2012 PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS®: Women Business Owners Needed to Mentor Afghan, Rwandan Business Women

About two years ago, I blogged about a U.S. Department of Labor program for women called Wi$e Up. That landed me on an email distribution list and today, I received some information about the 2012 PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS® e-mentoring program sponsored by the Institute for the Economic Empowerment of Women (IEEW). Sixty women business owners are needed to serve as mentors and/or hosts to women business owners from Afghanistan and Rwanda.  

I'm thinking about applying, and wanted to share the information with others who might be interested in applying, too. 

This seems like such a wonderful opportunity to pay forward my good fortune by sharing my talents and experiences with women from war-torn countries who are striving to make a difference for their families and their country. PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS® will enable them to build a more peaceful society for generations to come.

If you decide to apply let me know. We can cross our fingers together!

This Oklahoma Life™: Red Berries

Arcadia, Oklahoma | Route 66 | Red Berries | November 2011 | jenx67 | ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Located just two blocks north of Route 66 in Arcadia, Oklahoma, this fence is a perfect display case for a vine of red berries. Known as Carolina Coralbead or Redberry Moonseed, they are poisonous, but not fatal. 

I don't think I'll take any chances.
