在台灣，「社會企業」這四個字夯了好幾年，你也許也知道，跟一般企業相比，社會企業的目的在於解決社會問題，而不是追求股東最大利潤，所得盈餘將用於某種社會公義。

但你知道社會企業能如何幫助部落嗎？

如果你是一位在偏遠山區部落的新任小學校長，位於海拔 600 公尺高的山區，離最近的城鎮要 2 小時的山路，因為部落工作不易，成人都離鄉背井去外地工作；留下的部落小孩，面臨著教育與文化傳承等重重問題……

若你是這位校長，你會怎麼做？If you were a principal of a primary school in a remote indigenous village, located in a mountain of 600 meters above sea level and every villager takes 2 hours of bumpy road to the nearest town. As not many job opportunities here, most adults leave their home to work in big cities and leave children and the elders back at home, who face serious problem of grandparenting and cultural preservation……

If you were the principal, what would you do?

「匠人所棄的石頭，如今成為房角的頭塊石頭。」

這句話出自聖經《詩篇 118 篇》，意思是說啊，就算是工匠沒眼光、想丟棄的石頭（人民），神也不會放棄，甚至選作為神的選民，施予恩惠。

這句話不只在聖經裡算數，只要我們有眼光，到處都是美好的上等璞石 －－ 花蓮的徐建正牧師，就是這樣撿回了許多好人才，並創辦了「角石工作室」…… “The stone that builders rejected has become the cornershone.” (Psalm 118:22)

The sentence from the Bibles means that, the God will pick the stones that the craftmen don’t want to be the cornerstones and blesses them.

— From the sentence, the pastor Hsu Jian-Cheng and Jiang Hsian-Shu have picked many “stones” that no other wants, and created a workshop called “Cornerstone Workshop”!
