On Friday, October 5, 2012, Dr. Zachary D. Kaufman, editor of Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities, and his colleagues in the Rotary Club of Kigali-Virunga (RCKV) (of which he is an Honorary Member) and the American Friends of the Kigali Public Library (of which he is the founder, president, and Chairman of the Board of Directors), inaugurated the Kigali Public Library (KPL), Rwanda’s first public library. At the ceremony, Dr. Kaufman spoke alongside:
The KPL is one of eight social enterprises profiled in Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities. The KPL is also one of the beneficiaries of the book’s profits.
Back to News & EventsThis book makes an all too rare and important point: One of the distinguishing characteristics of social entrepreneurs is the way their actions and their example pave the way for peace. Kaufman gives us multiple examples here to demonstrate that the kind of empathetic leadership exhibited by these social entrepreneurs builds an alternative to conflict and contributes to the stability and security of societies.”
