We’re getting close to the end of our competition and starting to gear up for TEDxYSE on November 13th. We’ve had so many wonderful applicants, the decisions are getting tough to make! We were, however, really impressed with Rocco Falconer , our fifth winner!
Rocco Falconer, 22, is the founder of Planting Promises, a community based organization in Sierra Leone that develops the prospects of the world’s poorest country by giving local people the opportunity to create sustainable business and pursue their education. Planting Promises’ innovative model not only creates meaningful jobs with high social value, but also creates a financially stable model for education. His travels in eastern and southern Africa made him think about how to deliver lasting, sustainable change for the poorest people in the world.
If you are as inspired by Rocco's work as we are and would like to learn more about it come to TEDxYSE on November 13th in Washington DC! Register now. We'll see you there!
