Hello Everyone,
This is my first official post on the “Connect The World” blog. I’ve been blogging for a while on personal and startup topics at http://isfanstartup.blogspot.com and am trying out WordPress for the first time.
I’ll be using this blog to meet you and share ideas about a mission that I have: build on online community for youngs kids all over the world so they can learn, play and get to know each other so they can make the world a better place.
The presentation below tells you a bit about myself and my goals. I have entered it in SlideShare’s “worlds best presentation” competition. Please register at slideshare to vote and help get the word out. The contest ends July 31, 2008 (really really soon) so please don’t wait.
Don’t forget to vote!!!!
Thanks!

Ok, I will join with you. I am like minded and feel that it is through connections and getting to know one another that the barriers will disappear. Sleeves rolled up– where do we begin?

Hi Allan,
Great presentation. Welcome to the world changing business
There is a lot of work being done in this area that you may be aware of, (or not).
Specifically I would look at the Ashoka teen program, the book “how to change the world” by David Bornstein is great. Also the Free the Children charity from Toronto is a great group doing work on teaching empathy & empowerment to children to get them involved in global issues. http://www.freethechildren.com/index.php
If you would ever like to chat about social entrepreneurship, technologies for social change or the venture industry, drop me a note.
