WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, December 5, 2008, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) will convene a Compassion in Action roundtable titled, "Next Generation of Social Entrepreneurship." As the final event in a two-year series of monthly Compassion in Action roundtables, this program will spotlight the innovative leadership of an emerging generation of social entrepreneurs in America. The event will bring together young people from across the Nation leading creative philanthropic efforts to address poverty, disease and a range of other critical needs at home and across the globe.

Following the roundtable discussion, the OFBCI will host a service project for the young entrepreneurs in partnership with World Vision, a faith-based international nonprofit and PEPFAR and PMI partner, to build Caregiver Kits for men and women who provide home-based care to people with HIV/AIDS, supported by faith-based and community organizations.
