Inderjit Khurana (India), Teacher Turned Organizer

I am reminded of the time I witnessed a man disturb his own schedule to help a stranger.  The stranger was not well-dressed and did not present himself as one with money.  In fact, he looked homeless and quite possibly dangerous.

Yet this man took it upon himself to not only help this stranger, but to spend his own money to house him as well as pay for his medical expenses.

Some say the risk is not worth helping others, and others say that we are here not to be served, but to serve others.

Inderjit Khurana is but one person committed to serving others by helping children by bringing schools to the train platforms upon which these children beg and live.

Is this type of social entrepreneurship sustainable?

The teachers are paid 80 cents per day.  For the price of an iPad, 2 teachers can be paid a full annual salary.  Yet, Apple is breaking records in the sales number of these technological gizmos.

Priorities?

What are your thoughts?

Chef and scholar, Dan Barber recalls his trip to Spain where he fell in love with a fish.  Take a look at this inspiring and humor-filled video about how the best-tasting fish is also the most sustainable where success is measured by the pink bellies of flamingos.

Nature got it right?  Hmmm, maybe there’s something here.
