Niko Nkululeko: So, I hear a lot of talk about a social business plan project that you are working on at Paul Quinn College. Is this true?
Valette Reese: Why yes, yes it is.
Niko Nkululeko: How far are you coming along on this project of yours?
Valette Reese: I am actually almost done. I am just finishing up a few financial aspects of the project and tieing up some loose ends.
Niko Nkululeko: Is there a type of prize that you'll get once you complete this business plan?
Valette Reese: Yes! We are actually competing for a $2,500 prize from Pepsico to be split between the top three presentations.
Niko Nkululeko: Wow. Thats a lot of money...Can you elaborate a little more on your business plan please?
Valette Reese: Well I don't want to let the cat out of the bag before I present, but I can tell you why we are even doing this. The whole point of our business plan is to create a social business that can make money, sustain itself, and solve a social problem. For example, creating a store that sells fresh vegetables to solve the problem of obesity.
Niko Nkululeko: This sounds like a great plan Valette. How can veiwers find out more about this spectacular plan?
Vallete Reese: Well I can tell you the social problem I am trying to solve is unemployment for ex-convicts. If you would like to see what my business is you can come to Paul Quinn College on Dec. 13, 2010 in the Zale Library at 6:30pm to see my presentation.
Niko Nkululeko: Well there you have it folks. Thank you Reese so much for your time and I wish you the best on your plan and am looking forward to your big win Monday!
