For a while, I have been thinking of finding a social undertaking that would help me grow as a person. One of the ideas that I cam across was during our trip to Costa Rica. In 1990s, a group of kids in order to protect the forests collected funds to buy back land in Costa Rica and plant the forest again. Today, it is called the International Children's Forest and occupies a huge area and thus prevents deforestation. I thought it was such a great idea and may be I can do a similar thing in other countries. However, for such an idea to sustain itself I need to develop a business model around such initiative so that local population have incentive to protect the natural resources. Without the involvement of local community such idea is not sustainable.
I would love to hear more ideas on this or if someone else out there who is passionate about this issue would like to work on this let me know.
