covering risk

I think, the most interesting secret of crisis communication is “covering risk”. I didn`t know that the risk consist of hazard and outrage. I really think that the hazard and the reaction of the people are often different things. In most cases the outrage is much higher than the hazard. I think, responsible for that are often the journalists. The article about covering risks… Continue

women soccer 2020

In 2011 I donated 10 $ to a women football coach training program in Rwanda. Because of the financial aid from all over the world this program was completed successfully and 100 female football coaches formed 100 women football teams throughout the country. The coaches reported that women who joined the football teams became more self-confident. The women realize that they have an own identity and that they have also rights. They can just meet within this social venture for playing soccer and… Continue

women soccer

As an enthusiastic soccer player i've decided to donate 10$ to a project from rwanda that trains 100 women with football coaching skills to provide 100 women football teams throughout the country. I have a friend that were in rwana for a social-year in 2010 and he told me that he played a lot of football with the kids in rwanda. So I know that the conditions to play football are not so good. With this small donation I got the feeling that i helped a little bit to improve this conditions… Continue

micro financing

In my opinion micro financing is a creative solution for using money in the future. Banks do not provide financial services, such as loans, to clients with little or no cash income. The principle of micro financing is, that microfinance institutions provide financial basic services like loans, savings and insurances for people. One example are the poor people in developing countries. Poor people borrow from informal moneylenders and save with informal collectors. The lended money can help to… Continue

the fair trade currency

Great news from the World Trade Organization (WTO). The WTO made ​​a great deal with the World Bank. From now on, a new fair trade currency is introduced. Only with this fair trade currency, it is possible to conduct international trade. Before the states can trade, they have to purchase this new fair trade currency from the World Bank. The course to obtain the new currency will depend on the GDP. States with low GDP get more marks for less. States with high GDP have to pay more for the same… Continue

kiva

I used http://www.kiva.org and helped a man from Armenia to buy potato seedlings to sow. It was amazing how easy it is to help people with their individual problems. It also was a very nice experience.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
