July 3, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace There's no disaster that can't become a blessing, and no blessing that can't become a disaster. - Richard Bach - A Refugee Turned Social Entrepreneur Amber Chand is an entrepreneur in the United States with a unique business model: "She scans the headlines for conflicts around the world and responds. "I swoop in and then identify a group of talented, skilled artisan women who live there [in conflict zones] and who are clearly going to have to rebuild their lives in the shadow of either war or genocide or civil strife," she explains. The Amber Chand Collection partners with women in places ranging from Afghanistan to Colombia to Gaza. But her devotion toward these women flows from her own life story." { read more } Be The Change The next time you hear of someone going through a difficult situation, reach out in some way, big or small, to help.

July 2, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace The best gifts come from the heart, not the store. - Sarah Dessen - One Student's Unforgettable Graduation Gift Brenna Martin's dad evidently doesn't like last-minute shopping. Bryan Martin purchased a gift for his daughter's high school graduation -- which happened earlier this month -- thirteen years ago.

July 1, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. - Albert Einstein - What I've Learned About Learning "I'm a lifelong learner and am always obsessively studying something, whether that's breadmaking or language or wine or chess or writing or fitness. Here are two key lessons -- both really the same lesson -- I've learned about learning, in all my years of study and in trying to teach people: Almost everything I've learned, I didn't learn in school; and almost everything my students (and kids) have learned, they learned on their own. Those two lessons (or one lesson) have a number of reasons and implications for learning. Let's take a look at some of them, in hopes you might find them useful." Zen Habits' Leo Babauta shares more. { read more } Be The Change Implement some of Babauta's suggestions for learning in your own life.
