I trully believe that when you are a entrepreneur, you
are always trying to make your dreams to come true!
I became a volunteer in 1982, a business entrepreneur in 1985
and a social entrepreneur in 1998. In 2006 I had a dream to
introduce online volunteering and launch an internet portal in
Brazil.
Then I took it seriously, like my others for profits inniatives.
We benchmarked, created a business plan, estabilished strategic
partnerships and looked for sustentability.
Afterward we started to engage volunteers and NGOs through the
internet
