The typical b-school student is instrumental, driven by concerns of job and money. It is not that Ana Alves, the creator of this blog, has anything against money. In fact, someday she may become an entrepreneur with tons of money.
What is distinctive about Ana's approach to business is the desire to see how personal goals and skills, in her case the desire to be globally minded and to employ her skills in building and construction, can be matched to her social goal of assisting those who need such skills -- in various parts of the world.
The needs for building skills arise in various settings -- reconstruction after natural disasters, building habitats for those lacking good housing, and constructing simple infrastructures to help communities. Ana explores all these settings.
In this blog, Ana Alves and her associates explore the worldwide trends in socially oriented building and architectural activities.
We hope that as the blog builds, one posting at a time, so does the world of needed housing and infrastructure, one nail at a time.
