Previously known as 1-1 Card, it's now called B1G1 Card.
When we asked Wilson Ong from Ultimate Communications (one of the B1G1 Business Partners), why he chose to become a social entrepreneur, he said one thing we will not forget.
One of the major things about success in life is to sow seeds to benefit others.
Wilson and Bong started their phone card company in Singapore 6 years ago. While both of them are from the telecommunication industry, Wilson is a Singaporean and Bong is from Indonesia.

You may already have heard the story of Nicky Meehan (who is known as
the 'Muesli Lady' in Queensland, Australia). So we thought you would
enjoy reading this message from Nicky. It beautifully illustrates the
impact B1G1 giving is making on the feeling of many of the business
owners who integrate B1G1 into their businesses.

We met Alex Teh from Blinds Couture in Perth, Australia last year. He came on board with Buy1GIVE1Free when there were not many other businesses involved in Buy1GIVE1Free yet. When we heard about his business, we got really excited.
The business was a blind installation business. So, what makes it so exciting?
Simply this: the company had a passion to give back.

Jrn Middelborg from Thavibu Gallery is a person from whom we can learn the Heart of Art.
Jrn's got a fascinating background. He moved to Thailand in 1994 to take up his position at UNESCO (United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization). He worked with UNESCO for a number of years in the area of non-formal education. His work involved developing programs and materials to improve adult education in countries in Asia and the Pacific.

Australian Buy1GIVE1 member (and massive supporter) Liane Simons, sent us a fascinating report from the BBC about research on giving.
The researchers first carried out a survey of 630 people which asked them to rate their general happiness, report their annual income; and provide a breakdown of their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.
