南非維多利亞大瀑布
維多利亞瀑布(Victoria Falls)位於非洲三比西河的中游,尚比亞與辛巴威之間,是世界三大瀑布之一。它寬約1.7公里,高約128公尺。
1855年蘇格蘭探險家大衛·李文斯頓成為首位見到維多利亞瀑布的歐洲人,並以維多利亞女王的名字為之命名。當地人則稱它為莫西奧圖尼亞(Mosi-oa Tunya),意為「像雷霆般轟轟作響的煙霧」。
維多利亞瀑布也是尚比亞的莫西奧圖尼亞國家公園和辛巴威的維多利亞瀑布國家公園的一部分。1989年,聯合國教科文組織將維多利亞瀑布和這兩個國家公園列入世界遺產的名錄。它們是南部非洲最重要的旅遊點之一。
ヴィクトリアの滝(ヴィクトリアのたき、英: Victoria Falls、現地語:Mosi-oa-Tunya)は、ジンバブエ共和国とザンビア共和国の国境にある滝。ユネスコの世界遺産に登録されている。
The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders, and note that the 'i' is silent) is a waterfall located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are the largest in the world.

Dr. Darin Gunesekera gave a talk on new directions in social entrepreneurship. He discussed how social entrepreneurship has become an important movement in economics and business as it brings passion and a focus on realities back to these sometimes dull subjects. It originated as a response to the failures of large NGOs and organizations to actually end poverty, as they spent most of their time on fundraising rather than work. Social entrepreneurship, as pioneered by Bill Drayton, recognized that the citizen sector was narrowing the return-on-investment gap with the private sector. It asserts this sector now has opportunities in technology and using empathy. Dr. Gunesekera showed a video of Bill Drayton discussing the origins
Inaugural Speech for DBA program at University of Colombo. A Survey and View of the Field from the standpoint of a Financial Capital and Economic Society specialist. It is a Developing Countries Viewpoint.
This was done by Social Residents by directing a photographer and providing all Captions. Site - REEL, Colombo, Sri Lanka. Done about 3 to 4 years after moving in. They called it. "Transformed Lives" in their own language.
1) The document proposes a real estate exchange called RRX in Rwanda to redevelop slum areas by trading slum dwellers' land for modern housing units, similar to a project called REEL in Sri Lanka.
2) REEL/RRX would acquire vacant land from slum dwellers in exchange for providing them decent housing plus shares in the development. The vacated land would then be sold to real estate investors.
3) The REEL project in Sri Lanka successfully redeveloped a slum area, generating a 183% return for investors while transforming residents' living conditions from shanty housing to a middle-class, hygienic neighborhood.
Culinary Truths produces cinnamon sustainably and ethically. Traditional cinnamon harvesting involves child labor and health risks from peeling bark. Culinary Truths established a factory using innovative tools that allow workers to remove cinnamon bark more easily and hygienically. The factory provides a safe working environment where workers can take breaks and are happy. Cinnamon is dried and packaged at the factory soon after harvesting to produce a high quality product without exploiting workers.
This document discusses creating a "social real estate investment trust" (S-REIT) and "People's Stock Exchange" to finance affordable housing for low-income communities and slum dwellers. It describes a pilot project in Sri Lanka that constructed 675 apartments for slum dwellers, vacating 4000 people from slum sites. The project was financially self-sustaining and transformed lives. It argues that stock exchanges should target those most in need and view themselves as "living social institutions" that can unlock land value and financing to solve housing shortages.
This document discusses creating a "social real estate investment trust" (S-REIT) and stock exchange to provide housing and financing for slum communities. It describes a pilot housing project that constructed 675 apartments and vacated 4000 people from slum sites, generating financial returns that exceeded the initial investment. It argues that a "living stock exchange" could transform communities by unlocking the value in land and addressing the urgent housing needs of the most marginalized groups. The goal is to make capital markets work for those communities and customers that need it most.
The document proposes a solution called a Social Real Estate Investment Trust (S-REIT) to address the affordable housing crisis. The S-REIT allows existing social housing residents, landowners, and investors to exchange shares in a trust that redevelops land and provides residents with new, higher-quality housing. By facilitating these exchanges, the S-REIT creates a capital marketplace that generates profits used to continually redevelop areas and improve living conditions without relying on state or donor funding. The proposal argues the S-REIT model has been successfully implemented in Asian cities and presents opportunities for Chinese firms to participate in meaningful international housing projects.
The document proposes a Social Real Estate Investment Trust (SREIT) model to address the global issue of urban slums. The SREIT would work by establishing a trust between landowners, housing authorities, and slum residents to redevelop land and provide residents with new, higher quality housing. This trust would be represented as tradable shares on a stock exchange, allowing residents to become investors. The model was tested successfully in a project that redeveloped 675 apartments for 4000 people, generating profits that could be reinvested into further redevelopment. The document argues the SREIT is a market-based solution driven by social entrepreneurship rather than state spending or foreign aid, and aims to bring marginalized communities into mainstream
This document discusses low-income housing solutions for developing markets, focusing on examples in Kenya, India, and Sri Lanka. It proposes a real estate investment trust (REIT) model where low-income communities form a trust, issue shares to investors, and use the funds to develop high-quality, affordable housing. The Sri Lanka example transformed 675 shanty homes into an apartment complex, generating profits to regenerate surrounding neighborhoods. The REIT model provides financing from investors, develops and manages housing, and allows tenants to eventually own homes, transforming slum communities.
Cinnamon is a great health food. But do you know how it is produced? Two Ashoka Fellow Social Entrepreneurs Darin Gunesekera & KDN Weerasinghe have created the only cinnamon that is socially responsible. It is a connoisseur rank food. It is medically recommended as well. Centuries of oppression have been ended by a simple invention and management technology.
