First of all let me just say HOLY CRAP THERE IS AN ASHOKA FELLOW POSTING IN THE THREAD. Awesome.

ahem

I think that it's an incredible organization, especially from a business standpoint. These guys aren't in the business of making money- it's all for the people and the embetterment of society as a whole. Not many organizations can boast something like that, especially ones that have lasted as long as Ashoka.

Another interesting trait is that they are not well known. I'd never heard of the organization until I took this course. One wonders what kind of support they would get if the media gave them the kind of attention they deserve.
