Shortly before the holidays I attended a small press conference of Jeffrey Sachs, special UN adviser, on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Jeffrey is a kind of an idol for me because his book "
The End of Poverty". He was highly inspirational for me to change my career from pure profit-making business into the development and social business segment.
Therefore, I was superhappy when I had the chance to briefly chat with him and to take a picture!

Although his UN Millennium Plan might not be perfect he is fighting against poverty with great passion:
"These goals are not our normal kinds of goals, these are life and death goals."
