David Caprara and Robert L. Mallett - Corporate Philanthropy 2.0 - washingtonpost.com: "Corporate Philanthropy 2.0 By David Caprara and Robert L. Mallett Special to washingtonpost.com's Think Tank Town Wednesday, November 28, 2007; 12:00 AM

A volunteer scientist working to improve patient care in northern Kenya and an accountant building a financial reporting system for a small NGO in Capetown. A doctor assessing training for medical colleagues in Russia and a pharmacist working at a border clinic helping Burmese refugees. An MBA in Rwanda procuring potentially life-saving medicines.
