You see, through innovation in our classrooms, we would have developed productive manpower in all sectors of the economy. And we'd be trying to help other communities all over Africa to achieve that too. So anyway, in 2020 all sectors of my nation's economy are flourishing! We're producing enough organic food to feed ourselves, our children, for our industries and some to export.… Continue

What you have matters more than what you lack - If you’ve got a bicycle, consider what you can build based on that. That's very important for a social innovator. The most important thing is to get started - with whatever you have
