She tweets about that and I find my way to your blog. I am moving forward with intention to create a community based Soup Pantry with veggies supplied by neighborhood roof top gardens tended by local mothers & kids. Will really appreciated connecting with your ideas & experience. The Power of social media: I shared this with Pam Rollins (@pamfr) and it shows up here.

Get right back on that soapbox!! I am smiling because my "Good morning tweet" this morning was this: "If we ask the right questions, we find a world filled with teachers." Is it perhaps because in the US we feel we have all the answers, and are not open to asking? Is that just the US, or perhaps the developed world? Or is that just my perception? HG Are you kidding? Get right back on that soapbox!!

I thought it was interesting that Nelsa is an Ashoka Fellow. Ashoka (www.ashoka.org) is a well known organization (in international circles) which in its own words is ”a global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs”. It’s based in the U.S. but because its focus is global it is seen to most U.S. nonprofit leaders (and here I’ll say NPO as that’s still the mindset many are in) as something that’s relevant ‘out there’ but not here. Imagine what a program like Barrio de Paz could do if more widely shared and replicated in the U.S.? (Okay, Hildy, I’ll step off my favorite soap box before I go on for too long! but thanks for sharing this video and I hope its origin will give us all some additional food for thought…..)
