This blog has been set up in order to share what i find interesting in terms of social causes. there are three causes that i have an interest in - education, empowerment of women and HIV/AIDS. My interest in these issues was peaked earlier this year when I read two books: Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn and 28: Stories of AIDS in Africa by Canadian author, Stephanie Nolen. I had always had an interest in social change and social causes in general, but they were just that - an interest. After reading these two books, my interest peaked into a passion. It has led to actually figure out what i want to do with my life - work in the non profit sector. I would ideally like to end up working for one or all of these causes in some sort of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) setting with a company or directly with an NGO or developmental organization to affect the change i think i can make.

However cheesy as all of that sounds, this blog has been started so that i could share with you (whoever you may be) interesting articles, videos, campaigns, ideas and causes that i come across. i firmly believe that inspiration and motivation can come from anything. i just hope that a video or article read her will inspire someone to create a social change in their community.
