Develop a Social Venture Feasibility Plan

When Dr Jordan Kassalow was studying to be an optometrist, he participated in medical missions to Latin America. On a trip to Mexico, his team traveled to a site where they found 2,000 people waiting in line for an eye exam. According to Dr. Kassalow:
One of those in line was a 7-year-old boy who was carrying a Braille book. The boy’s family explained that he was blind but as I started to examine his eyes, I soon realized that the boy was just extremely myopic. As I placed the glasses on the boy’s nose, I watched as the blank stare of a blind person transformed into an expression of unadulterated joy—I was witnessing someone seeing his world for the first time.

Dr. Kassalow had found a wicked problem he wanted to solve, he understood the value in finding a solution, and he knew the communities he wanted to serve.
