The Barbados Entrepreneurial Foundation $20 challenge is part of a national initiative that aims to promote and support entrepreneurship in Barbados.  Derek Browne designed the challenge.  Over 203 students, aged 14-15, from across Public and Private schools in Barbados were loaned $20 per month and challenged to make money, while making a difference in their communities and to give back in some way using their profits. Four have been chosen to receive awards.  The winners will be announced at the BEF summit on 18^th November.
