Tayari's Blog: Dave Eggers Wants to Change The World

Recently Dave Eggers have a talk about his community outreach program 826 Valencia. On a rainy day like today, I really appreciated this dose of optimisim. The video is part of an archive of talks given by community change-makers and is sponsored by TED (Technology, Education, and Design.) Each year, TED gives a $100,000 prize to help the recipients "change the world." I love that they use that unabashedly idealistic language.

I am going to take some time to go through the archives and I'll post the ones that seem right for the blog. (Uh, not to hate on a philanthropic organization, but a drive-by scan of the roster makes me think they could use a little effort to up the diversity situation.)

But, anyway, with no further ado, here's one of the 2008 winners, Dave Eggers.
