THE EVOLUTION OF THE REVOLUTION: CHANGING BUSINESS MODELS IN THE BUSINESS OF CHANGE

Alex on May 10, 2012 - 1:58am | 0 Comments

A funny thing happened on the way to the revolution...everyone changed their business models. That's at least true for many of the do-gooder Web platforms that launched around the same time as Changents.

THE COURAGE TO TALK ABOUT FAITH

Alex on March 28, 2012 - 5:39pm | 1 Comments

Social entrepreneurs have courage in abundance. The courage to attempt to make the world better in ways that haven't been tried before. The courage to stick with it when things don't go as planned. The courage to let the vision grow and evolve in unexpected directions. Or the courage to call it quits when a project doesn't work out...and then to move onto the next phase of changing reality.

CULTIVATING AN ATTITUDE

Here in New Hampshire, it seems that Spring has sprung early! Yesterday, temperatures reached 80 degrees and I could not have been happier! I am a warm-weather girl, to be sure, and the end of a winter is always welcome. Being outside, biking to work and walking on the beach are just a few of the amazing things warm weather brings.

One of my favorite children's books is Dr. Seuss' The Lorax. Hopefully, with the movie coming out this weekend, this next generation will come ot love it as much as I do. Zac Efron and Taylor Swift being in the movie will certainly help with that . . .

GIVE BETTER VALENTINE'S DAY GIFTS THIS YEAR!

Ally_Changents on February 13, 2012 - 2:54pm | 0 Comments

Valentine's Day is here! There are many reasons to hate V-day but also many reasons to love it. It's the time of year when flower prices skyrocket, restaurants are booked up and jewelry commercials abound! Yes, it's commercialized and can be overdone but it's also a day that reminds us to tell the people in our lives that we love them.

MALARIA: WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW?

Ally_Changents on February 6, 2012 - 10:01am | 0 Comments

Every 45 seconds, a child dies from malaria. This rampant killer, stemming from a simple mosquito bite, is actually simple to stop. A long-lasting insecticidal net (what World Vision calls LLINs) provides an easy way to protect families from this deadly disease. Only problem? For people who face this threat, mainly those in Africa, this solution is much too costly.
