Fisherman Foundation Website
2009.12.30
Recently, we have had the privilege of working with The Fisherman Foundation to build their new website. The foundation provides a multi-dimensional perspective on approaching global poverty. The idea comes from the Chinese proverb: “ Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and you have fed him for a lifetime.” By seeking new definitions of poverty and self-sustenance, The Fisherman Foundation allows involvement from all aspects of the cause. A non-profit organization, patrons can intern with the program, become a partner (the current project is located in the Philippines), contribute monetary donations, or enter a competition to become a pioneer of change. 100% of all donations go towards the cause.
The current project in the Philippines brings The Fisherman Foundation and SEVEN (Social Equality Venture) Fund together looking for entrepreneurial ideas connecting the poor to networks of opportunities. The plan is to bring the best of the best ideas together to implement a plan that will truly bring lasting socioeconomic betterment.
Musetrek in the News
2009.09.30
It has been great to see our project, MuseTrek garner attention. It is written up in Hemispheres, the American Airline In-flight magazine. Created by students at Harvard, MuseTrek allows users to publish their explorations and commentary “Treks” around museums. The results range from artistic to hilarious (check out The Madonna Fashion Trek – using paintings of the Virgin Mary as a means of fashion commentary). The idea behind this MuseTrek business is creating a new way to explore art and exhibits, and being able to share knowledge to create a new kind of culture, Museum 2.0. The site is accessible in both English and French.
