The weekly current affairs show on PBS, NOW, is holding a contest for social entrepreneurs. Called Project Enterprise, we are seeking nominations of people who are in the beginning stages of starting an innovative project with a humanitarian mission. The winner will be chronicled on our website: www.pbs.org/enterprisingideas and get some time on the NOW broadcast. Nominate someone (or yourself!) today: http://www.pbs.org/now/enterpris ingideas/project-enterprise.html

Great idea for show. Much as I love Yunus and Drayton for what they have done I long for the day people can name social entrepreneurs by the dozens like they can sports figures and rock stars. (No, I won't hold my breath)

- thats right.
- linguistic is a skill, and if tagged to social value, no doubt, it would be a social enterprise.

- thanks for this path walker,
hope to chip in later,but getting more involved will determine our participation, from this perspective, i reccommend collective effort and wisdom for a comprehensive globle change.
with this platform the net, i think its paying off dividently, especially if more forums are organised to cater for the very many starters in the field of enterprenuership enterprise in relation to the internet.
