Sam Goldman Social Entrepreneur

After several years in the Peace Corp Sam Goldman found a need and through education and determination he was able to make a difference in world. Sometimes before we get our ah ha moment we need to be active. Meaning we need to get involved in doing before the idea presents itself. This is a lesson well know among social entrepreneurs. It is hard to sit back an generate a unique and useful idea while being only a spectator. Sam Goldman's social venture really took shape after time spent among the very people he wished to aid. He had to understand their needs and their situations before he could invent solutions. Congratulations Sam Goldman and good luck.
