The Empty Bowls Project: Creating, Leading, and Sustaining a Social Enterprise
讲述一个始于高中午餐会的草根项目如何成长为国际反饥饿运动,并探讨其创始人在考虑继任和未来方向时的经验。
Lisa and John never envisioned that a luncheon held 20 years ago at their local high school would grow into The Empty Bowls Project, an international grassroots effort to fight hunger. The premise is simple in that potters, educators, students, and others create handcrafted bowls and serve a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for cash donations, attendees take home the bowl to recall all the empty bowls in the world. Monies raised are donated to community–based organizations working toward food security. The founders subsequently formed the nonprofit Imagine Render and now are considering their succession and future direction.
