The Floor is Lava 跳脫舒適圈的大白鯊 | Juan Diego Prudot | TEDxTKU

IMPCT found that many poor African, South American children before the age of 3-5 years old have education problems.
And using methods that "encourage the local businesses" and "providing rural education", they create a virtuous cycle.
IMPCT發現許多中南美洲、非洲貧民窟孩童的學齡前(3-5歲)教育問題，
便以「提振當地經濟」結合「偏鄉教育」的方式，達成良性循環。
I think of better ways technology and empathy can let humans thrive.
Perspective arrived through a full scholarship to Taiwan’s top MBA program. While doing my MBA and learning Mandarin Chinese, I became curious about social entrepreneurship. I asked a few classmates to join me in a social entrepreneurship competition: The Hult Prize, also known as “The Nobel Prize for students”. This small request turned into a life-changing journey. We won the competition and US$1 Million to launch IMPCT.
At IMPCT, we sell specialty coffee and use the profits to build schools in the places where it comes from. I am in charge of our http://bricks.impct.co platform, where people become founders of a school by laying a brick. Here, I use my experience to grow a business with a purpose, generate awareness, and create opportunities for children to build a better future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
