Effectively Present Your Meaningful Work to the Media

If you could share with the world something meaningful you are doing, how would you do it?

Once a 75-year-old lady, who dedicated her entire life to a social development program, told me the only thing she regrets is not having told the world about all the amazing stories and achievements she accomplished.

News from Chile

Nico Riethmuller updates the Community from his home in Santiago de Chile.

In January, I decided to dedicate myself entirely to Jewish education and over the past few months I have been busy launching various groups and projects.

Last month, I started a study and discussion group for about 30 young Jews (between the ages of 20 and to 30-something). The group meets twice a month to discuss critical and relevant topics like international terrorism, religion, politics, etc. and to meet with a panel of selected speakers.

Gaining Support for Sustainability Online

Manuela Zoninsein, recipient of an ROI Micro Grant, writes about her experiences at the CCW conference.

Attending the Creating Climate Wealth (CCW) conference last week in Washington, DC gave me the confidence to trust I can walk the walk as much as I can talk the talk, insofar as sustainable agriculture is concerned. Given that AgriGate Asia, my online business intelligence newsletter and publication, seeks to attract an audience of environmental and agricultural experts, scientists, academics, policy-makers, investors and non-profits, it’s critical to my success that I interact with them and test my ideas out on them.

And that’s exactly what I did.

Viva El Toratron!

Evelyn Goldfinger, the beautiful, poised and talented founder of El Toratron, a theater company (teatron, in Hebrew) that draws from the legacy of the Torah, was recently interviewed on television in Buenos Aires. In this clip, she tells about the origins of the theater company, her approach in developing plays to perform, and one moment that made it all worthwhile. (The clip is in Spanish, with English subtitles.)

(If you'd like to meet or speak with Eve, she'll be at this summer's ROI Summit in Israel, and will be available for interviews and meetings in July after the Summit: contact her at eltoratron@gmail.com.)
