At the request of someone I know, I just voted at this site:
http://www.changemakers.net/ratings/voteInfo.cfm?type=health
This is a competition between innovative 'social entrepreneurs' in the healthcare area. The ones that get the most votes will get a $5000/- grant. There are 12 finalists. While its pretty confusing to read 12 business plans one after the other and gauge which are good and which are not, its also quite educative and encouraging. It seems lots of people have basically sensible ideas that don't take a lot of outside money, and are implementing them seriously. In some cases they have reached significant scale. Quite inspiring. Take a look if you have the interest and perhaps vote too.
PS: Went to the Max Mueller event and found it quite interesting. Hope to blog about it later. For now, off to Timbaktu again for 5-6 days. Also, things are on track for my trip to Himachal etc. in early July.
