Great quotes: "Creative idea(s) that serve a social purpose."
"Quiet moments of innovation."
I was empowered by the story of the man who created the playground water pump for the South African community. It was a rigorous and wearing task for the women to walk so far for water and it not even be very clean. So, this man created a piece of playground equipment that pumps the fresh water into the well while the kids play on it. Their spinning makes the water pump.
Over 10 million people will have clean drinking water that have not had it for their entire life. 16.4 million dollars were given to his cause by the Laura Bush to create: "Play Pumps".
