Pragmatic Idealism: On Doing Good Well | Dory Gannes | TEDxUofM

Описание: Dory talks about her experiences volunteering in Africa, and realizing that her "doing good" was helping her a lot more than the people she thought she was helping. She challenges us to go out and better the world, instead of changing it.

Dory currently works at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation where she connects people and companies to philanthropic opportunities. She previously worked for the UN Foundation and founded The Olevolos Project, an organization providing scholarships to Tanzanian kids, while earning a BA at U of M. She has an MA from the Fletcher School and an EdM from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
