JustNeem has begun another exciting journey! This time it’s a partnership with the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC – Chapel Hill, together with the Center for Sustainable Enterprise.
We have been accepted to participate in the BASE Program, the Business Accelerator for Sustainable Entrepreneurship, organized by the Business School. It focuses on bringing together local North Carolina businesses with environmental and social objectives in order to connect them with development resources in the community.
On Wed., January 28, we attended the first BASE reception and had a chance to meet the other participants, such as the Green Fountain Group, an organization that focuses on providing information, education and training about ‘green’ living to low wealth communities, along with a host of advisors and mentors that will guide the program.
Next we’ll all be meeting with folks from the Hutchison Law Group and SJF Advisory Serivices to learn more about growing a business in a challenging economy. This should be good!
We are excited to get to know other social entrepreneurs in the North Carolina area with similar visions of making a difference, and we feel privileged to network and learn from the business development folks that have offered their time to the BASE program. You can read more about BASE on the Kenan-Flagler Web site.

Hey Magda! Terri Meyers here. Well you’ll never guess!
I used the Eucalyptus NEEM soap on my Sumac Poison (resembles poison
ivy/oak) and wow! It stopped the itching and has accelerated the
healing! I’ve been in misery for days not sleeping and itching like
crazy and thought I’d try the NEEM soap on my affected areas and it
worked! I’m definitely going to have to buy more!
The soap also works on mosquito bites, omitting red bumps from shaving, bug bites, scratches and more.
An FYI for folks on the soap and others using it if you have poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac. These “poisons” cannot be passed on or spread from your body after you have bathed. The oil from the plant is what is contagious, not the poison itself, the blisters, fluid from the blisters or anything. Check out http://www.webmd.com for more info. So don’t worry if others use the soap after you – they can’t catch your poison, but they can catch the amazing healing ingredients of NEEM soap!
Blessings to you all!
