ACT6: Donation Lifespring
I donated to the Ac**en Fund because it was philosophically in sync with the way I think.
Whilst this fund isn't specifically for women there are investments made from the fund to provide patient capital to ventures specifically for women.
e.g. Lifespring
I have a touch of guilt approaching this from a throw money at it perspective. I rationalise my lack of active involvement with my lack of time. The projects I am passionate about and I spend all my spare time on are not women specific but due to inequity will offer more for women in the form of self-perception than it will for men. I continue on that quest.

Great minds think alike (and apparently so do ours). Have you seen Jacqueline Novogratz's (Ac**en's founder) TED talk? You might enjoy it.

This is a fantastic post with a very aesthetically created video of the Ac**en Fund. Yes I endorse Ac**en Fund personally as well and have always admired how they have actually integrated resourcefulness as core competence and through their actions have inspired every donor to give more. Ac**en's India team is simply superb with very strong execution skills. Thanks Greg for putting this video into context. Definitely +1 for building the collaboration momentum.

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
