A Message From Dream Village
We are proud to announce that Dream Village has won the October Ideablob competition. Functionally, that means $10,000 in start-up funding. But of greater importance, the win means credibility and recognition for Dream Village. For example, we are in the process of confirming a formal check presentation at Wharton for this Friday, during the Net Impact Conference.
We simply cannot say this strongly enough: this win, this victory, would not have been possible—not even fathomable—without a passionate support network of friends and family. You advocated for us. You ralliedsupport for our project in what Ideablob has said was their most competitive competition to date. You gave our vision and our organization, momentum. You deserve our most heartfelt thank you.
You can visit our interim Website to receive updates and stay informed: http://www.dream-village.org/
We are also in the process of looking for equity investors. Dream Village is a for-profit social enterprise, which means we believe we can build “the perfect business plan”, one that does well by our employees, investors, and the causes/charitable organizations we will support. If you know of anyone who may be interested, this is an opportunity for people to rethink how they “give” and invest.
One last thing…we found a partner through this Ideablob contest who’s actually running again this month. If you have a moment, vote for Kiba Kiba Books. Remember, you don’t have to register this time! Phew!http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/3407-KIBA-KIBA-BOOKS-Illustrated-b
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
