On Tuesday, July 16, 2013, starting at 6:00 PM, Dr. Zachary D. Kaufman, editor of Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities, will deliver a 5-minute “Pitch” about the Kigali Public Library (one of the book’s case studies). The event will be held at the Case Foundation (1717 Rhode Island Avenue, NW, 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20036) and will be co-sponsored by Young Professionals in Foreign Policy and Pitch Salon.
Back to News & EventsHow can anyone make a difference in a world marked by genocide, civil war, refugee crises, disease epidemics? With conscience, hope, and sweat equity, Dr. Zachary Kaufman and the other contributors to this book have offered aid, created organizations serving victims of human rights violations, and learned from set-backs and failures. Their insight into challenges of sustainable fund-raising, organizational design and management, and skepticism about young Western volunteers can inspire and instruct others who hope to address suffering and injustice through initiative, analysis, and commitment.”
