society.
When we talk about give back though we’re not looking at just a one-time donation or even really a donation at all. We look at initiatives that are long-term. That instead of giving someone a fish we teach that person to fish. Sustainability.
That’s what a lot of my fellow members have been working on. Instead of orphanages to homes for example, we have kids at home bake cookies (my wife’s latest hobby) and find the people to sell those cookies too so they can have a constant stream of recurrent income.
This Saturday 16th of May EO will be organizing an event (bazaar and stuff) in Publika to promote this and all profits from the event will go to support the homes involved.
So if you’re free go check it out. Details in the flyer.
