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 splendid book is more than a primer on social entrepreneurship for human rights in the developing world. It is also a compendium of searing testimony about the immense practical challenges that idealistic changemakers can overcome by dint of their unflagging energy, incandescent visions of humanity and justice, and on-the-ground skills and resourcefulness. Zachary Kaufman has performed a great public service in orchestrating this admirable volume about how hope for the future can be vindicated even under the most unpromising conditions.”
