Today we lost one of the greatest human beings in recent history. Sir Fazle Abed, founder of @BRACworld, you will be missed. Your humility will be always remembered! mobile.reuters.com/article/a…

Sir Fazle was a humanitarian who helped us learn about development work: Building an efficient organization while never forgetting who you were doing it for. We were saddened to hear of his passing and will forever draw inspiration from his work, as will the rest of the world.

"Most people think the global water crisis is only an issue in other countries...that everyone in the US has access to running water & a flush toilet. That's simply not true – over 2M Americans still don’t." - @GMcGinge, Founder of @DigDeepH2O in @Forbes bit.ly/2OrsdAg

Or perhaps it’s time to advance a new form of free enterprise that integrates considerations of community and Planet in a formal way? Our current practices of financial capitalism are the problem—not the red herring of socialism!
A Gallup poll found that 43% of Americans thought some form of #socialism would be good for the country. Time to wake up and cultivate a new generation of leaders, #creators, & #achievers who embrace the principles of free enterprise and wealth creation. #FinancialPolicyCouncil
