Read one of our members', Veronika Munk's story in English about three amazing persons with intellectual disabilities living in downtown Tapolca, Hungary. Two years ago they were confined to a residential institution that accommodates two hundred people, like the twenty thousand other intellectually challenged people in Hungary. These three are the exception, who can live independent, ordinary lives. The original report was published in index.hu. The full story in English here.

The first issue of the Hungarian Forbes magazine ran a 4-page feature story on some top Hungarian social entrepreneurs including Áron Jakab, one of the newly selected Ashoka fellows. He created Fruit of Care to professionalize state employment centers for disabled and radically change how the non-profit sector works with the disabled to conduct business. The article also presents an entrepreneur who employs people in a region in Hungary where unemployment is rampant, and a book publisher for kids who focuses on social issues in her new books. A great example of a good and thoughtful story in Hungarian press. (Accompanying is an op-ed by Attila Mong (Spread! Network). |
