Have you ever seen a concourse of a leading mall turned into an event venue to celebrate Entrepreneurship & Social Entrepreneurship where celebrity MCs announce leading social entrepreneurs and awards are given to those who have created an impact?
This event was co-organized with another social entrepreneur organization called Community Entrepreneurs.
This is an extremely interesting organization: aiming to convert at least 3% of the Indonesian population into entrepreneurs in 3 years, by 2012.
"If each of these 3% create 10 more entrepreneurs, Indonesia will have 15 million creative and enterprising social workers helping another 150 million people nationwide !", contends Community Entrepreneurs.
Speaking and sharing at this session were prominent social entrepreneurs – Silverius Oscr Unggul (Onte) and Mahrizal Paru.
Both these are amazing people. More about them later..
Entrepreneurship is thriving, even in a nation where almost 20 million people remain jobless.
Indonesians are definitely not sitting around mulling about the economy. A small group of them are taking matters into their own hands and are on the road to re-shape their destiny and the destiny of their people and country !
