Social entrepreneurship in China
Kristi Heims of Seattle Times gives nice examples of how some Chinese companies are taking responsibility towards creating a socially responsible business and also the role of the entrepreneurs in this area.

One interesting one was the following: In Guangxi Province in southern China, a wealthy businessman who sells motorcycles has organized 20 volunteers who look after children and help clean the homes of the elderly.

A new generation of Chinese leaders is looking for creative approaches to address poverty, pollution and other problems unleashed by the fierce juggernaut of growth. One example is related to the recent earthquake that ravaged Sichuan Province. The tragedy unleashed a huge wave of volunteers in China as tens of thousands of people donated time and labor to the recovery. Some of these groups had serious support of the companies as well.

I understand that the environment and type of the opportunities in China might be different with the ones in the U.S., so I appreciate if you share your experience with us so that we can publish on this blog.
