What happened down to Earth in 2011 ?
Danone.Communities gathered 2000 people in Paris, at the Carrousel du Louvre for its “General Community Meeting” (GCM).
As Pr.Yunus said after the GCM: “more than ever, Paris was the capital of social business”.
During the event, a lot of partners of Danone Communities came to Paris to give a feedback on their projects. Manoj Kumar, founder and CEO of Naandi Foundation, and Xochilt Galvez Ruiz “carrier” of the project El Alberto were among the participants who honoured us with their attendance.
