Before the awards are won.
The pioneers come.
Be at the start.

Lokta Paper Making Project
A great video about an inspiring business in Nepal:
In Nepal, people have been making Lokta paper for centuries. The Papermaking Center (Est. 2005) in Nangi, Nepal is just one of the income generating programs that benefit the prosperity of the Himanchal School as well as the local people of remote village. To date, the Center has created jobs for 8 women of the impoverished village.
A film by Chele Norrie & Michael Nyffeler about The Himalayan Gap project.
Chele & Michael have just spent 2 months documenting the awesome story of Mahabir Pun a Nepalese man who won the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2007 for being a doer and change-maker, after establishing a High School in his home village: Nangi, Nepal, he installed wireless internet routers throughout the region and now the village has 2 computer labs and wireless internet. Other surrounding villages have also participated in the building of computer labs.
