There are many blogs about philanthropy, NGOs, and social entrepreneurs in the Asia Pacific region. We have tried to list them in our "Alignment of Interest" column on our site. If you know of any other blogs we should include, please email us. We will be highlighting posts we think are of interest to our readers in our new "In the Asian blogsphere" tagline.

grassroots nonprofit sector, including stories on building migrant
communities in Beijing, elderly care in Shanghai, a technology social

* Erica from ResponsibleChina.com blogs about a new form of environmental ethics - environmental virtue ethics (EVE). Erica writes: Aristotle saw moral virtue as a reflection of a certain state of character, rather than our passions or our faculties and it is this kind of virtue - a consistent, repeated, dedicated character to environmental protection that is considered a environmental virtue ethic.
