Abstract

Diseases are everywhere especially in the poorest countries. Those poorest countries have no treatment to help cure it. Some are curable and some are not. There are some medicines that can help but are not sold in the market because of the low profit it would gain. Doctor Victoria Hale saw that problem and decided to make a change. She founded her own nonprofit company called The Institute of OneWorld Health. The Institute of OneWorld Health’s goal is to develop new, safe, and approved medicine to give to those countries. They hope to be a good example of other pharmaceutical companies.

Abstract SE Essay

The world today is not a good one for us, our children, and future children. Mable Yee wants everyone to participate in making this world a better place for everyone. People are being selfish and are caring about themselves instead of everyone. Although we are in a repression, we can still help each other to get through this difficult time. Lately, people have stopped voting due to some “personal” reasons. EngageHer is trying to make women, minorities, and communities go out and vote. One person cannot make a difference but if individuals combine and work together, the can make changes to benefit everyone.

Mimi Silbert Abstract

Mimi Silbert is a great example to those who think that they can’t make a difference. She is a great role model for everyone because she has worked hard in order to help others who are in need and necessitate a second chance in life. She founded the Delancey Street Foundation in San Francisco, California, in 1971 along with four other residents, and a thousand dollar loan. She sacrifices herself to help others and has spent her career cultivating a "university of the streets." She calls this university a "Harvard for losers," because the students are former armed robbers, pimps, junkies, prostitutes, and drug dealers.

Social Entrepreneur

There is an infrastructure crisis within the majority of developing nations. Roads are made out of dirt and rubble. There are rarely any sidewalks, let alone sewage that flow underneath communities. These are everyday issues that wheelchair riders face. Wheelchair riders need to push on for several kilometers to get to their destinations. These wheelchairs get easily broken due to rough terrain. For every crisis there are people who recognize a social problem and uses entrepreneurship principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make a social change—otherwise known as a Social entrepreneur. A new innovative wheelchair has made its way to the public thanks to Ralf Hotchkiss.
 
Rick- I thought rick’s presentation was very well put together. He kept my interest the whole time. His organization was also helping out a lot of people. I actually like that you don’t have to be wealthy to donate. I think I will look them up and gave them a donation.
Obada- his presentation was great. Even though we talked about the same thing he still had interesting things that I didn’t say. His presentation was well organized. He kept an even tone throughout the presentation.
Tracy- She also talked about Delancy Street. She said facts that Obada and I did not share. She was also so passionate about the topic as well. You could tell that she really cared about what was going on.
Louis- He talked about new wheelchairs that could withstand things that a normal hospital char could not do. That chair or example can go up stairs and go off-roading. He also had a very nice power point that was well organized.
Zehra- loved the festivals that she covered. I would love to go see the festival. They seem very interesting. She chose a guy because he was still doing good regardless of sex.

There were a variety of presentations in the 1-3pm MW class.
Darus and Obada both talked about Delancy Street, so did I, but we did it with different perspectives.
Ricks’s presentation on Kiva was interesting, sharing his personal experience as a lender, and encouraging us to lend as well.
Luis’s presentation was awesome. He used images to compare and contrast the features of Hotchkiss’s wheelchair design as opposed to the inflexible regular wheelchair. I liked the fact that the wheelchair is not patent which means affordability for everyone.
