We're all proud and excited about Anna being included in the Devex 40 Under 40 roster - A triumph for social enterprises everywhere.

The Devex 40 Under 40 program celebrates the work of 40 young leaders in the international development community all under the age of 40 in cities around the world. The Philippines is the very first emerging country to host this event.

We're all proud and excited about Anna being included in the roster, which honored young social entrepreneurs and development workers like Reese Fernandez-Ruiz of Rags2Riches, Inc., Anna Oposa of Save Philippine Seas, and Mark Ruiz & Bam Aquino of Hapinoy.

Now, more than ever, businesses have the power to impact and shape the Philippines' (and the world's!) development agenda. The future shines bright with possibilities! It's the BEST time to be a Filipino, and the best time to be a social entrepreneur.

YOU - our dear Human Nature dealers, advocates, and friends - are the reason that this is possible. You embraced the vision of Walang Iwanan, and today we stand with you in building a hopeful new Philippines, one social enterprise product at a time.
