2-min. description of Social Actions (Peter Deitz & Christine Egger; Video by Hatef Yamini for Frogloop.com)
A little background
I used to be exclusively involved with for-profit, small business development (with lots of volunteering for nonprofits on the side), but then took a year to backpack through about 20 countries... Came back with a new professional commitment to non-profit international development work... Earned a master’s in international development, researching the influence that chaos and quantum theories could have on the way we go about making the world a better place... Led to a strong interest in the way the Internet is facilitating decentralized development and philanthropic initiatives... Led to a full-time and long-term commitment to building Social Actions. Thank you, Peter Deitz, for creating that opportunity!
