Abhilasha Selected for Youth Social Entrepreneurship Award

The Abhilasha Project has been selected as one of four organizations to receive the Youth Social Entrepreneurship award at the Corporate and Community Social Responsibility Conference.

“The third annual Corporate and Community Social Responsibility (CCSR) conference will be held on Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 at Algonquin College in Ottawa to celebrate and showcase excellence in CCSR. This year's theme is Achieving Social Innovation through Corporate and Community Collaboration.”

“Participants will engage with experts from around the country and learn new ways corporations are working with the community and NGOs and how such relationships improve productivity and enhance the bottom line.  Corporations will learn about best practices and how cross-sectoral partnerships enable employees of both NGOs and corporations to better utilize their collective assets to support community building as well as social and business innovation.”

Keynote Address will be made by His Excellency Vicente Fox, President of Mexico,
2000 – 2006.
