Her journey led her to meet a former rocket scientist turned inventor, an economist turned philanthropist and a myriad of inspirational people from all walks of life using their ideas and innovation to make the world a better place. Armed with a camera and laptop and an unrelenting desire to meet the change-makers of this world Clare Mulvany travelled through Ireland, Africa, Asia, India, the Pacific and the United States discovering the inspiring stories of social entrepreneurs using their business skills and humanitarian passion to bring hope to millions.
