The recent election of President Barack Obama has given hope to millions and inspired them to address the many local and global challenges at hand. For the past two years, Wilford Welch (a U.S. Diplomat, professor of international business, and acclaimed author) and David Hopkins (a recent college graduate and aspiring social entrepreneur), have been writing a book and creating a website to inspire and support those very people who want to join this movement.
This video outlines the core concepts of their book “The Tactics of Hope: How Social Entrepreneurs Are Changing Our World”. It explains what social entrepreneurship is, why it has the power to change the world in profound ways, and how people can join the movement.
Most notably, the video highlights two inspirational and exemplary companies that have been celebrated by Oprah, Jay-Z, former President Bill Clinton, National Geographic, MTV, CNN, PBS, and NBC. The first, Playpumps, provides fresh drinking water to thousands of people in Africa via an incredibly simple, innovative, and scalable system, and the second, Kiva, facilitates peer-to-peer loans via the Internet to allow impoverished people develop their own businesses.
The Tactics of Hope website centers around a tool called “My Circle”, which is designed for individuals, at no cost, to determine what social or environmental causes theyre passionate about, where in the world they want to make a difference, and how they can do so. It’s easy to use and provides a great way for people to quickly and easily donate to, volunteer for, or collaborate with non-profit and for-profit organizations around the world.
The creators of the Tactics of Hope are encouraging others to watch their new video, pass the link on to others, and learn more about how to get involved by reading The Tactics of Hope on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1601090145 and by visiting http://www.tacticsofhope.org.

Bill Drayton, founder of Ashoka (http://www.ashoka.org) and creator of the term social entrepreneur writes:
