A blog with a mission

Petare_3   

The current social and economic situation of our world is both desperate and fortunate.   The situation is desperate for some 4,000 million people, moderate for 1,750 million and fortunate for only a 100 million as reflected in the purchasing power pyramid of the world population.  This contradiction is visible in various degrees around the world.  Pick a city and you will find both the first and third world neighboring each other.  The market and the government policies have been able to address the needs of the moderate and fortunate portion of the population.  But 4 Billion people still face misery and lack every access to opportunities and solutions.  We need new paradigms for their inclusion in the moderate and fortunate tiers of the pyramid.  Creating new means to reduce poverty, inequalities and the byproduct vulnerabilities of the Latin American communities drives my thoughts and professional work. 

I want to use this space to communicate and connect with all of you interested in this goal.  I want to share about the problems, the ideas and the solutions, and learn from you.  I want to explore the possibilities and invite you to be part of the explorations.  I believe amazing things will happen when we work together and connect human talent, technology and capital around common goals.   The mission of this blog shall be to contribute in this creation, the creation of new opportunities that increase the social and economic wealth of our currently underserved communities in Latin America and around the world. 

If you find yourself connected with these ideas,  let's communicate and work together.
