Community wellbeing: Why each of us matter

There is this interesting book, Bottom of the pyramid, at the heart of it; it doesn’t try to touch upon a newly discovered problem. It just states may be a lot better given the statistics that are very well compiled in the work.
So what the work reinstates is that the poor and the less privileged section of the society is where our future will be, and empowering these people is where we collectively as a society will be able to move forward.
Talk of Microcredit(The Gramin Bank), or eChoupal, at the core they imply a change, and a shift in focus from ME to the less blessed in the space around us.

We draw our identity from the space we live in and this is why this section should be empowered, for we do not do everything in self interest. There is an immense difference that can be made using entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of this miserable section. The project I am planning aims at physically impaired people, providing basic education to these people, generating employment opportunities and consulting suicidal attempt cases.

I was just exploring how we can use social media, Acting Wikily; to amplify the cause and raise funds. I do not quite believe in charity, because when you ONLY give monetary support you are feeding someone for a day or two, but when you teach him, a vocation, or provide him/her employment opportunities, you are feeding him all his life and this is my vision. To begin with, feeding 15 families an year for the rest of their lives, inculcating in them high motivation levels, and making them self reliant.
As years go by, I hope to be able to touch more lives, and hope that what I am trying to do will be simulated in the space we put up in.

In essence I wish to redefine community wellbeing and I am looking for off beat ideas in improving community service and making it exemplary, because this is what I can be my personal BEST it.

I m amazed at the amount of energy each one of us here has got with them. Given that we belong to varied backgrounds, cultures and bring varied experiences in the forum, there is a lot we can do together.
I am here to learn from you, and how do I make my project more visible, adaptable, and truly inspiring.
Yes, I need you .


If the path is beautiful,first confirm where it leads,but if the destination is beautiful,dont bother how the path is..Keep walking..
