We're fortunate to have entered into a close partnership in Haiti with Mohammed Yunus' organization that's promoting social business, Grameen Creative Lab.

I look forward to spending some time with him in 3-weeks when he's here in Haiti. To learn more about our partnership with them and how one of their business consultants is focusing full-time efforts during the next year to help our partner schools create successful social businesses and integrate entrepreneurship into their curriculum click here: http://www.haitipartners.org/2011/09/philippe-lagrenade-joins-gclh-and-hp/

Warm regards from sunny Mariaman, Haiti,

John
PS On a different note, we just had ground breaking ceremony for Children's Academy where open space practice will be central in all we do. Children's Academy will also have a social business. Here's video and photos:
