[November 14, 2008] Gabriela Ender, founder and CEO of OpenSpace-Online GmbH - The Power of People!, has been accepted into the international Ashoka Fellowship Support Network as >> Ashoka Fellow 2008 <<. Ashoka is the largest organization in the world for supporting social entrepreneurship. Ashoka was founded in 1980 by the Bill Drayton, USA. The Harvard Center for Public Leadership rates Drayton as one of the "20 Best Leaders" of the USA. The best-known member of the Ashoka-network is the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Muhammad Yunus. In almost 70 countries, around 2000 Ashoka Fellows work to promote social and sustainable change in fields such as health, education & youth, economic development, environmental protection, regional and urban development, citizen participation, and human rights. At the beginning of 2008, Gabriela Ender was invited by Ashoka to take part in a multi-level, national and international selection process. She has been through a very intense seven-month process, including a practical OpenSpace-Online® project for Ashoka. Gabriela was able to win against around 300 competitors throughout Germany. Worldwide, more than 7,000 candidates were evaluated.
Konstanze Frischen, Managing Director of Ashoka in Germany and Vice President of Ashoka International says: "Gabriela Ender has been selected by Ashoka because she has developed a unique communication system that brings people together across borders and allows them to jointly come up with constructive solutions to their problems. With OpenSpace-Online she makes a significant contribution to helping social organisations and businesses cope with change - she allows these institutions to make more effective and democratic decisions by involving all stakeholders."

Do extend my congratulations to Gabriela too for becoming an Ashoka Fellow! We have quite a few Ashoka Fellows here in Nepal, too and one of them is my friend Rita Thapa whom I mentioned in some of my blogs and who is the founder of the two charities that I support.
Hi Mila,
will do so!
The World Economic Forum in Switzerland/Davos

Good luck for your own endevors.
