Event Celebrating Publication of Enough to Go Around Unites Worlds of Publishing, Finance, and Philanthropy

New York –– On November 12, an assortment of representatives from the worlds of publishing, journalism, new media, finance, micro–finance, philanthropy, and NGOs gathered at the Synergos Institute’s offices atop the NY Life building to celebrate the release of Enough to Go Around – Searching for Hope in Afghanistan, Pakistan & Darfur, the new title by documentary filmmaker and photojournalist Chip Duncan, published by SelectBooks, Inc.

The event was well attended, thanks not only to the level of interest in Mr. Duncan’s work and vision, but also to the efforts and support of the Synergos Institute. Synergos is a charitable organization founded by Peggy Dulany in 1986. Its mission is to reduce poverty and promote social justice around the world by facilitating partnerships and connecting influential individuals and organizations to effective action at the community level. Bob Dunn is the Synergos President and CEO, and in his opening remarks addressed to the gathering, he praised Duncan’s lucid and engaging prose style which he felt deserved equal attention to the powerful photography.

The next speaker was Dr. David Martin of M·CAM, Inc., a financial institution whose mission focuses on “ethical financing for international engagement.” Dr. Martin delivered an impassioned plea for greater and more meaningful outreach to the developing world.
