  4. Social Capital “The social capital is a resource coming from the solidarity feelings of a person or a group for other person or group. These feelings can be of admiration, concern, interest, empathy, consideration, respect, responsibility or love; as any other resource it could be administrated in a right or a wrong way. Adequately employed could be used to reduce poverty” Juan Carlos Gallego, Colombia

  5. Collaboration network • “ The structure of a network is based on reciprocity and trust…the network must have a unifying goal …..independent and voluntary members integrated by solidarity…they create social capital, well being and make the economy progress by innovation and capacity to change..” • Juan Carlos Gallego
