I haven't written in a while. I was busy throughout the summer, working at Credit Suisse in Debt Capital Markets for Latin America, and haven't written since. The summer experience was outstanding, the knowledge acquired was growing, and in retrospect how I see things now is very refreshing. In the midst of the global debt crisis, I got to work at one of the top banks and be exposed to the most critical problems our world was facing. I learned first hand from some of the most capable...

The recent conference and international competition we organized at the University of Chicago, Road to Innovative Social Entrepreneurship - Pakistan (www.rise-pak.com), just got some exposure in 5 or 6 Pakistani newspapers, which other than being gratifying recognition of our work, is a great furthering of the conversation we started both about humanitarian work in Pakistan and Social Entrepreneurship by the global community.

Adapted from an excerpt by Jonathan Good What percentage of people who have ever lived are alive today? We know that sometime this year the world population will tick past 7 billion [1]. We know that there are a whole billion more of us than there were in 1999, as if a new China has appeared out of nowhere. The UN forecasts that the world population is expected to rise further, and further, to a whopping 10.1 billion in 2100 [2]. But what about the past? How many humans have walked on this...

Un amigo compartió conmigo esta historia, y la quiero hacer llegar a todos ustedes, para dar una perspectiva sobre como la crisis económica se soluciona. Es agosto, en una pequeña ciudad de la costa, en plena temporada; cae una lluvia torrencial y hace varios días que la ciudad parece desierta. Hace rato que la crisis viene azotando este lugar, todos tienen deudas y viven a base de créditos. Por fortuna, llega un ruso mafioso forrado de guita y entra en el único pequeño hotel del lugar.

The humble roots of the RISE competition can be traced back to a shared desire to assist Pakistani flood relief efforts in an attempt to lessen the immediate and long-term devastations of one of the largest natural disasters in recent history. I was introduced to Aliya Bagewadi by a mutual friend who was aware that we both had a joint desire to take action to not only bring light to the tragic aftermath of the Pakistani floods, but to give the young social entrepreneurs and leaders of...
