Indego Africa at ASEF

Focused on action rather than just talk, and bringing together an overflow crowd of hyped-up social entrepreneurs, the first ever Africa Social Enterprise Forum (ASEF) yesterday at the Desmond Tutu Center in NYC was a rocking success.

Indego Africa had a blast. Matt waxed poetic on a "Structural & Legal Considerations" panel. Mike Foresta - the youngest member of NYC's Regional Board - manned our table in the Enterprise Lounge and sold Indego Africa's first Laptop Sleeve, a product concept that he and the women developed together during his visit to Rwanda in July. I did a little "speed mentoring" and then just wandered around and enjoyed the social enterprising buzz.

A tremendous thank you to Jerryanne Heath, Magogodi Makhene, the ASEF Executive Committee, and AngelAfrica for organizing such an important conference that will impact the social enterprise community - and Africa - for years to come.
