Social Entrepreneurship

I've really been fascinated lately reading about social entrepreneurship. It always amazes me when I happen upon a line of inquiry that others have been discussing for some time. Social entrepreneurship is a movement of the last twenty years, especially, whereby the non-profit sector crosses over into the business sector to both assist itself in achieving its social goals and to provide a revenue stream for itself. I happened upon it once when I was surfing on the solar bakery coop project we are planning in Cameroon. We want to create jobs -- careers, really -- while we discourage deforestation, and take some initiative to earn money for projects. So I landed on the book Social Entrepreneurship. It really provided me with an understanding about this phenomenon. I could hardly put it down! I like it so much that when my husband gave me a Kindle I bought it again so I could have it with me in Cameroon.  Kindle edition. Since then I've found other great resources.  More on them some other time.
