Affordable mobile dialysis service BP by Dr. Edu

One of the #sbusinessplans that I am looking forward to see is that of Dr. Edu Tuazon (the #entrepreneur behind #Ralos #cassava cake) on #mobile and #affordable #dialysis.  I hope his example can inspire change in the #mindset of health and medical practitioners.  Maybe the example of #DrDavidShetty on the $10 dialysis (yes you read it right - roughly PHP500) in #Narayana hospital in India, where billions of people are poor and can hardly afford medical care inspired him to write a bp which is very much a #socialenterprise

Challenges to the Entrepreneurship Elective Course

Angesono Rizal Philippines   |  Black Saturday

I took the chance of grading and correcting the papers of an entrep course this office handled early December to February.  There are  only a few of them and I am sure the school lost on the class because their number did not reach the break even.

The class was a great class they were lively and very dynamic and mostly middle to senior execs in their organization.  May be the rigors of teaching ie the assessment and grading makes the idea of teaching challenging.  If we could only be like Plato or Aristotle or the Chinese master whose only test is life/or a boxing match itself.... And if only students would not be grade conscious.  (It reminds me of a conversation from an MBA student I conversed in the elevator, who said she would enroll in entrep if it were an easy 4...)

 The comments I earlier made on BP early on may not have reached them

Pampering the poor can make them dependent - From a social entrepreneur

Rizal  Philippines   April 19, 2014

Today is Black Saturday.  The Lord is not with us today. Time to reflect.

Sometime early this week, Fr. Javy Alpasa spoke on TV about "pampering the poor" can make them dependent.

The social entrepreneurs from the Ashoka Foundation, advocate not only teaching those who have less in  life how to fish but even going one step further:  revolutionizing, innovating the fishing industry.  Giving him fish, gives him only a meal.  Teaching him how to fish gives him a lifetime.

Giving, pampering the poor is the way of the politicians.  It strengthens the politics of patronage and feudalism where the farmers/poor depend on the landlords.  Thus it is to the best interest of the landlords the powerful and rich to keep the masses poorer and ignorant.
