Fund-Raising Tele-Summit Convenes
To Aid Microdevelopment Projects

 
I don’t normally do this, but once in a while an opportunity comes along that’s just too good to pass up. On October 23-26, 2006, an historic event is going to take place. This type of event has NEVER been done before…. A FUNDRAISING TELE-SUMMIT!! Leveraging the power of the internet, the telephone, and a high-caliber panel of experts, TWO AMAZING THINGS will occur at the same time…

ONE… small business owners from around the world will gather together to find out from leading-edge experts on what it takes to be successful in the 21st Century… because, as you’ll see, it’s different than in any other time in history.

And TWO… 20% of the proceeds – right off the top – will be given to micro-development causes that help families around the world move out of poverty and into plenty. So you’ll feel good knowing that you’re helping others, while you’re helping yourself ... BTW-This is the brainchild of an amazing woman: Coco Fossland and YES, we are related!!!!!   READ MORE  --Joeann Fossland

"Africa is a paradox which illustrates and highlights neo-colonialism. Her earth is rich, yet the products that come from above and below the soil continue to enrich, not Africans predominantly, but groups and individuals who operate to Africa’s impoverishment." --Kwame Nkrumah (1900–1972), Ghanaian president. Neo-Colonialism, ch. 1 (1965)

The rich man goes out yachting,
Where sanctity can’t pursue him;
The poor goes afloat
In a fourpenny boat,
Where the bishop groans to view him.

-- Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866), British poet. Rich and Poor; or, Saint and Sinner (l. 36–40)
