I spend time desperately trying to capture some of these insights myself, or give someone an action item (send me an email on that and I’ll do it). Running through the hall, I ran into Kristine Pearson of the Freeplay Foundation (hand and solar powered radios for mainly Africa), and heard about her new radio/MP3 player with 32 GB of storage.

Note from Beth: One of the things that I enjoyed most about IFCAsia was the networking opportunities to connect with other people in the region who share interests. We know that young people like Generation Z are future donors, so programs that help introduce philanthropy at a young age will a big pay off down the road.

I invite people along for the ride. A group of us touring, studying, and volunteering in Cape Town, South Africa Seriously! Most people have a cause they are passionate about--they just don't know where to begin. Seeing people realize that they can do good no matter where they are is a blessing. How is this fun?

If web users knew of someone else who needed help, 44 percent would ask other people in their social network to contact authorities, 35 percent would post a request for help directly on a response agency’s Facebook page and 28 percent would send a direct Twitter message to responders. Social media, like all technology, is developed by people.

The Science Center World Congress looked standard in makeup--keynotes, plenaries, parallel panels--and yet the content was made distinctly different by the people involved. This supposedly international meeting of 400 people featured mostly white and western faces. And these conversations weren't exclusive to the program events.

As a company with many individuals personally invested in nonprofit work, we had tons of people who were excited to act as team captains as well as a community of people who would motivate one another as they competed to help their team raise as much money as possible. People need that reminder and extra nudge to take action!

When I went to see Van Jones speak for the first time at the Green Festival in November 2002 about, "Green Jobs, Not Packed Jails," people in the States were just starting to lift their heads up from a year of fear and despair after September 11th. We want our young people to be in the front of the line for the new clean and green jobs.
