The Monk and the Businessman on Empowerment - Part 1

Hari om from Haridwar again! With our little group of devoted volunteers, we have just returned from Joop village, near Champawat, where we spent 10 enchanting days in our Children's Academy of Joy. In this extremely poor and remote village in the high Himalayas, the Hariharananda Mission established its first ever little school for poor children four years ago. Despite enormous obstacles and rigorous environment, it is blossoming beautifully under the loving care of our principal and co-founder, Mr. Ramesh Pandey, assisted by all members of his beloved family. Please visit also our photo gallery and click on School > CAF School Champawat, India. This gallery will be updated soon with new photos and videos of our recently-concluded Annual Function day performed entirely by the children.

In our ongoing The Monk and the Businessman series we begin today a new series on empowerment from a spiritual perspective. To begin with, David Fischman presents an overview of the two basic types of companies—bureaucratic-centric, and empowerment-centric, and what it means in terms of customer satisfaction, time management, and employee performance.
Happy listening!
God bless you all.
