"This is a wonderful book by a remarkable woman. It's a story about doing enormous good while having some extraordinary experiences and even adventures. It touches the heart and the mind. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about what's really going on in the world out there." - Fareed Zakaria, Author of The Post-American World and editor of Newsweek International

Check out this interview with the author of The Blue Sweater: Bridging the Gap Between Rich and Poor in an Interconnected World and founder/CEO of the Acumen Fund, Jacqueline Novogratz.

Amazing story about the sweater!

Amazing ideas about changing the world!

Acumen Fund, a non-profit global venture fund that uses entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of global poverty, makes critical capital investments designed to change things for the better among the poorest people on planet Earth.

Fascinating stuff!
