OpenMaji @ “Social Business – Make the difference” Workshop
%A %B %e%q, %Y | 
Author The OpenMaji Project Team has participated in “Social Business – Make the difference” workshop, organized by Yunus Social Business Centre of the University of Florence and held on 28 of June 2011 at Officina Giovani in Prato.
A social business is a non-loss, non-dividend company designed to address a social objective within the highly regulated marketplace of today. Profits are used in a manner in which they may expand the company’s reach and improve the product or service to a greater extent than a traditional for-profit corporation, which is the reason why the investors receive no dividends or extra payments apart from their initial investment.
Here’s a slideshow of the event.
Enjoy!

To mark World Water Day, on March 22nd Solidarités International and its agency BDDP Unlimited will roll out a campaign to build awareness of the scourge of undrinkable water.
Today, it is estimated that 3.6 million people, including 1.5 million children under the age of 5, die every year of diseases borne by unhealthy water, making it the world’s leading cause of death.
The campaign will be seen from mid-March on TV, in cinemas, on the Internet and in print. A dedicated web site, votregouttedeau.org, will gather signatures for the petition.
