About Us

Who We Are

We are a group of global business, relief, and community development practitioners from around the world.

We've designed this site to feature regular links to articles from around the world discussing:

• Business (development) 
•  Relief 
• Community Development 

We'll also enjoy guest posts from professionals working in these areas. As each of these strands are woven together they (and we) become stronger than they would otherwise be. It's our desire that the articles presented here will provide food for thought and a platform to engage and develop our own thoughts and practices in each of these areas. If something resonates with you, let's discuss it. If you think it's completely wrong, let's discuss it. If you have a question, let's discuss it.

Welcome, we trust we'll all be better informed and equipped as a result of time spent here.

Let's Go!
