I happened to watch an amazing video on YouTube and I must admit, I was in tears after i saw it...
Please see this video; you can see Narayanan Krishnan helping the mentally destitute, the homeless and elderly people with food, water and basic hygiene everyday in his home town in India. This man gave up his budding career as a Chef to help destitutes in his town, without any personal gain. What a selfless man!! I am truly inspired and humbled with the efforts of Narayanan Krishnan, who also features in the top 10 of CNN's HEROES list in 2010.

Chris Jarvis, President of Realized Worth, talks to us about why it's important for companies, today, to change their approach when dealing with stakeholders.
Chris Jarvis thinks that companies need to rethink the term "stakeholders". He says that people who are "born connectors" are those that can successfully navigate social networks by transmitting information and connecting people in order to start an online dialogue. According to Jarvis, these individuals should be considered the true "influencers".
Organized by NATIONAL Public Relations, the Tremblant Forum has become one of Canada's most important venues for the exchange of ideas on some of the biggest challenges and opportunities faced by companies, governments and members of civil society.

Well, we have been very busy meeting folks who want to donate money and also raising funds with our core group on Kickstarter. So far we have raised over $8,000 and now have only have ten more days to raise support from Kickstarter.
As this amazing journey continues to the next level we are proud to say we have been blessed by our elders support and also support from Navajo Medicine families. As of today, we are so close to reaching our goal and now with just a few more thousand dollars we can finish this film and begin the next procedure which is distribution and post production. As Native American filmmakers we have noticed that since we began this journey, so often independent film making becomes a struggle for the filmmaker to stay in the green even after post production and usually end up in the the red, with debt still accumulating.
With this new insight to film making we are geared up for the big hunt, with only a few days left in our fund raising with Kickstarter, we now are reaching out again to our extended family for a few more dollars and everyone who contributes to our film will have credit as a supporter. You can find out more about this on the site at Kickstarter.
A big shout to all the folks who have donated so far, and we are very grateful for your belief of making dreams come true! Our heart goes to all filmmakers who have a dream and wish to be recognized by and maybe someday have the people watch their movies. With Spirit on our side we have noted to ourselves as tribal relations grow we have to give respect out to the ones before us. The Native world lives in the hope of being respected for the struggle, (so many other cultures have been torn apart by the world's greed). We give a sigh of relief knowing this movie will happen and some day you will watch our film and say "I helped make a dream come true". On that note we raise our glasses to the peeps who see this as another heartfelt letter to a brother or sister who thinks like we do.

Green-technology projects flourished at organizations of all sizes in 2008, a trend that, at first blush, might seem counterintuitive. Given the economic hardships companies are facing, you might expect that projects seemingly tied to feel-good corporate social responsibility endeavors would take a backseat to initiatives aimed at bolstering the bottom line.Green-technology projects flourished at organizations of all sizes in 2008, a trend... more

Prohibition has failed; legalisation is the least bad solution
"The failure of the drug war has led a few of its braver generals, especially from Europe and Latin America, to suggest shifting the focus from locking up people to public health and “harm reduction” (such as encouraging addicts to use clean needles). This approach would put more emphasis on public education and the treatment of addicts, and less on the harassment of peasants who grow coca and the punishment of consumers of “soft” drugs for personal use. That would be a step in the right direction. But it is unlikely to be adequately funded, and it does nothing to take organised crime out of the picture."Prohibition has failed; legalisation is the least bad solution
