Nick Talarico, Operations Director of Forge, tells Global X what happened to Paul, a refugee who had to travel across several countries in Africa before reaching a refugee camp where he met Forge's team.

She is 24 years old. She is a student at Stanford. And in her spare time, she works in three refugee camps in Zambia, helping 60,000 refugees build better lives. This is Kjerstin Erickson's amazing story, as told to Global X.

Global X recently ran into Caroline Casey, the founding CEO of The Aisling Foundation in Ireland (“aisling” is Gaelic for dream and vision).
 
Caroline is an Ashoka Fellow and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum. She was recently named an Eisenhower Fellow –which explains why she was in the U.S. for two months to meet other social entrepreneurs and expand her network (including an exclusive meeting with Global X!)
 
Global X was mesmerized as Caroline told her personal story and how she was dealing with her own disability. Even though she is legally blind and can only see up to one meter, she managed to achieve, at age 34, the three dreams she had when she was a teenager: she was an elephant handler, she now works for herself, and she drove a race car at 185 km/h. As she puts it, "you don’t need eyes to have a vision!"
 
Global X loved what she said about disability: "It's not about you!" Or about life: "We are all frightened, we all have obstacles, but we all have wonderful moments when we are heroes. We all have potential... It's all about facing the demons and taking the risks."

Her parting words as she was flying back to Europe: "It’s far better to be a dangerous dreamer than a day dreamer."

Social entrepreneur Sebastien Marot, founder of Friends-International, tells Global X what happened when he first went to Cambodia. He was there for only a few days, but after what he saw as he was leaving a Phnom Penh restaurant on his first night, he decided to stay. That was 12 years ago.

Global X a également interviewé en français Sébastien Marot, l'entrepreneur social qui s'occupe des enfants de la rue au Cambodge. 

Social entrepreneur Ann Cotton, Founder and Executive Director of CAMFED International, tells Global X what happened when she ran into a young woman in Zambia, a 26-year old orphan who was responsible for her three siblings: "She was fearful she was HIV positive. She asked me to go with her to the clinic."

Listen to her as she also talks about the world in 2017, a world "where every human being will be born from a well-educated woman."
