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 & 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.”
