National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)
Just as Micro Lending has proven that credit is an inherent human right, NFTE is proving that the knowledge to be economically self-sufficient is a powerful tool with which to rise from economic adversity.
I have seen it with my own eyes, and I continue to help both inside and outside the classroom. And thanks to NFTE, one constant that will be with me for the rest of my life will be my desire to enable others to gain economic freedom through Democracy and Capitalism.
Tomorrow morning at 7:40 I will be in a NFTE classroom continuing to coach a few high-school students. They are working hard to formulate their business plans, and will be gathering courage to present in front of their classmates in hopes of reaching the city-wide business plan competition.
It just so happens that NFTE was selected by the Motley Fool as one of their Foolanthropy 2006 charities. This is a unique opportunity to step up and help NFTE spread empowerment and financial skills to at-risk youth.
