Changes

<li>Through the Rainer Arnhold Fellows Program, students are empowered to develop their ideas to achieve maximum impact. Such is the case of Andrew Youn, founder of One Acre Fund, an NGO that invests in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income to reduce poverty and hunger. Below, Program Director Kevin Starr notes the impact that the program has on fellows like Andrew:&nbsp;<br/><br/>[[File:AndrewYoun-home.jpg]]<br/>''“I found Andrew Youn at a business plan competition at Stanford. He had an idea called the One Acre Fund that addressed one of our thorniest problems: rural poverty (farmers supporting a family on one acre of land). He wanted to help farmers get land and access to the market they needed on credit. He became a fellow, and working with us, his idea evolved rapidly. He leveraged our initial support to fundraise and build an organization, and is now one of the best-known social entrepreneurs out there – a leader in his field. His work has impacted 70,000 farming families – a total of 350,000-400,000 people and his budget is now in the millions. “''<br/><br/>'''5.
