Congrats to “Lethal Sheethal” Shobowale: Winner of The Blue Sweater Book Giveaway

As part of taking a look at movement building, I did a book giveaway for  The Blue Sweater by Jacqueline Novogratz.  She was also subject of one of the guest posts that week from Think Social.  A few months back, Lucy Bernholz introduced me to her book and James Wu from the Acumen Fund who kindly sent me a copy of The Blue Sweater and this profile in the Economist. 

Congratulations to Lethal Sheethal who will get my copy of the book.  She was in the audience at the  Paley Center for Media during the conversation titled  “Building a Movement in an Interconnected World" with Jacqueline Novogratz, the founder and CEO of the Acumen Fund, and  Pat Mitchell.  She wrote up a summary of notes on her blog.   Here's why she wanted the book:

I went to see the conversation with Jacqueline Novogratz at the Paley Center and wrote a summary of the discussion on my blog. I would love to read the text that she has been working on for 10 years. The Acumen Fund's projects are inspiring and a great model for social entrepreneurs around the world.

She was recently accepted to be a Kiva Fellow and starting this October, and will be volunteering in Latin America for 6 months with two of Kiva's partner.
