Deserving of Philanthropy Dollars — Gates Foundation Supports IRRI

This past week I’ve seen a lot of talk about philanthropic efforts different companies are engaged in.  I’m very proud of the work my company is doing in supporting the education of rice & wheat breeders — these two crops provide a significant part of the diets of many of the world’s poor.  We also have an incredible project in water efficiency maize for Africa (WEMA).

Here’s a video clip from the International Rice Research Institute that helps you understand their work & the importance of it.

In this clip, one of the Gates Foundation folks explains their support of the organization as a philanthropic organization.

    […] 2010/03/29 Getting Your Word Out Globally Without Global Costs Posted by Janice under rice, social media, travel, video | Tags: digital storage, international rice research, IRRI, Los Banos, rice | Leave a Comment  In my most recent post about “rice world,” I gave a quick view of my visit at the International Rice Research Institute. Since I was going there with a couple of PhDs in plant breeding, I anticipated meeting with scientists (which was exactly what happened in a few other Los Banos institutes)! But I was in for a surprise and a pleasant one in fact. Since I work everyday in communications, meeting with some of the communications team at IRRI was something I jumped into full force! In fact, I was so excited that the next time I got online, I posted a blog linking to the video we watched giving an overview of IRRI. […]
