Kenyan among 5 Americans to Win the 2011 Purpose Prize

Civic Ventures announcedย on November 3, 2011 that Wanjiru Kamau isย one of five winners of its 2011 Purpose Prize, an annual $100,000 award for social entrepreneurs over 60 who are using their experience and passion to make an extraordinary impact on some of societyโ€™s biggest challenges. Now in its sixth year, the $17 million program is the nationโ€™s only large-scale investment in social innovators in the second half of life.

โ€œWanjiru Kamau has improved the lives of thousands of children in the Washington, D.C., area,โ€ said Marc Freedman, CEO and founder of Civic Ventures and author of The Big Shift (Public Affairs Books). โ€œItโ€™s really good news that Purpose Prize winners like Wanjiru โ€“ and millions of others in encore careers โ€“ are turning personal passions and decades of experience into invaluable contributions across sectors, continents and generations, often through entrepreneurship.

If thereโ€™s anything we learnt from Deputy President William Rutoโ€™s interview with Hussein Mohammed on Tuesday, itโ€™s that he is very good at giving punchlines and sideshows to avoid answering questions directly.

Iโ€™m not sure ifย it comes out naturally or whether he actually rehearses for it.

When asked by Hussein whether he has a problem with IEBC as presently constituted, Ruto dropped a huge punchline, completely unrelated.

โ€œPersonally I have a son who is a lawyer. I have a serious issue with my Chief Justice having an earring. But I havenโ€™t organized a demonstration.โ€

He used similar diversionary tactics when answering questionsย onย Jacob Juma.

Hereโ€™s a clip of the DP making the Mutunga statement.
