You have to define in which group is every person before you can start the communication.
The article explain very well Risk and its components
risk = hazard +…

Today I meet Kunar, she is one of the 15 women we help learn to read in 2010. Who could ever think that the money of our lunch there my co workers and I decided to donate one day in April of 2010 could be so helpful.
After 10 years of effort Kunar is now a part of the Afghanistan Government.
When she told the story of how she was part of the program and how she learned to read thanks this program, I was in shock, I could not believe that the money we spend in my… Continue

I think this is the best idea I ever heard, The Time Banking focus in the important of people and what they can offer to the community.
This is a little introduction to the subject:
A time-based currency is an alternative currency where the unit of
exchange is the man-hour.
Some time-based currencies value everyone’s contributions equally.
One hour equals one service credit. In these systems, one person
volunteers to work for an hour for another person; thus,…

The best leaders are those the people hardly know exist.
The next best is a leader who is loved and praised.
Next comes the one who is feared.
The worst one is the leader that is despised.
If you don't trust the people,
they will become untrustworthy.
The best leaders value their words, and use them sparingly.
When she has accomplished her task,
the people say,…

1) System of water pumping with a bicycle - A great Idea!!
A Rotary Club in Zaragoza Spain developed a System of water pumping with a bicycle, the three properties were there it…
