Self Defense Legal Issues - Can You Be Prosecuted For Self Defense?

• Author Jerry Wilkins

He was hiking up a trail in Coconino County Arizona in 2004 when suddenly a growling dog charged down the path running straight towards him. He quickly pulled his handgun and fired a round in the ground. The dog then retreated to safety, suddenly an angry man came running down the trail waiving his arms threatening to kill him. Claiming self defense he fired three shots killing the attacking man.

This case received national attention, since carrying a handgun is not illegal in Arizona many viewed this as a text book legal use of deadly force. However, prosecutors disagreed and charged the shooter with 2nd degree murder. He was later convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison. This is a common misunderstanding. The vast majority of Americans does not understand the legal issues involved in the use of force for self defense.

There have been thousands prosecuted for unwarranted force used in their self defense. Most were completely shocked when they were charged with a crime. Even if they were not convicted, the cost from their legal expenses and the trauma from prosecution leave many bitter and resentful of our legal system. This is a complex legal issue that very few not trained in the law comprehend, even trained Police Officers have been charged with the unnecessary use of force, and some are in jail.

A friend of mine recently explained that if someone attempted to climb in his window in daytime or night. he would shoot them. I explained to him that even soldiers in combat have rules of engagement. It is foolhardy to assume that civilians have carte blanch permission to use any means of self defense. It is important that we realize that the threat of danger or preventing crimes do not necessarily legally warrant the use of deadly force. Legally, the use of lethal force in an unlawful situation is a reason for prosecution. It doesn't matter if the person actually dies.

Legal Use of Deadly Force

Although the laws in your state may not be exactly the same basically most are unified in this fundamental concept. You can only use deadly force in self defense for protection from serious bodily harm or death. This law also would provide for the protection of others. If someone attacked you with a lethal weapon you can use deadly force, on the other hand, if someone attacks you with their hands only in rare occasions would you be allowed to use deadly force. For example, you are beaten badly, and the assailant refuses to stop.

Legal Use of Non Lethal Force

Using non lethal self defense weapons for protection are the more reasonable approach in most situations. It is highly unlikely you will ever be charged with any crime if you use them in your defense, this includes in the few states where they are banned. The only exception might be if you started an altercation and used the weapon. However, if you did not initiate the attack, using non lethal self defense weapons would be most likely allowed. So if you want to stay out of jail the wise choice would be to use nonlethal weapons, unless protecting yourself or others from serious injury or death.

There are so many Reasons Today Why we need to Pray

• Author Douglas Iwanicki

Why pray and how do you pray? The succeeding Why Do We Pray To God article will bring enlightenment on the significance and purpose of prayer.

God is deeply longing for His beloved to seek His face, not His hands and to seek His ways, not His moves. Since creation past, our Heavenly Father has been lavishly pouring out His heart and intention for mankind and the world. God longs for an intimate and mutual love relationship with man. Every moment, His heart beats for us to respond to him in awe and wonder as we behold His magnificence while contemplating on His statutes, bowing down to his holiness, and becoming aware of Him like a man to his wife.

Though God is the Supreme Being and divine ruler of the world and all the universes beyond, He is the God in three persons (Father, Son Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit) having a personality. Unlike a watchmaker leaving behind its invention once created, God is a spiritual being demanding and requiring in love a divine connection with us. As such, we ought to relate with Him spirit-to-Spirit through a two-way communication called Prayer. / Because of that, it is of utmost importance to develop a spiritual contact with Him through what we call Prayer. Prayer is from the Latin word precare which means "to beg or entreat".

Why Pray? Primarily, because God institutionalized prayer and instructed His people to pray continually (1 Thess. 5:17) and pursue Him. (Jeremiah 29:13)

Since the Old Testament times, Bible characters discovered God in prayer and recognized ways to pray. God moved in their behalf as they lifted up the praying hands. Abraham interceded for his relative Lot along with his family and the people of Sodom and Gomorrah before its destruction (Gen. 18:16-33) and the same way with Moses who stood in the gap for the Jewish people in the desert as they disobey and complain against God (Numbers 14:11-20).

Out of perseverance in prayer, Hannah did not waver in asking God for a child and fulfilling her commitment (1 Samuel 1:1-2:11) and the said child Samuel persistently prayed for his nation and people amidst blatant rebellion and obstinacy. (1 Samuel 7:5-13) By praise and adoration, David composed and sang Psalms while Hezekiah prayed as he is concerned with the name and glory of God (1 Kings 19:14-20).

Prophet Daniel experienced a continual feast of fellowship with God through prayer and fasting (Daniel 9:3-19) while the cupbearer Nehemiah sought God's perfect will regarding his intentions to build the wall of Jerusalem for 4 months of fasting and prayer. (Nehemiah 1:10)

In the New Testament, Jesus lived a lifestyle of fasting and prayer (e.g. 40 days in the wilderness, rose up early to pray, prayed all night, prayed in Gethsemane) and taught His disciples how to pray and what to pray for as in the Lord's Prayer.

Why Pray I pray, is it the right way? If Jesus being the Son of God never failed to pray every single day of his life to overcome trials, rebuke devils, heal the afflicted, resurrect dead people, preach the Good News of salvation, operate in the supernatural, release those in bondage, and heal the brokenhearted, how much more should Christians? All those stricken by infirmities approached Jesus in a healing prayer to minister deliverance and restoration to their lives.

Our Heavenly Daddy reiterates in the Bible that we can humbly, boldly, and confidently come to Him for our every need-just pursue, pray, request, call on, look for, and be in Him as He promised to answer all those who seek Him with their entire being.

Why Pray Many times in the Scriptures, God's command to pray reverberates especially for those who will believe as whatever they ask for in prayer will happen and He will do whatever they ask in Jesus' name. God delights to grant petitions of the saints through their prayer, thanksgiving, intercession, and requests.

Perhaps you have asked yourself these questions: Why prayers aren't answered even if I pray to God? How do I pray now? Can anyone pray for me?

Why Pray More than just merely changing situations, prayer can and will transform our hearts and revive our love-relationship with our Maker and our neighbors. The best prayer we can pray to God is not when we make requests to intercede for others, resolve problems, heal sicknesses, vindicate from enemies, protect from evil or even turn the world upside down, it is prayer when we just close our eyes, bend down our knees, silence our hearts, cry out to Him without any agenda except to hear His voice, see His face and know Him in spirit and in truth.

If you decide to be in this posture all the days of your life and practice how to pray to God, He will definitely reveal Himself to you, show you His heart and saturate you with His loving kindness and bring restoration to your soul more than your wildest dreams and imagination.

Why do we pray to God? With prayer, we can appreciate God and comprehend His ways then find complete satisfaction in Him alone.

Debunking the Post Tribulation Rapture Theory & For Such a Time as This - WAKE UP!!

 

Debunking the Post Tribulation Rapture Theory

• Author William Jaroske

Lately there has been a rash of Christians falling for this dangerous bible teaching called the Post Tribulation Rapture. The thing is that more and more people are caring less and less what the bible actually says these days.

The Post-Tribulation Rapture philosophy also leads to other false doctrines. Colossians 2:8 is God's warning concerning false teachers,

"Beware lest any man spoil you through PHILOSOPHY and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (Colossians 2:8)

If Post-Tribulation Rapture were true; then, the last generation alive would be the only generation in over 2,000 years since the Church Age began to have to go through the Tribulation. Then, we would have to conclude that God is not a fair God. There are flaws to that post Post-Tribulation Rapture theory or the second coming of Jesus after the time of Jacobs trouble.

If Post-Tribulation Rapture were true; then, the last generation alive would be the only generation in over 2,000 years since the Church Age began to have to go through the Tribulation. Then, we would have to conclude that God is not a fair God.

Does the Bible plainly say that the Church will be raptured when Christ returns at the end of the Tribulation? and second, If we adopt that position, how will it affect other events clearly foretold in Scripture? for "no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation" (2 Peter 1:20).

We must understand that the Rapture relates exclusively to Church-age saints. It does not include Old Testament saints who were raised when Christ rose and took paradise to heaven (Matthew 27:50-53; Ephesians 4:8-10; 2 Corinthians 12:1-4).

Also, the Rapture described in 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 is for those who are "in Christ", which uniquely describes all believers since Pentecost. These have been baptized by the Spirit into the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13), and it is obvious that IF the Rapture of the Church were to occur at the end of the Tribulation there would be a serious conflict with other Scriptures.

Are there any Scriptures which speak of a resurrection of Church-age saints, both living and dead, when Christ returns at the end of the Tribulation?

The answer is, No. There is a resurrection of saints at the Second Coming (Revelation 20:4) but it is only for martyrs at the hands of Antichrist during the 7- years of Great Tribulation

Elsewhere we read that when Christ returns the saints come WITH Him, which requires that they be previously taken to heaven (Jude 14; Zechariah 14: 5; 1 Thessalonians 3:13). At the Rapture, however, Christ comes exclusively FOR His Church, which cannot include Old Testament saints or Tribulation saints. The saints who are alive on earth at the Second Coming are not resurrected but go alive into the kingdom (Zechariah 14:16-21)

TEST NO.2: The Post-Tribulation Rapture theory is in conflict with the main sequence of events in the last days.

We know that the "end of the age" will be a short period of 7 years called the Great Tribulation or "the time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble" (Jeremiah 30:7), after which Christ will come. Matthew wrote

Does a fish know it is wet? For one thing when the final event happens and it sure will end the Pre trib post trib rapture debate real quick. Maybe it is time for Christians to stop and think that they are being poisoned by philosophy.

Do you sabotage your fitness resolutions every year? Here’s what to do instead

• Author Elin Kanchev

How to keep your focus and stay on track

Are you one of the millions of people who resolve to start working out on January 1? While you’re probably excited to get back into the gym after indulging in more than a few delicious holiday treats, it can also be difficult to get back into a workout routine after weeks or months away from the gym. Turn your New Year’s resolution into a goal you work towards all year long by following these tips to avoid injury and ease back into a gym routine:

Make new year fitness goals long-term.

One of the biggest ways to actually keep your New Year’s resolution in 2018 is to set specific long-term goals. For example, you might say “Right now, I can do 15 push-ups. In six months, I’m going to be able to do 30,” instead of simply saying “I’m going to work out more in 2018.” Once you reach your initial goal, set another. And then another. Setting specific future goals helps you ease back into working out and keeps your New Year’s resolution because you’ll continue moving forward.

See the big picture.

A lot of people make a New Year’s resolution to work out thinking they’ll see results overnight. But working out is a process, and it’s important to stay positive when you don’t see immediate results after just a few days back in the gym. When you get discouraged, take a deep breath and think about all you’ve achieved since you started working out again. Have you shaved a few seconds off your run time? Benched five extra pounds? It may not sound like much to you now, but those small victories add up to big gains in the long-term.

Take it slow (but not too slow).

One of the biggest mistakes most people make when easing back into working out is going too hard, too fast. If you’ve been out of the gym for a while, start with shorter workouts several times a week, and incorporate stretch sessions before and after each workout. On the other hand, don’t cheat yourself out of a challenge. It can be tempting to stay in your workout comfort zone. Instead, increase the duration and intensity of your workouts over time to ensure you stay healthy and strong.

Let go of stress and enjoy workouts.

It can be overwhelming to take in all the fitness advice you’re bombarded with everyday. Just let go of all the magazine workout tips, gym advice from friends, and exercise infomercials you’ve accumulated. As you ease back into working out, try to empty your mind, and instead take time to strengthen the bond between mind and body. One great way to do this is to meditate briefly before a workout session. When your mind and body are aligned, you’ll be more focused on your workout, and more likely to keep that New Year’s resolution all year long.

Work out with a personal trainer.

Consider investing in a personal trainer to stay motivated on your new year fitness journey. Working out with a personal trainer can help you get the most out of your fitness routine and give you guidance on the best exercises to help you meet your goals.

About Media and Influence and America or "Banana Republic"?

 -Author June Stepansky

We are fortunate to live in a country and at a time when we have almost unlimited access to information — political, social and personal through many TV and radio outlets, through newspapers and through the internet. What many of us don’t always take the time to realize is that all of these outlets are businesses who have owners and motives and agendas of their own which do not always reflect truth. These businesses also have advertisers who ultimately have their own agenda which can compromise the objectivity of reporting what is true.

How then can we decide that the source of our information is truthful and reliable? We probably can’t, unless we know who owns the outlet and understand their motives. The other way to seek the truth is to get our information from as many different sources with diverse opinions as possible and then sift through all the different opinions and make an informed judgment .

This may seem like too much of an effort for most of us. Is it really important that we do this? It is one of the most important things that we will ever do . If we don’t make the effort to be thoroughly informed, unscrupulous individuals will be able to bend us through emotional or intellectual manipulation to become their puppets for carrying out their ideals. That is how countries ultimately lose their freedom.

It is all the more important now because the current world trend in so many countries including our own is toward limiting challenging ideas and trying to demean and control our media. We must value all of our media and fight for the freedom of all the press to write and speak whatever they feel is their truth even if we don’t agree with them and even when we are concerned about what they say. That is what makes a democracy strong. If any individual or group attacks the freedom to express our ideas no matter how distasteful those ideas may be, then we must suspect that these people and groups want to ultimately enslave us and limit our freedom. No one, of course, must be able to advocate violence, but beyond that one limitation, in a free society we must allow all diverse opinions. No matter how difficult that is.

It will take the awareness of all of us that there will always be unscrupulous individuals who will try to manipulate our thinking, if we allow them to do it. A truly informed electorate is the one way that we will always be able to know the truth of any given situation and the only way that we will continue to retain our precious freedom of thought and action in a continuing free society.

Winning Through Defeat: Eleven Commandments for Elections Losers & #MugClub #LWC Election 2020: This is Far from Over! Rudy Giuliani | Louder with Crowder

 

• Author Vincent Womujuni

Many countries, developed or underdeveloped, have struggled to solve the problem of electoral malpractice for decades. The situation has been worsened by the advancement of technology in which computer hackers can manipulate the voting machines and gain easy access to confidential voting material to influence the outcome of the elections. To avenge their unfair defeat, some legislators have resorted to taking the law into their own hands through guerilla wars and civil disobedience. Although some freedom fighters have succeeded in overthrowing dictatorial regimes through the barrel of the gun, bloodshed and violence should not be used as bargaining chips in future political negotiations. When the war happens, innocent women and children are the ones who carry the heavy burdens. Those who resort to cruelty after their defeat expose their true character: they are not interested in serving their people; their predisposition to ruthlessness suggests that their ambitions to serve their constituents are driven by their personal and political self interests. Here are the eleven commandants for winning after the unfair loss of an election:

Revolutionary Tactical Strength And Conditioning Program Provides A Simple Training Blueprint To Help Cops, Soldiers, And Prepared Citizens Gain Tactical Muscle

1. Losing is not the end of the world: If you played by the rules, but lost unfairly, it means that you still enjoy the good will of your electorates, and so it is critical that you consolidate that support by staying in touch with your staffers and agents. It is also imperative that you acknowledge their contributions towards your successes. Recognizing and rewarding their hard work rekindles their hope and builds their confidence in you and your ability to lead.

2. It is okay to resolve your grievances through the courts of law: Using the legal system does some good things: it reminds the fraudulent politicians of their responsibilities to their voters; corruption is exposed; the landmark case upon which future court cases could be argued and decided is created; and it puts electoral riggers on the defensive, hence demystifying their invincibility.

3. The bush is not the safest place to be: The world is tired of wars. Guerilla activities yield nothing other than more death and more suffering. The situations in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Libya, Somalia and many other nations in the world are a constant reminder that dialogue trumps guns and ammunitions. With the advancement of technology, a drone operated by a remote control tens of thousands of miles away can hunt down the renegades and bring them to book.

4. We cannot have two leaders at a time: Regardless of how someone won the election, it is crucial that we give him or her a chance to do his or her job and wait for our turn. If the losers are harassed after their questionable defeat, the proof will be clearer: the winners are politically disoriented, temperamentally unfit and dangerously unqualified to lead.

5. Dialogue is the most important communication skill: Don’t confuse pugnacious or combative behavior with constructive discussion to resolve problems. The natural disposition to be aggressive and belligerent when one has been treated unfairly leads to antagonism and intransigence, and this does not yield a compromise in a conflict resolution situation. Despite the fact that many peace talks in the troubled nations have been labeled "peace jokes," effective dialogue has gone a long way in quelling situations that could have potentially become strong bedrocks for genocide or mass murder around the world.

6. Be pro-active rather than reactive: Stop whining and complaining to whomever cares to listen to you about your unjust loss. Use this time to reflect on what went wrong and what you need to change in your campaign strategy to emerge victorious in the next election. Whenever necessary, take a tactical retreat. Your rivals might have blackmailed you and wounded you emotionally, but steer clear of any controversies that could hurt your character further. Temper down your rhetoric and anger and plan for a better tomorrow. What difference does it make if your anger and outbursts embolden your enemies? It is okay to disagree, but when you do, let it be done in a gracious and professional way that benefits you and repairs your credibility. Be the adult in the room. Reach out to your adversaries during moments when they are not trigger-happy. Be the good guy, and the plethora of opportunities will open up for you.

7. Don’t be idle and disorderly: One day I asked a colleague of mine, a professor, why he was still teaching with all the accomplishments he had attained in his personal and professional life—he had written many books, he had travelled the world, and he had taught at many prestigious universities across the globe. His response was that he needed an address and that he loved grooming the young minds, the leaders of tomorrow. I learned a lot from him. Likewise, during your strategic retreat, find an occupation. Find an address. Resume your normal life. I have seen some aspiring congressmen and women remain jobless while making many unforced and regrettable errors. There is one gentleman in my district who wanted to become a senator by all means necessary and inadvertently pronounced dead one of his opponents and pleaded with the people to vote for him because he himself was still alive.

8. Wait for your turn: We have a very big problem of traffic jam in our world today. Although to a larger degree this is due to the voluminous and ever-growing transportation industry, to a lesser extent, the mess is caused by our impatience. You go to the bank and are number one in line, but before you know it, you are number ten because nine other people have suddenly cut through the line in front of you. You don’t want to drive during rush hours in our brave new world. Everybody cuts everybody off, and if you are not a steady driver, crazy drivers can easily knock sunshine out of you. Some them drive over shoulders, others on pavements, and the majority in trenches, and if it were possible, some would operate their vehicles on top of each other or on building roof tops. This is the same thing with our anxious politicians. They are not willing to stand in line and wait for their turn. My advice? Stand in line in a grocery store. Make a queue at a petrol station. Read the warning signs in coffee houses. Be careful; don’t step on someone’s toes while trying to beat him to the newly released quarter pound cheese burger at the fast food restaurant. Stand in line. No VIPs, please!

9. Get involved: Instead of spending your entire adult life criticizing your enemies, get involved in service delivery. Be the difference maker. The more you fight and verbally abuse your antagonists without showing your record of accomplishments, the more you augment their popularity and their savagery behavior toward your character. There is need for good performing schools, build one; well-equipped hospitals are in short supply, advocate one; dig wells and repair broken boreholes to provide your electorates with safe and clean drinking water.

10. Rest: Even God rested on the seventh day. After a strenuous and odious electoral process, take a well-deserved rest. Do something to relax your mind: play some sports, join some dancing and singing clubs, take a vacation, spend some quality time with your loved ones, or sit down and eat your vegetables.

11. Last but not least, pray. Don’t live as though the Supreme Being does not exist. Consult your spiritual director or adviser. You may not like hearing him or her tell you that "the Almighty loves you," because you are angry for losing an election, but indeed He loves you. Your time is not His time.

The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship Featuring: WHITECROSS and An Open Letter to Religious Leaders

An Open Letter to Religious Leaders

• Author June Stepansky

Primitive groups millions of year ago began religious practices in response to their fear of the unknown and often terrifying world in which they lived, and to try to understand the mysterious forces of the universe which surrounded them and impacted their lives.

In the ensuing centuries, a great variety of religions appeared. There were some that worshiped the sun and the moon. Their were some that called for human sacrifices. There were some that worshiped a large number of deities and some that worshiped only one. Many of these religions no longer exist as part of our lives and have been replaced by more modern versions.

Although all religions have at their core a moral, spiritual and social base, the history of the interaction between religious groups from earliest centuries until the present has been one of intolerance, violence and bloodshed.

We are now at a time in world history that calls for more tolerance and dialogue , because man’s weaponry can now easily poison and destroy our world. Religious leaders of all religions must come together to recognize what common bonds they share and emphasize those bonds of family, honesty, social unity etc. which are part of all religions. Religious leaders must insist that their followers allow freedom of worship to all religions and freedom from coercion to conform to any particular value system. They must emphasize the separation of church and state in all countries. The goal is that every person have freedom to worship as their conscience dictates in a country which is tolerant and respects all rights.

Religious leaders have enormous power to change the world into one of cooperation and harmony, if they choose.

Isn't that the goal of all loving human beings?

What is Social Entrepreneurship? Why is it important to have Social Entrepreneurs? And The Principle of Value | Dr. Myles Munroe

• Author Prakash Raje

The existence of Businesses relies on making profits and incorporates any residual concerns about social good as part of their normal profit seeking behavior. (Continued below........)

 (.........Continued........)All the Businesses and Business owners are concerned about social good as just being another imperative rather than the reason for their existence.

Generations of over two to three decades of capitalists aver that they do business for making profits alone and by extension, their businesses are creating social value.

No matter who or what anyone is, All of them have in common is a pervasive profit seeking behavior that places social concerns at the bottom despite the increasing tendency world over in order to make the corporate and business take greater responsibility for their social outcomes of business.

The reason of Rise and Momentum behind Social Entrepreneurship -

There exists another category of entrepreneurship solely for promoting social welfare. These entrepreneurs are Social Entrepreneurs who are primarily focused on actualizing social value and social good as opposed to rampant profit seeking.

Social enterprises that have the bottom line consideration of positive social good and creating social value instead of existing for profits alone. It is not the case that these social entrepreneurs do not make profits or do not enjoy the proceeds from their ventures, it’s just that their endeavor is to do good for society through their firms and profits generated gets usually divided in a equitable manner or gets reinvested into their firms as part a cyclical process of social welfare.

So far, social entrepreneurs reflect a growing trend among capitalists worldwide that the time has now come for such people to take society and its welfare seriously.

The latest edition of the World Economic Forum in Davos, which hosts an annual gathering of the business and political elite and movers/shakers in the world, had as its central theme the responsibility of business towards social good and welfare outcomes.

The Pioneer of Social Entrepreneurship: Mohammad Yunus

Some real world social entrepreneurs are Mohammed Yunus of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh who pioneered the concept of Micro Credit or reaching out with money to those who lacked access to formal banking channels.

Through this endeavor, Yunus managed to vastly improve the lives of poor and the underprivileged wherein through provision of credit in small amounts to those lacking established businesses that are needed for documentation and other requirements that are sought by the formal financial sector.

The experiment in social good proved to be so successful that Yunus was awarded the Nobel Prize for his efforts and what more, he became an example and an inspiration for generations of social entrepreneurs to follow his path and work for the betterment of society rather than for individual gratification.

Indeed, this model was adopted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in India, which launched the SHGs or the Self Help Groups that are outside of the purview of formal credit and instead, were relying on money lenders to borrow for their small businesses.

Thus, it can be said that Social Entrepreneurs reach those who the eminent management expert, C K Prahlad, calls the Bottom of the Pyramid and ensure that society benefits from their ventures.

Bogus Social Entrepreneurs, Technology, and Role of the Government

Having said that, one must also caution that there are many who in the guise of being Social Entrepreneurs often take the system for a ride and make huge amounts of money in the process.

There are countless examples worldwide of so-called social entrepreneurs who racked up massive profits at the expense of the poor and the underprivileged. Of course, we are not saying that Social Entrepreneurship as a concept has failed because of unscrupulous individuals.

Rather, what we are saying is that government’s world over must encourage and nurture social entrepreneurs and at the same time, put in place safeguards that would serve as a system of checks and balances.

In recent years, the increasing adoption of technology at all levels and in all fields of society has given a fillip to social entrepreneurs and Marketing Agency in Mumbai.

As it is easy to scale up and reap the efficiencies from the economies of scale and at the same time, leverage the synergies from integrating business and social good with technology, there is more than ever a consensus that when used properly, technology can indeed serve society better and encourage social entrepreneurs.

Conclusion

Lastly, whether you are student aspiring to serve society or an established professional looking to follow your passion, social entrepreneurship can help you in realizing your vision and actualizing your mission.

With famous rich business legends such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and NR Narayana Murthy willing to provide seed capital for social entrepreneurs, there is no dearth of encouragement and incubating for them.

Moreover, governments are also helping social entrepreneurs and Marketing Agency in Mumbai in their endeavors and hence, we are at a Tipping Point as far as social entrepreneurship is concerned.

To conclude, the world needs more social entrepreneurs and the ecosystems are also helpful for them to make a difference to society.
